Thank you for joining me for this Busy Mind Reset Meditation.
We're going to take a moment to get comfortable either sitting down or lying on the floor and we're just going to notice what our thoughts are doing.
We're going to notice if there's a common theme,
Maybe a thought loop that you know that you've been stuck in.
We're going to acknowledge it,
Thank the mind for doing its job even if it is overworking just a little bit.
Then we're going to bring our awareness down into our body.
I want you to shake your hands out,
Shake the arms,
Bring a little bit of movement to the upper body.
We're going to use our hands and brush down the outside of the arms like we were brushing sand away,
Brushing away any tension and then we're going to bring that movement down into the lower half of the body.
Maybe we tap or rub our feet on the floor,
Maybe we shake the legs or wiggle the hips a little bit.
Do whatever your body is calling for in this moment and then let that movement come to stillness.
Feel the sit bones contacting the ground,
Feel them maybe they're sitting you on a chair and I want you to take a moment to see if you can soften your hips,
Soften your spine,
Soften your body a little bit into whatever is supporting you right now.
Next we're going to bring our left hand towards our right shoulder and we're going to bring our right hand to the outside of the left side of the chest.
We're going to feel that warmth of the hands against the body and notice the heartbeat in between.
Notice almost like you were giving your heart a little bit of a hug.
Now we can keep the hands here if that feels comfortable or you can let them fall down by the side or into the lap.
As we take three big exhales and we're going to use that exhale almost like it's blowing away any extra mental energy,
Blowing away any more of those thoughts that are still lurking around.
So I want you to take a deep inhale in through the nose and breathing out through the mouth.
Soften the shoulders a little bit for the next inhale deep into the belly.
Use the exhale to blow those thoughts away.
One more big one like this in through the nose all the way down into the base of the belly and exhale blowing any extra tension away.
And you can do a few more of those if it feels like you need.
You can move the body if it still feels like the body is a little bit restless.
You've got some extra energy that you just want to dispel.
But then we want to start to slow everything down,
Slow our movement to stillness,
Soften through the body and through the mind just a little bit more.
Soften through the body and through the mind just a little bit more.
It's totally fine if the mind has already been distracting you.
And we're now going to finish with just one minute of coherent breathing to bring our mind,
Body and heart back into sync.
So exhaling together and take an inhale,
Four,
Three,

One,
Exhale,

Inhale,

And letting the breath either keep this rhythm,
Either staying with this breath for as long as you need or letting the breath fall into whatever rhythm feels normal.
And letting the mind know that it's free to keep working.
We're just going to ask it to be a little less frantic and have a little bit more ease.
