Good morning.
Well done for showing up for yourself.
However you slept however you're feeling right now.
You're here.
And that's the most important thing Find a comfortable position.
Wherever you are.
You can close your eyes or soften your gaze downward if that feels better either sitting.
.
.
Or lying down.
Take a moment now.
To get comfortable Let's start by checking in.
How does your body feel this morning?
Just notice,
There's no need to change anything.
How are you feeling emotionally?
Whatever's there is allowed to be there.
And what about your mind?
Busy,
Quiet,
Somewhere in between.
Just notice that too This noticing is most of what meditation actually is.
You're not forcing anything to be different but you're trying to get a little more familiar with what's already there As we continue,
You'll probably find your thoughts start to wander.
That's completely normal.
And not a sign that you're doing anything wrong.
Every single time you notice your mind has drifted Gently bring your attention back to your breath.
The moment of noticing and returning is the practice of meditation.
And the more you do it,
The easier it becomes If it helps,
Picture your thoughts as clouds passing overhead.
You don't need to chase them or push them away.
Simply let them drift through.
Now let's bring some attention to the breath Breathing in slowly through your nose,
Filling your belly rather than your chest,
And breathing out through your mouth,
A little longer than your inhale.
Let's do 5 of those together.
Breathing in.
.
.
And out.
In.
And out.
In.
And out.
In.
And out.
In.
And out.
Now continue at your own pace for a few more rounds.
Now let's set a few small intentions for the day ahead.
Think of one thing you're grateful for this morning one thing you want to focus on today and one thing you'd like to receive today.
Whether from other people,
Yourself.
Or life in general.
Take one more deep breath in.
And let it go.
Bring your attention back to your body.
And the room around you.
Gently stretching and inviting some movement back into the body.
Well done for taking the time for yourself this morning.
This is the practice Have a wonderful day.
