Mindfulness opens the question that, maybe we don't find heaven in the afterlife. Instead, maybe we have to come alive in this lifetime to realise that Heaven is right here, within you and on this earth all the time.

This simple breath awareness practice will bring you in to a soft sense fo presence and awaken acceptance for the breauty of each moment, a reminder that everything you seek is right here.

Finding a sense of grounding where you are, Whether that's on a chair, On the floor or laying down somewhere. Notice the points of contact between your body and your support and see if you can give your body into that support just 1% more so you really connect with that feeling of being held here. Lengthen your spine so your body is relaxed but still alert. Soften your shoulders and if you'd like to then close your eyes. And we'll start our meditation just by tuning into your breathing as it is now. As you inhale mentally say the words I am breathing in. And as you exhale mentally say the words I am breathing out. I am breathing in. I am breathing out. I am breathing in. I am breathing out. And continue that pattern as you inhale and exhale. This exercise helps to bring your mind into the present moment out of your head and into your body. So often our mind and body are disconnected. You see our minds are often stuck in the future or in the past. Rarely are we in the present but your body is always living in the present moment. Always taking action in the now and doing what's best for you. And to journey from your mind being stuck in past or future to come into the present. Tap into that. We have to disconnect and reconnect to your body. Into feeling into the now. So keep doing that. Keep your rhythm of I am breathing in. I am breathing out. Feeling any sensations in your body as you do so. The more we start to tap into presence. The more you realise that everything is perfect. In this moment it's all perfect. You have a body that's working for you to keep you here alive. You have an earth that's keeping you held up. Surrounding is keeping you safe. Everything you need is right here. And as we go from mind into body and connect within. You can connect deeply with all that you seek. The love that you seek is within you. The light you seek is in within you. The acceptance. The trust. The support. It's all right here. We connect to that the more we connect to presence. The more you connect to that the more you start to live from that space. And we start to realise that heaven is right here. Everything is perfect. Start to realise the wonders within you. Every single cell of you. And you tap into the wonders of the earth that we live in. The wonders of nature. Of earth. Of other beings around you. The ones you love. Heaven is here. In mindfulness and in Buddhist teachings they teach that when you realise heaven is here you realise that we don't die to go to heaven. You have to become alive to see it. And that's what happens the more we meditate and the more we connect to presence. So just take this next couple of minutes to connect deeply with presence inside of you and into this moment. Continuing with the exercise of reciting the words in your head I am breathing in and I am breathing out. Just tapping into presence as often as you can. As in when your mind does wonder. Come back with the next I am breathing in and I am breathing out. Peace and reminders. You you you If your mind has wandered come back to your breathing Feel into your body Notice how your body feels here now any space Any areas of tension you can maybe start to invite relaxation to? Come back to your breathing Come back to that sense of support beneath you And before we close our meditation and before you open your eyes just Reaffirm and set the intention to connect to presence and come back to you as often as you can To realize the wonders within you and the wonders of the world that we live in To come alive to realize that everything you seek is already here Whenever you're ready to start to open your eyes Enjoy the rest of your day and take care
