Hello and good morning Today I'll be leading my first guided meditation So bear with me and this is going to be very beginner friendly So I'll try to explain everything and guide you through it Meditation is a very powerful tool in training the mind tapping into your consciousness and Knowing the difference between awareness and attention So,
Let's take a comfortable seat I'm sitting on a zafu cushion.
You can get these on Amazon But pillows or the ground or even the bed will work just fine In your comfortable seat I like to cross my legs Feel free to keep them keep your feet on the ground knees bent Whatever makes you feel comfortable here Now straighten the spine and lengthen through Settle in here and feel your posture fill your seat Fill your seat line up your sitting bones With your spine Feel the earth I also feel the tip of your head Take a deep breath in The relaxing breath out Inhale breathe in relaxation Exhale any tension you might be carrying in your body for me.
It's my shoulders And just notice notice the breath Notice the sensations that arise Maybe it's at the tip of your nose Notice where the breath travels to maybe it's your stomach maybe through the lungs Just try to stay with the breath this is your this is your meditation object And just try to stay with the breath this is your this is your meditation object Maybe your mind starts to wander just catch yourself thinking It's okay to think and just keep going Maybe your mind starts to wander just catch yourself thinking it's okay to think and just recognize the thought itself Slowly coming back to the breath letting it go While keeping attention on the breath Maybe pay attention to the sounds what do you hear Pay attention to your skin and your body maybe there's a wind breeze maybe it's a cooling sensation on your body Maybe there's a wind breeze maybe it's a cooling sensation on your skin Just notice what it feels to be alive And with the next breath start to bring awareness back into your body Maybe your feet making contact with the ground Letting go of any tension once again your shoulders on your hips anywhere in your body Start to blink your eyes open if they were closed Just notice your surroundings Let's take a minute to just feel gratitude for this breath and this body and working lungs So much of the time we take things for granted and especially in the society Where our attention is always being hijacked is just so grounding to take a minute And that concludes my session May you be safe may you be happy and may this practice be with you Cheers and have a wonderful day
