Hello and welcome to this guided meditation session.
My name is Dr.
E and I will be your guide through this mindfulness practice.
If you regularly practice meditation or are new,
Take this time to enjoy this practice without judgment and let every experience be its own.
No reflection in meditation is the same,
So enjoy your unique experience.
This practice is dedicated to being present in the moment.
It is challenging to be present in the moment with all the thoughts that go in and out of our minds.
This meditation will help you observe yourself,
Visiting what enters your thoughts so that you can gain more clarity,
Receptivity,
And alertness through less mind clutter.
Let's begin.
Find a comfortable place where you won't be disturbed,
Your feet are planted firmly on the floor,
And you're sitting upright in a chair in a stable position where you're fully supported.
Your back,
Your neck,
And your head are straight.
Gently close your eyes and begin by just paying attention to how you're breathing,
Noticing any sensations that occur as you focus on your breath.
You might notice a sensation of cool air entering your nostrils,
In your rib cage,
In your abdomen expanding and contracting,
Warm air exiting your nostrils.
Just let yourself be observant without trying to change anything.
As you drop into being aware of the sensations of your breath,
You're allowing yourself to become more present in the moment.
There is also a deep wisdom waiting for you to access when you stay present as you're focusing on your breath.
Begin to feel that wisdom.
It's almost as if you can trust yourself to tap into who that is without thinking about it.
Instead,
You're just being.
In this moment,
Let yourself be.
Stay present with your breath,
Noticing the peace and calm that deeply enters your body.
You're beginning to notice the wisdom comes with being connected to your breath.
Stay present with your breath and let yourself feel into that expansiveness.
Let your feel those deep breaths knowing the connection to you and that how this connection helps you trust yourself and bringing you in to spend several moments just being present.
Know that you can't get this wrong when you let yourself be quiet and tap into who you really are and remaining present with your breath.
When you do this,
You enter a state of pure positivity,
Peace and self-awareness.
Continue to let yourself get deeper and deeper into that feeling by staying present with your breaths and knowing that you are not your thoughts.
You are much more.
When you let yourself sink into the peace of your breath,
You release your attachment to your thoughts and it allows yourself to be present with something deeper,
Something greater.
Continue breathing into that something greater.
Listen up to it.
Practice continual dropping into this presence you're now feeling for a whole moment.
Practice in this connection.
Notice how you feel more connected,
More present in the moment,
More aware of who you are and the connected peace that you're having from the inside.
Knowing how much more you're connected with your breath and knowing how you could stay more present with your breathing.
For your next inhale,
Let your breath deepen.
Breathing very deeply,
Letting your abdomen expand and hold it at the top.
When you're ready to exhale with a long,
Audible sigh,
Roll your shoulders,
Moving your hips from side to side.
Whenever you're ready,
Gently open your eyes and come back to the room around you.
