Let's begin by grounding ourselves with three long deep breaths of gratitude and appreciation.
Inhale deeply through your nose,
Feeling your lungs expand.
Hold it for a moment.
Exhale slowly through your mouth,
Releasing any tension.
Foster the feeling of gratitude for this moment of mindfulness.
Go to your heart and give thanks.
Feel grateful for this moment of mindfulness.
Inhale deeply again,
Feeling your chest.
Hold gently.
Exhale slowly,
Letting go of any stress.
And as you release and let go,
Appreciate your presence in this moment.
One last breath in,
Drawing in calm energy.
Hold it briefly,
And then exhale fully,
Releasing all negativity.
Exactly where you are,
Begin to find comfort.
Move your body to a point where you are seated comfortably,
And then be still.
Close your eyes and take deep,
Calming breaths.
Place your hand on your heart,
Feeling its warmth and steady rhythm.
Focus on your breath.
Feel the sensation of air entering and leaving your body.
When your mind wanders,
Gently bring it back to the present moment.
No judgment,
Just gentle redirection.
Say to yourself,
I am here now,
I am safe.
Mindfulness is the practice of being present.
It helps us respond to triggers with compassion instead of reactivity.
Mindfulness can improve emotional regulation.
Let's end with three more deep breaths of gratitude and appreciation.
Inhale deeply,
Feeling grateful for this moment of mindfulness.
Hold it.
Exhale,
Releasing any tension.
Inhale again,
Appreciating your ability to be present.
Hold it.
Exhale,
Letting go of any stress.
One final breath in,
Feeling thankful for this practice.
Hold it.
Exhale,
Releasing all negativity.
Now gently open your eyes when you're ready.
