Transcript

Welcome to this Calm Your Mind,

Open Your Heart meditation.

I'm Victoria,

And for this short guided meditation we will read a passage from Thich Nhat Hanh's book How to Relax.

This is called the Resting Poem.

At any moment we can say this small poem to ourselves and take a mini rest.

This poem is like a tiny vacation except that it brings you back to your true home instead of taking you away from it.

It goes like this.

Breathing in,

I know I am breathing in.

Breathing out,

I know I am breathing out.

Breathing in,

I know I am breathing in.

Breathing out,

I know I am breathing out.

You can even shorten this poem.

It works just as well.

In,

Out.

I invite you throughout your day today to bring your awareness back to your breath and rest in a tiny vacation as you know that you are breathing in and breathing out.

Have a wonderful day!
