Welcome, My name is Danielle. Today's practice is a short meditation to release stress from the past, Fear and uncertainty of the future, And to receive freedom in the present moment. It's time to make yourself comfortable. Find a place to sit down with a small pillow or a cushion beneath you. Lean up against a wall if you'd like or even sit in a chair. Check your alignment. Your ears should be over your shoulders and your shoulders over your hips. Now close your eyes. Softly relax the eyes. Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Do that a few more times and you can roll your shoulders up to your ears slowly and down in both directions. It's time to begin. Start by feeling your breath. Notice your inhalation and your exhalation. Simply notice the breath come in and out. Notice the breath in and out. Now follow your breath. Watch it enter the tip of your nose and move down into your lungs. Watch the breath exit back out. Watch the breath come in through the nose, Down to the bottom of the lungs and all the way up to the top and exiting back out down to the bottom of the lungs. Start to notice the length of the inhalation and the exhalation. Let the breath out be a little longer than the inhalation. Feel your body receive the breath. Start to notice the front of the body, The back of the body and the sides of the body. Feel how the breath is expanding into these spaces of the body. Feel how the body is softening on the exhalations, Expanding on the inhalations. Fully present in the here and now, In the body and the mind, Watching the breath. Breathe in and feel calm. Breathe out and feel peace. In, Calming, Out, Peace. Simply breathing in and out. Feel yourself releasing tension as you invite peace into your being. Breathing in and out, Releasing tension, Inviting peace into your being. Peace and calm. Continue with this process from the beginning. Notice your breath. Watch your breath. Be aware of your body. Notice where you feel the breath in your body. Feel a sense of peace and happiness in the present. Not in the future, Not in the past, In the here and now. As you watch the breath and feel peace in the present moment, Notice if there's any painful feelings or emotions that start to come up for you. Try not to push them away. Allow yourself to notice them rising. Recognize any painful feelings or emotions. Embracing those feelings as you hold them close, As you let peace and calm embrace the uneasy feelings or emotions. Welcome in those feelings of peace as you embrace any discomfort at all. Continue to watch the breath, To be aware of your body, And notice any feelings that come up for you. Feel your aura fill with peace and calm, Embracing any emotions. You can stay here for a few more minutes, Continuing with the process. Continue to find freedom in the present moment. Namaste.
