Now,

Allowing a deep breath in and breathe out slowly.

Let's begin the meditation by slowly stretching your body.

Allow yourself to sit in a comfortable position with your spine straight and your body relaxed.

Resting your palms gently on your laps and closing your eyes,

Taking a few deep cleansing breaths where we will breathe in deeply through the nose and breathe out slowly through the mouth.

Now,

Breathing in deeply through the nose,

Breathing out slowly through the mouth,

Breathing in deeply,

Breathing out slowly,

Breathing in deeply,

And breathing out releasing slowly.

Two more times,

Breathing in fully and breathing out slowly.

One last deep breath in and breathe out slowly and completely.

Now,

Bring your awareness into your breath and embrace the calmness,

Smiling with peace and welcoming the present moment with more relaxing natural rhythm of your breath.

Connecting with your body and observing how are you feeling right now.

As you become more aware of yourself,

Welcome more peace and calm,
