Welcome.
This time is just for you.
A space to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
Appreciating this moment right now.
Find a comfortable position.
And if it's safe to do so,
Gently close down your eyes or soften your gaze.
Taking a slow breath in through your nose and gently out through your mouth.
Allowing your shoulders to soften and your breath to return to its natural rhythm.
Relaxing your jaw.
And allowing your body to settle.
Bring your awareness to your birth.
Notice the gentle rise and fall of your body as you breathe in.
And out.
Now gently bring to your mind one thing you're grateful for today.
Something simple.
Maybe it's the sunshine.
Maybe it's the sound of the birds.
Maybe it was your warm cup of tea or coffee this morning.
Your favourite drink.
Maybe someone you love.
Or simply the opportunity to wake up and experience another day.
Whatever the first thing is that comes to your mind,
Allow it to be enough.
Take a moment to really feel the appreciation and gratitude for this one thing.
Allow yourself to really acknowledge it.
Feel it in your body,
The gratitude that flows over you.
And through you and within you when you think of this one thing.
Maybe placing your hand on your heart.
Bringing a smile to your face and really allow your body to feel this moment of gratitude.
And perhaps carrying this feeling with you into the rest of your day.
Allowing yourself to notice the simple things.
All of the little moments and the beauty in every day.
Because there's always something that we can pause for a moment.
And be appreciative of.
Taking one more gentle breath in and slowly releasing.
Begin to bring your awareness back to your body.
Gently moving your fingers and your toes,
And when you're ready,
Softly opening your eyes.
Taking this moment of gratitude with you and remember sometimes the most beautiful things in life are right in front of us.
Sometimes we simply need to take a moment to pause and notice them.
Have the most magical day.
