Hey,
How's it going?
Welcome,
Welcome,
Welcome.
Today we'll be practicing an awareness-based meditation.
So wherever you are,
Whatever time it is,
Just go ahead and take a few seconds to drop into your body,
To arrive mentally in the present moment.
Start to deepen your breath.
Perhaps your eyes gently close.
Anything you need to do to help facilitate turning inward.
I invite you to bring your attention now to the soles of your feet.
With an inhale,
Bring that attention to your ankles.
On your next inhale,
Attention towards your shins,
Your calves,
The backs of your lower legs.
With another inhale,
Your focus goes to your knees,
Your thighs,
Your hips,
Your low back.
Big inhale,
Breathe up your spine,
Create space.
Tension is now on your shoulders.
Bring your attention to your arms,
Your wrists,
Your hands,
Your fingers.
Breathe this attention now to your chest,
Your neck,
Your jaw,
Your face,
And your head.
Now bring your attention to your entire body.
See yourself.
Send yourself a little bit of love and gratitude,
Appreciation,
Reverence,
For everything that it allows you to do every single day.
So many systems working perfectly,
Thanklessly.
In this moment,
Stop,
Drop,
And feel.
Tap into your senses.
Allow yourself to observe and listen to your body.
It's pretty rare today.
Your observations point to an experience.
But these observations are not the experience.
This is important.
Take a big inhale.
Stop,
Drop,
And feel.
Feel the rhythm of your breath.
Feel your feet,
Your hips,
Your shoulders,
Your face.
Feel your neck.
Feel your heart.
Feel your energy.
Where is it?
Stop,
Drop,
And feel.
Drop into your body.
Drop into your breath.
Drop into the present moment.
If you get distracted,
That's okay.
When you notice your distraction,
That's when you're present.
So if only as an experiment right now,
See if you can draw yourself back into your senses.
Feel them.
Notice them.
Maybe even say,
I see you.
I feel you.
I get it.
I'm listening.
Take a big breath in through your nose.
Fill up your lungs.
Feel your chest expand.
Feel the breath.
Stop,
Drop,
And feel.
Stay here as long as you like.
If you're ready to reintegrate back into the world,
Do so slowly,
Mindfully.
Take a deep breath in.
Take a deep breath out.
