Welcome to this breathing meditation. Today we will focus on giving and receiving without expectations. I will guide you from the forest. I suggest you take a comfortable seat in front of me. And adjust your body to feel at ease. Gaze at me softly. Keep your eyes open but without effort. You may close them anytime you wish. Open your hand. And turn your palms up to give and receive. Rest them on your knees or thighs for comfort. Breathe slowly and let relaxation enter through your feet. You with each inhale. Draw energy upward. With each exhale. Release a burden. You Bye. We will explore together our relationship with giving and receiving with some questions. Am I a giver or a receiver? When I give How do I feel? Do I expect something back in return? Why do I give? What do I give? Is it difficult for me to give? From where do I give? Now as you continue your breath work and relaxation. Let's explore our relationship with receiving. How do I feel when I receive? Do I sense an obligation to give back? Who gives to me? What do I receive? Do I have an impression that I don't deserve? Do I expect people around me to give to me? Am I receptive when I receive? How do I react if I receive negativity in any form? How do I react when I receive positive gifts of all forms? Shift your awareness back to your open hands. From this mindful place. We can see how this lovely encounter with the chickadees parallels many parts of our lives. Giving comes from generosity, An open hand and heart. We can offer a smile. Calmness. A compliment. With the certainty that when the moment is right. We will receive kindness and love. From an unexpected visitor. Bye. Bye. Let us gently prepare to leave this sacred moment. By moving our feet. And bringing some movement back in our bodies. As we do so, Let's take profound breath. Receiving living fresh air. And giving back. Our exhalation. To nature.
