So go ahead and just let yourself take some deep breaths in.
Let it be a deep breath in through the nose,
Out the mouth.
As you're taking those deep breaths in,
Just noticing how your body's feeling.
Has it taken breaths in like this today?
Maybe it's been a minute.
I'm just allowing yourself to notice that the breaths are likely the first time in a minute that your body's had a chance to relax,
A chance to let go.
So that's the sound of the bell.
Everything can begin.
So you just allow that breath to start to circulate through your body,
Relaxing your whole body.
You can feel the breaths move the shoulders down from the ears.
You can feel the breath relax and loosen your jaw.
You can feel the breath really loosen any tightening that might be happening in your brain.
You've been thinking a lot all day,
Using your brain.
It can be really the easiest place for us to step right back into.
So just giving the mind permission to rest,
To relax.
It's almost reminding yourself here too,
That you can give just a slight little smile to that face,
Like the very slightest amount of smile,
Cross over that face of yours and have just even a little smile allows your whole body to be reset for a moment.
Everything else existing in a different realm,
That smile bringing you here into your body in this moment.
And let your attention shift into your heart space.
Really allowing that heart of yours to know that you know just how much it holds.
It's almost as if we say to the heart here,
Heart,
We understand,
Heart,
We know.
So reminding that heart space that you're not here to deny it,
What it already feels.
It's allowed to feel what it feels.
You're here to allow it and still arrive in this present moment.
So just by that simple acknowledgement,
It's as though those emotions can be held in one hand and still we can arrive here now.
Taking a few deep breaths in and out of your heart.
Knowing that this heart space is so often what's pulling us to the past,
To the future and yet all it really craves to do is be right here,
Right now.
Give it a moment of that by breathing in and out from the heart as if the breath that you are bringing in the air is simply a gift for the heart.
As if your exhale is simply a release from the heart.
This heart of yours,
In any given moment we can shift our attention and just focus right in right here and let that be a moment of presence.
Our heart is always alive,
Beating in this very moment.
We can find ourselves here just giving a moment of thanks to the heart for beating right now for you,
For giving you life right now.
And sitting here focused in on your heart space,
This is a gateway to presence.
Breathe and be with your heart,
With each beat.
And any time you notice and find your mind strained,
That's fine,
Allow it to stray when you've noticed that you've strayed.
Great.
That's when you've woken up and you can shift your attention gently,
Kindly,
Compassionately,
Through back to your heartbeat,
To the breaths in and out of your heart.
That's what you need to know modality,
How to trustee bungee PAC,
Acid data,
Plum cold And the powerful gateway to presence is also this breath of yours.
So let yourself entirely now simply focus on breathing.
Breathing must happen in this moment.
It cannot happen in any other moment.
And when we are aware of our breath,
So similar to a wave crashing in the ocean,
There will always be another.
It always comes again so we always have a chance to bring ourselves back to our breath,
To the presence of our breath.
Your body knows how to breathe unconsciously.
And since it already knows what to do,
We don't have to overcomplicate.
We can simply allow our attention to rest on each breath and what it feels like to breathe in,
On what it feels like to breathe out,
On the soft,
Gentle ease with which breath comes through you,
With which the body already knows what to do.
And no matter where else you go,
No matter where else your mind wants to take you,
You can always begin again.
Allowing a new breath in this moment,
Allowing a new breath to carry you back to presence.
Allowing a new breath in this moment,
Allowing a new breath to carry you back to presence.
And just noticing,
Noticing what a gift it is to be breathing.
To have the power to shift our mind back to this gateway to presence,
To the power of the breath.
And it's in this space where you can take a moment and acknowledge the stillness within you.
We can acknowledge the power that this stillness,
The power that this presence can open portals to.
So as we acknowledge the space that we've given to our bodies,
We acknowledge the space we've created.
May we always remember that this breath,
That this heartbeat is yours.
You have power and access to it in any moment.
Start to breathe a little more deeply.
Just taking a deep breath in and out.
Before you bring full awareness back for the life around you,
May we create a bit of a bridge between this stillness and the rest of your day by remembering,
By knowing we're always connected here.
We can always listen in to the voice,
To the wisdom that comes in presence.
We can always listen in to the voice.
We can always listen in to the voice.
