Hello and welcome to today's meditation.
My name is Joy.
Today's theme is compassion.
Let's become comfortable here now adjusting the posture as needed to experience this relaxing meditation.
Take a moment now to just settle and relax.
Close the eyes.
One of the beautiful benefits of meditation is feeling the sense of compassion grow within.
Compassion is defined as the feeling that arises when you're confronted with another's suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering.
Give,
Be kind,
Be caring.
I am here for you and I see you.
Is compassion.
Bring these thoughts and emotions into your meditation today with compassion.
Just bring your attention now to your breath.
Just observing,
Not judging,
Not forcing.
Just be with the breath,
The in breath and the out breath.
Observe the flow of the breath.
Take three deep breaths in and out allowing yourself to relax more and more on each exhale.
Return your breathing to its natural rhythm as you naturally relax.
Bring yourself into the present moment.
Allow the past to be the past,
The future to be the future.
Know you are safe in this moment right now.
Bring your awareness to the top of your head and allow relaxation to cascade down your face.
Allow your eyes to become heavy.
Relax your cheeks and your jaw.
Allow your tongue to find its place resting on the roof of the mouth.
Drop the shoulders and allow them to fall away from the neck.
Relax the arms and hands.
Return your focus to the breath and notice the rise and fall of the chest with each inhale and each exhale.
If any thoughts or feelings arise,
Just return your attention to your breath.
Allow for relaxation in the belly and the hips.
Feel yourself fully supported as you melt into the surface below and relaxation now flows down through the legs all the way to the feet.
Feeling deeply relaxed as if you're wrapped in a warm blanket of relaxation.
Continue to focus on the breath in this deep state of relaxation as you now relax into the breath and the intention of compassion.
Compassion for yourself and compassion for others.
Give,
Be kind,
Be caring.
I am here for you and I see you.
Feel into this feeling of compassion with the relaxing,
Loving energy of your breath as you breathe into your heart space.
Continue to breathe in and breathe out into this space now.
Gently begin to bring yourself back into the room,
Moving the fingers and toes and take with you today the feelings of compassion and when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
