Welcome to Simply Meditation.
Let's begin today's meditation with finding a nice comfortable seat,
Moving around,
Releasing tension,
And finding that sweet spot that you can settle into for the next few minutes.
You'll know when you find the right placement because there's going to be a release in your body,
A place where you can breathe just a little bit deeper,
A place where you feel connected to your physical form,
Maybe in a way that you haven't felt before.
You'll be able to isolate the feeling from the top of your head to the lobes of your ears.
You can focus in on the hairs on the back of your neck,
The slow relaxation of your shoulders drawing down your back.
Feel the flow of energy down to the insides of your elbows,
All the way to the palms of your hands.
Turn your palms upward so that you can receive new energy as you release the old.
Bring your mindful awareness to your chest and belly and feel a slow energy moving downwards into the earth supporting you.
Relax fully into your body from your hips to your thighs and down your legs into the very tips of your toes.
Notice your heel firmly connected with the ground below.
As you have a gentle melting into your body and into the earth,
Relax into the present moment.
Thank yourself for taking this time to connect with your being,
Mind,
Body,
And soul.
You have brought all three into this moment.
Taking a deep breath in through your nose,
Fill your lungs,
And then fill them a little bit more before releasing the air.
Empty out fully.
Let's repeat that again.
Taking a deep breath through your nose,
Fill your lungs as far as they will go,
And then breathe in just a little bit more.
As you exhale,
Empty out your lungs completely and then empty them a little bit more.
Doing this exercise,
This stretching of your lungs and of your control over your breathing works many muscles in your body,
In your mind.
It brings you into the present moment completely and allows you to create a sacred space in which to live.
Breathing can be both voluntary and involuntary.
As we connect with our breath and the control that we have over our breathing,
We realize that we can create this quiet,
We realize that we can create this quiet moment at any point in our day.
When we are feeling stretched to our limit,
We can choose to stretch just a little bit further before gently releasing that energy.
We are able to go into this state of peace and quiet and control at any point in our day.
We are able to step away from anything that could be causing us stress and remind ourselves to connect with the present moment,
To connect with our breath,
To connect with our body.
Gently bring your awareness,
Your attention to the tops of your feet.
Draw in energy from the earth supporting you and bring it up the front of your legs to the tops of your knees.
Swirl the energy around before bringing it up your thighs and into your pelvic area.
Take a deep breath in and release.
Bring your attention and the energy up into your abdomen,
Filling your lungs again and releasing before bringing your energy up into your heart space,
Swirling it around your heart and your lungs,
Expanding it to fully engulf your diaphragm and your collarbone,
Spreading it out down your arms and up into your neck,
Your chin,
Your face,
Around under your ears and up the back of your head.
Take a final moment connecting with your entire body,
Your entire being.
And when you feel ready,
Open your eyes and go about your day.
I wish you peace in every moment.
Namaste.
