Welcome to your guided meditation.
This is your time to pause,
To breathe and to return to yourself.
So get comfortable in a seated position of your choice,
With a tall,
Natural spine.
Rest your hands wherever they naturally fall.
And gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Breathe in through your nose and slowly out through your mouth.
Once more,
A deep inhale through your nose and a long,
Gentle exhale through your mouth.
And one last time,
Breathing in calm and breathing out everything you no longer need.
Now let your breath find its natural rhythm.
No need to change or control it.
Simply notice it moving in and out in its own time.
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
Bring your attention to where you feel your breath most vividly.
It might be the rise and the fall of your chest,
The gentle movement in your belly,
Or the soft air passing at the tip of your nose.
Wherever it feels most alive,
Let that be your calm point.
If your thoughts wander,
That's okay.
Each time you notice,
Gently come back to your calm point.
Return to the breath,
To this quiet space inside you.
With each breath,
Feel your body soften.
Your energy settles.
The noise quiets.
And underneath it all,
There is a steady calm waiting for you.
Stay here for a few more breaths.
Let this stillness refill you.
Now slowly bring your awareness back to your surroundings.
Notice the space around you,
The sounds,
The light,
The air.
Take one more slow,
Deep inhale.
And a long,
Easy exhale.
This calm stays with you.
It's always here,
Your quiet point within.
