Welcome to your guided meditation.
Get comfortable in the seated position of your choice with a tall neutral spine.
Rest your hands wherever they naturally fall.
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Let's begin with three deep,
Slow breaths,
Just to settle into the body.
Inhale deeply into your belly.
Let it expand outward.
Into your chest.
Exhale slowly,
Feeling the long,
Gentle release.
Again,
Inhale deeply.
And exhale,
Letting the breath carry away some tension.
One more time,
A deep,
Nourishing inhale.
And a long,
Soft exhale.
Now let your breathing return to its natural rhythm.
No need to change it or control it.
Simply feel the body sitting here.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Out.
Let the breath anchor you in this present moment.
Soften your eyes.
Relax your face.
And clench your jaw.
Bring your awareness to your shoulders.
Notice whatever sensations are here.
And allow the shoulders to drop.
Let your arms grow heavy.
Your hands rest easily.
Finger soft.
And feel your hands for a moment.
Maybe there is pulsing.
Dangling.
Warmth.
Now bring your attention to your chest.
Breathe into this space.
Feel gentle opening and closing with each breath.
And let the area around your heart soften.
And the muscles of your upper back to release.
Move your awareness down to your belly and lower back.
Feel the belly rising and falling.
May it be so.
Shift your attention to your hips and pelvis.
Feel the lower body supported by the earth.
And let your legs feel heavy.
Relax.
All the way down into your feet.
And notice your feet.
Maybe tingling,
Warmth.
Coolness.
Pressure.
Numbness.
Nothing to change.
Simply noticing.
Now let your awareness widen.
Feel the whole body at once.
One body,
One field of sensation.
Vibrating.
Pulsing.
Dangling.
Pressure.
Warmth.
Whatever is here.
And rather than doing anything with it,
Simply rest with it.
Rest in being.
Being aware.
Ink still.
Being here.
Being now.
Being the witness.
Being silenced.
Be in the space.
And within that space.
Being enough.
Being peace.
Being loved.
Enjoy!
Nothing to become.
Nothing to fix.
Nothing to achieve.
Just this.
Just be.
Let's close by taking a deeper breath in.
And let it go with a sigh.
Once more in And out.
Feel your body.
The support beneath you.
We glue your fingers and toes.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
