Transcript

Hi,

I'm Laya.

Welcome to your day and welcome to this meditation.

Please take a moment to find a place where you can perhaps sit down or lie down,

But make yourself as comfortable as you possibly can.

Find a position in which your body can relax a little and perhaps allow your eyes to close or simply soften your gaze if that's more comfortable for you.

Please take a moment to notice your surroundings as you arrive into this meditation and into this day.

What sounds can you hear?

Notice the temperature of the place that you're in,

Whether you're indoors or outdoors.

What do you see if your eyes are open?

What shadows and what lights do you see if your eyes are closed?

What is the taste in your mouth?

Take a deep breath in through your nose.

Fill up your belly,

Your rib cage,

Your chest.

Open your mouth and slowly let all the air out.

Again,

Deep inhalation through your nose.

Long exhalation through your nose or your mouth.

One more deep breath in through your nose.

Open your mouth and perhaps side out.

Just start to notice how you feel.

What sounds in your physical body?

Perhaps some of the sensations are familiar.

Perhaps some of the sensations are unusual.

Either way,

Just take a moment to notice what you notice.

Move your attention throughout the body.

Not placing too much importance or attention to anything in particular.

Just observe.

Start to perhaps also notice how it is that you are observing yourself.

What kind of words are you using to describe or judge whatever is going on in your body.

What stories your mind is creating around these familiar or new sensations.

Start to take a step back from your thoughts.

Give yourself permission to know that you are not the thoughts,

That you can observe them and only give them as much importance as you want to give them.

There's no one thought more important than the other at this moment.

Let them pass by.

As you begin to once again connect with your breath.

Exhaling through your nose and exhaling through your nose or mouth.

Start to find a rhythm of breath that is sustainable for you.

Then follow that rhythm of breath with the outmost presence.

As you notice how you feel physically,

Mentally,

Emotionally,

Perhaps even energetically.

We'll begin our affirmations.

Sometimes you'd like to repeat them after me out loud.

Perhaps you'd rather repeat them internally.

Take a deep breath in through your nose.

Let it go.

Take a deep breath in through your nose,

Fill up front to back,

Side to side,

Top to bottom.

Let it all go.

Bring your palms together in front of your heart in a prayer position if that resonates with you and gently bow your head in gratitude for this moment,

For this day,

For this opportunity before you to make choices that nourish your soul and your life.

Thank you so much.

Be well.

Thank you for holding the space to notice before starting my day. The affirmations felt good to say. Thank you Laia for this meditation 💚🥰

Thank you 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

That was incredible! Exactly what I needed. 🙏Bookmarked! 🙏☺️

Perfect for a quick psychological tuning up first thing!
Congratulations for using the nouns ‘inhalation’ and ‘exhalation’ correctly!! Such a relief. 👏🏼👏🏼 It’s a rare thing as most teachers incorrectly use the verb instead and say “take an inhale” and “…let your exhale be long…”
😆
Thank you 🙏🏼🦋💙

This was so what I needed, and she even got me to be present! That is quite a feat!

Thank You Laia for a nourishing meditation. I enjoyed the experience of repeating the affirmations three times - it allowed me to individually resonate with them more deeply. Thank You.. Thank You.. Thank You ✨✨🙏🏼
