Transcript

Welcome to our centering meditation.

I invite you to arrive in your body and sense the weight of your body connecting with the earth beneath you,

Allowing the weight of your body to transfer to the earth.

Soften your gaze or close your eyes and bring your awareness to your breath.

Notice your breath at the tips of your nostrils,

The coolness of the inhale,

And the warmth of the exhale.

Notice the smoothness of your breath.

In your own way,

Invite in an even rhythm with each inhale and each exhale,

Inviting the breath to become consistent,

Even,

And smooth.

Breathing in this way,

Bring your awareness to the space between your eyebrows.

Rest your awareness there and experience smooth,

Even,

Balancing breaths,

The space between the eyebrows.

Bring awareness to the center of your throat.

Resting your awareness there,

Experience smooth,

Even,

Balancing breaths at the center of the throat.

Bring awareness to the heart center,

Resting your awareness there.

Experience smooth,

Even,

Balancing breaths at the center of the heart.

Rest your awareness at the heart center for one minute,

Smooth,

Even,

Consistent breaths at the heart center.

Smooth,

Even,

Consistent breaths at the center of the heart center.

When you are ready to complete your practice,

Begin to notice the quality of your breath,

The quality of the energy in your body.

You can begin to rub your hands together,

Building some heat between the palms.

You can place them over your heart,

Touching into this place of love and compassion.

Experience a full inhale and exhale.

Gently open your eyes and welcome yourself back into your space.
