Welcome to The Daily Insight.
My name is Linda Hall and I'm a teacher here on Insight Timer.
Today's meditation will help you to feel centered,
Calm and focused using a combination of practices including mindfulness,
Grounding,
Breath awareness,
Centering and affirmations.
Allow your eyes to comfortably close.
Notice the support beneath you is steady.
Sit back onto the steadiness.
Breathe out down to the steadiness.
Breathe up from the steadiness.
Let it steady you.
Become aware of the sensation as air enters and leaves your nostrils.
And the movements your body makes as you breathe.
Allow your breath to slow and lengthen in its own time.
Notice you are breathing in from the space around you and out into it.
Notice the touch of the air on your face and body.
And become aware of the alignment of your spine.
Connecting you with the sky above through the top of your head.
And the ground below through the base of your spine.
And sit back into the center of the present moment.
As if the center of this moment is a broad,
Wide,
Solid seat.
With sturdy legs and a strong back directly connected to the ground.
Lean back into its support.
Breathe its steady,
Solid energy into you.
Breathe it into your center.
Draw your energies back home to your center from where you lie scattered.
Draw yourself back in from in front of you.
Draw yourself back in from behind you.
Draw yourself back in from one side.
And now the other.
Breathe into your center.
And say the affirmations,
I am here.
I am safe.
And when you are ready,
You can draw this meditation to a close.
