Transcript

Allow your eyes to comfortably close Come down into your body's weight and volume And the movements your body makes as you breathe Breathe out down the full length of your body Allowing your body to release what it's been holding In your own time Notice your body making contact with the surface directly beneath it Notice the surface is steady Notice the steadiness is there for you now Notice the ground meeting your body's weight through the steadiness Steady solid ground Sense the ground spreading way out to either side of you Into the distance One vast steadiness Here with you now Let it support you Allow your breath to slow down and lengthen As you do so Become aware of the sensation as air enters and leaves your nostrils Notice the air is cool as it enters Warm as it leaves Notice the movements your body makes as you breathe The expansion of the in-breath The release of the out Notice your breathing in from the space around you And out into it And become aware of the touch of the air on your face and body Let it be there Let everything be there If a part of you is needing to get anything right Let that part of you soften and sit back Breathe out needing to get anything right If a part of you is wanting things to be a certain way Let that part of you soften and sit back Breathe out wanting things to be a certain way If a part of you is waiting to do the next thing Let that part of you soften and sit back Breathe out waiting to do the next thing If a part of you is watching out for something to happen Let that part of you soften and sit back Breathe out watching for something to happen Allow yourself to sit back into the centre of this moment here The steady support directly beneath you Your breath ebbing and flowing The air touching your face and body And allow yourself to just be for a while When you are ready,

Become aware of the ebb and flow of your breath Notice the sensation as air enters your nostrils and leaves Notice the movements your body makes as you breathe The expansion of the in The release of the out Notice the contact your body is making with the surface directly beneath it Notice the surface is steady Breathe the steadiness up into your body Let it steady you Notice your breathing in from the space around you And out into it Notice you're here in this moment And in your own way,

Your own time You can draw this meditation to a close

Worked for me. Thanks

Thank you for your beautiful guidance 🙏 This practice helped me reconnecting to the essential.

Excellent direction and I loved the parts work . Asking them to rest was very helpful.

Lovely and deeply relaxing—I really found this helpful today. Thank you so much, Linda. 🙏🏻💚

Perfect for me this morning Linda. Thank you so much for your comforting words. 🙏🕊💜

Sending you vibes full of love and peace 🧡🧡🧡

I am so grateful for this simple meditation today. I have felt dark and at a loss here in Southern California with the wildfires, wind and power outages. Now I feel some relief and stability.
🙏 Thank you

This was perfect for calming my anxiety. The past couple of weeks have been more difficult to relax mentally for me and I really doubted that I could stay still long enough to do this meditation. I was wrong. Your approach is always soothing and helpful. Thank you for helping me find my calmness in this space. 🕊️💜🫶🪷🧘🏼‍♂️🙂🙏🏻🪐

Relaxing and soporific. Thanks Linda, all your meditations arexa balm for the anxious mind and dysregulsted nervous system.
🙏

Another gem, Linda, though doing the breathing when you have a rather ferocious and persistent cold is a challenge. I do my best. I am always happy when I see a new meditation from you come up on IT. I know you have your own site but I have been a part of the IT community since the early days and like being here.

A beautiful and deeply relaxing meditation, thank you Linda. It felt very circular how you returned to noticing if there was anything to let go of, both at the beginning and end of the meditation. I really enjoyed this! Thank you so much for a wonderful start to my day 🙏
