Welcome to The Daily Insight.
My name is Linda Hall and I'm a teacher here on Insight Timer.
Today's meditation will help to alleviate stress and restore your overall balance,
Using a combination of practices including mindfulness,
Grounding,
And breathing.
Allow your eyes to comfortably close.
Come away from your thoughts and breathe out in a long sigh.
As you do so,
Allow your body to release what it's bought with it here and no longer needs to carry.
In your own time,
Become aware of the sensation as air enters your nostrils and leaves,
And the movements of your body as you breathe,
The expansion of the in,
The release of the out.
Come down into your body's weight.
Notice the support beneath it is steady.
Sit back onto the steadiness.
Breathe down to the steadiness.
Breathe up from the steadiness.
Let it steady you.
Sense the horizon spreading out all around you.
You have all of this space for you.
Take as much as you need.
In your own time,
Notice if you're wanting things to be a certain way.
Breathe out wanting things to be a certain way.
Notice if you're waiting for the next thing to happen.
Breathe out waiting for the next thing to happen.
Notice if you're watching yourself closely.
Breathe out watching yourself closely.
Allow your attitude to yourself to become kinder.
Let yourself know it's completely okay to be exactly as you are right now.
In your own time,
Notice the support beneath your body,
Becoming aware of the ebb and flow of your breath and say the affirmation,
All is well.
When you are ready,
You can draw this meditation to a close.
