This short meditation invites you to fully come into the present moment by inviting your awareness inward to be with your body and your breath and then to opening outward to hearing sounds at a distance and sounds close by and finally to open your eyes to all that you see and perceive around you. You're warmly invited to hold all of this in a warm mindful embrace as you enjoy the wondeful present moment for as long as you like. May you be happy, healthy and at peace.

Transcript

So this is a short meditation designed to help you relax and move more fully into the present moment.

Let yourself settle in comfortably and begin to bring your awareness to your body and your breath.

So start your relaxation by softening your face,

Relaxing your jaw muscles,

Your lips and your mouth.

Relax your shoulders.

Soften your chest.

Soften your tummy.

And bring your awareness to noticing your breath right at the tip of your nostrils.

Notice how the breath feels as it comes in,

Turns around and goes back out.

Noticing each breath.

The in breath,

The out breath,

And then the next breath.

Breathing in and breathing out.

Now hold the awareness of the breath,

Letting yourself be aware of breathing in and out.

And also begin to notice your body more clearly.

Be aware of your arms and your legs.

So noticing now the breath and your arms and your legs.

And now let yourself open to the sounds around you.

Perhaps noticing sounds at a distance.

Seeing sounds that are closer to you.

So aware of your breath,

Breathing.

Your arms and your legs.

And the sounds around you.

Enjoying.

Stay with your breath.

And then very gently let yourself open your eyes with a soft focus.

Just look around through the space around you.

Noticing what you see.

And then notice all of these sensations at the same time.

Be aware of your breathing and your arms and your legs.

And the sounds around you.

And what you're seeing.

Seeing all of these in your awareness,

Letting yourself rest in the present moment.

The wonderful present moment.

Stay here as long as you'd like.

Take care.
