Welcome.
I'm so grateful you're here.
Today we're going to explore something simple yet powerful.
And that's the awareness of your breath.
You don't need any special skills or experience.
Just the willingness to show up for yourself in this moment.
There's no right or wrong way to do this.
And it's completely okay if your mind wanders.
Meditation isn't about perfection.
It's about being present.
Let's begin.
Try to find a comfortable position.
Perhaps a chair.
Sitting on a cushion.
Or the floor.
Let your shoulders relax in this position.
And your hands rest naturally.
And gently close your eyes or lower your gaze.
Whichever feels better.
We're going to start by taking a deep breath in.
And slowly exhaling out.
Now let your breathing return to its natural rhythm.
And just notice the sensation of air entering and leaving your body.
Feel the support beneath you.
The ground.
The cushion.
Or the chair.
And let yourself fully arrive in this moment.
Take a moment to notice.
Is your breath shallow?
Or deep?
Are you breathing fast?
Or slow?
There's no need to judge it.
Simply observe.
Let it be as it is.
Your mind begins to wander.
That's perfectly okay.
Gently guide your attention back to your breath.
As if you're returning to a safe and familiar place.
Notice how your breath feels in your nose.
As you breathe.
How it feels in your chest.
Or your belly.
Where do you feel it most?
With each breath.
Try to invite a sense of calm into your body.
Imagine your breath softening.
Any tension you might be holding.
You might ask yourself.
What does it feel like to simply breathe and be here right now?
Now let's take a moment to reflect.
How does your body feel compared to when we began?
Do you notice anything about your mind or your emotions?
What do you notice?
There's really no need to fix or change anything.
Just allow yourself to be here.
Exactly as you are.
With each breath.
Remind yourself that this practice of awareness.
Is always here for you.
Whenever you need to find your center.
Your breath can guide you back to the present moment.
Now let's take one final deep breath together.
Breathe in fully.
And exhale slowly.
When you're ready.
Gently wiggle your fingers.
Or your toes.
Bringing movement back into your body.
Slowly open your eyes.
Or lift your gaze.
You've just taken a moment to reconnect with yourself.
Through your breath.
Take this feeling of presence with you.
As you move for the rest of your day.
