Transcript

Thank you for joining me in this morning mindfulness meditation.

While this meditation is especially helpful in the morning,

It is suitable for all times.

Please keep your eyes open in this meditation experience.

Come to a comfortable seated position.

And let's take three deep full breaths.

Inhaling through the nose.

Exhaling through the mouth.

Two more times.

As you breathe slowly and deeply,

Maybe you begin to gaze around yourself.

Be mindful about the objects around you and the people around you.

Keep bringing awareness to your breath.

Begin to feel the sensation of your clothes on your skin.

Just noticing the sensations created by the fabric.

How your top feels.

How your bottoms feel.

You can touch the fabric,

Bringing in tactile awareness.

Exploring sensations that are maybe soft or rough.

Now please slowly rise to standing.

Beginning to stretch,

Reaching your hands up way high.

Using your muscles,

Noticing how your skeleton supports you.

Bring your awareness to the floor beneath your feet.

Wiggling your toes and your shoes and your socks.

Become aware of how good you are at balancing.

Standing upright.

Walking.

How you do this all the time.

And if you'd like,

You can take a moment to gather your thoughts on the task ahead of you and remember the goals you have chosen mindfully for the day.

Imagine those tasks unfolding successfully.

You're hoping for a positive,

Spiritually connected day.

Again,

Reach your hands to the sky with a deep inhale.

As you exhale,

Allow them to relax or give yourself a gentle hug.

When you are ready,

Refind your comfortable seated position.

Feel into your physical body,

Noticing any shift in energy.

Utilizing any energy created,

You can now concentrate on your day mindfully to achieve any task necessary as you move throughout your day.
