And let's begin.
This meditation can be used as a reset after a meeting,
A project,
In the middle of your day,
Just an in-between to bring your attention back to your body,
Back to your breath,
Allowing you to recenter.
So maybe find a comfortable space.
You can sit,
You can lie down,
Just find a space where you can relax and close your eyes.
You may begin to notice what's going on around you and what's going on inside you.
You might place one palm on your heart center and the other palm on your lower belly.
This may help to connect you deeper to your breath.
And we'll do three deep breaths together.
So with your eyes closed,
Your mouth closed,
But your jaw soft,
Breathing through your nose,
Inhale,
Pause,
And exhale.
And two more,
Deep breath in,
Pause,
And out.
Just one ear,
Deep breath,
Inhale through the nose and exhale through the nose.
Breathing deeply like this allows you to slow down,
Brings more focus to your body.
Having your palms where they are allows you to connect with your inhales,
With your exhales.
So just keep breathing.
And we'll do a quick body scan.
So as you breathe,
Draw your attention down to your feet,
Soles of your feet.
They might be rooted to the floor,
You're grounded,
And allow that energy to draw up the soles of your feet to your ankles,
Your lower legs,
Upper leg,
Hips,
Belly,
Torso,
Chest and shoulders,
Arms and hands,
Up to the crown of your head.
Breathing here,
Feeling your body,
Slowing everything down,
Allowing you to reset.
Thoughts may still be going on,
And that's okay.
Just become an observer to your thoughts.
See them,
Feel them,
And let them go.
And as you breathe,
You may feel that this is a good time to create an affirmation going forward to your day,
An I am statement,
A present statement.
If something naturally arises,
Really feel it.
Allow that good feeling to flourish.
Hold onto it for as long as you can.
And if an affirmation doesn't come your way,
That's okay.
Just keep breathing.
And now I'll start to end the meditation,
So taking one more deep breath in and out.
You can start stretching slowly,
Moving your fingers,
Your toes.
And whenever you're ready,
You can open your eyes.
