Let's begin this meditation with a deep breath in through your nose.
Open your mouth and sigh it out.
Close your mouth,
Adjust your posture,
And continue slow cycles of breath.
In through the nose and out through the mouth.
This meditation is designed to help you regain focus.
Our world is designed to pull your mind in so many different directions.
Notifications and to-do lists and stray thoughts will catch us off guard and pull us away from the present moment.
But you are in control.
You are in control of where you place your attention.
You tell your mind what to focus on.
As you continue this meditation,
Focus on your breathing.
Take the next minute or so to listen to the sound of your breath to feel where the air is moving throughout your body.
Focus on your breathing.
If you find yourself distracted by stray thoughts or your to-do list,
That's okay.
Regard these thoughts like a passing cloud in the sky.
Acknowledge them,
See them for what they are,
And then take back control,
Once again focusing on your breathing.
You are in control.
You are focused.
And for the next minute or so,
You are focused on your breathing.
On your next breath,
Shift your focus to your body.
Feel your body and where it sits in space.
Where are you making contact with your chair,
The floor,
Or the ground beneath you?
Where are you making contact with another part of your body?
Where in your body can you locate and release tension?
Take the next minute or so to focus on your body,
To feel where you are.
Once again,
If stray thoughts or your to-do list distract you,
Regard these thoughts like a passing cloud in the sky.
You are in control.
You are focused.
Right now,
In this moment,
You are focused on your body.
On your next breath,
Shift your focus back to your breathing.
I will be closing out this meditation,
But if you still need more time,
Continue to focus on your breathing.
Listen to the sound of your breath to feel where air is moving throughout your body.
Focus on your breathing.
And if at any time today you feel unfocused or distracted,
Come back to your breath.
Focus on your breathing.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
I hope you have a wonderful,
Joyful day.
