Hello and welcome to this guided meditation.
Please find your most comfortable position,
Either sitting,
Standing,
Or laying down.
Hands can rest lightly on your knees or by your side.
If it feels right and if you're in a safe environment to do so,
Not while driving,
I invite you to gently close your eyes as we begin a guided counted breath.
We will inhale for the count of four and exhale for the count of eight and we'll do that four times.
To begin drinking in our first deep breath and exhale completely.
And inhale for four,
Three,
Two,
One,
Exhale eight,
Seven,

Inhale four,

Exhale eight,

And one.
Returning to normal breath.
And begin to bring your awareness to the body and where you may be holding tension and allowing those places to soften with every exhale.
Relaxing the jaw,
Allowing the teeth to part while keeping the mouth closed.
Noticing the shoulders and the neck.
Giving yourself permission to relax,
Relaxing the shoulders down to the floor.
And we'll repeat some affirmations either silently into yourself or out loud if you're in a safe environment to do so.
I am safe.
I am calm.
I am at peace.
I am free.
I am joyous.
I am at ease.
And when you're ready,
I invite you to drink in another deep breath,
Inhaling deeply and exhaling completely.
And gently flutter the eyes open,
Coming back into the present moment.
Coming back to greet your day.
May you be joyous and at ease.
Namaste.
