This is day one of your meditation journey.
So as you're getting settled in to get started with our first meditation together,
I just want to reiterate what you just listened to in the video before this.
All we're doing for the next few minutes together as we start our first meditation is just existing.
That's it.
All we're doing is just sitting together in this present moment,
Being with our breath,
Being with our body,
And most importantly,
Being with our mind,
Accepting the exact state of exactly what this present moment is for you,
Whether your mind is going crazy with thoughts or maybe on the flip side,
You're feeling a little bit calmer today,
A little bit more space in your mind,
Training ourselves to be in this present moment as a state of being.
So that's all we're doing,
Just start to get comfortable wherever you are.
Maybe you're seated,
Maybe you're lying down,
Keeping your eyes open,
Just starting to look around the space,
And then notice how you're breathing just right here right now.
Maybe you're taking short sips of air,
Maybe you're breathing with your chest,
Just together right here right now,
We're going to start to take the deepest inhales and exhales.
We're going to connect our mind with our body.
You might even notice your mind's already thinking about the way that you're breathing,
Just notice that.
Taking another deep inhale,
Breathing in through your nose,
Filling up your lungs,
And then releasing.
If you notice your mind is thinking about the way you're breathing,
Just bringing your attention back to what that sensation feels like,
That cool air as you inhale and the release as you exhale.
Maybe on your next exhale,
If it feels right for you,
Maybe you soften your gaze or close your eyes and just pause here,
Immediately see what comes up for you.
Maybe when you close your eyes,
You immediately feel the weight of your body,
Maybe you start to hear the sounds around you a little bit more clearly,
Maybe you notice that you lost track of my voice and you've been lost in a thought.
Together,
We'll bring our attention back to the sensation of breathing in,
Feeling that cool air enter through our nose,
And then releasing,
Feeling our shoulders melt down,
The weight of our body pressing down.
Just begin to turn inward,
Asking yourself,
What is the state of my mind right here right now?
No intention to change anything,
Not wanting to resist anything,
Just noticing,
Ah,
This is my mind right here in the present moment.
Thought comes in,
Distraction comes in,
We watch it,
We observe as it passes by,
Not getting lost in it,
Not resisting it.
Being gentle with ourselves,
Knowing that it's our human condition to think,
Knowing that it's natural for our mind to wander,
But feeling the distinction when we rest in the present moment,
Feeling that space as we breathe in,
As we breathe out,

As we breathe out to offer yourself gratitude for just meeting yourself where you're at today for being gentle with yourself for committing to a consistent practice knowing that one or two minutes every single day of observing when our mind is wandering and bringing it back to what we're doing in this present moment that is how we train our minds to find the state of being always and as you begin to take your final inhale and exhale with our eyes closed and it feels good begin to give yourself a gentle hug genuinely honoring this intention that you've set for yourself and opening your eyes and that feels good and when you feel ready maybe taking a couple of stretches maybe looking around the room and your space and just notice how do you feel right now begin to reflect maybe even journal how was day one for you thank you so much thank you so much and i hope you have a beautiful journey as you kick off day two tomorrow
