Transcript

Hello and welcome.

Let's begin this meditation by finding a comfortable seat or maybe lying down.

Maybe shutting your eyes or dropping your gaze down low so that you can connect into yourself.

Softening into the experience as you allow your shoulders to relax away from your ears.

Let your jaw be soft.

Relax through the cheekbones.

Bring your attention to the space between your eyebrows.

Relax and soften here.

Begin to draw a breath in through your nose.

Breathing in for one,

Two,

Three,

And then pause for just a moment.

I'm releasing the breath for four,

Three,

Two,

One.

Another full breath in.

Breathing in for one,

Two,

Three.

Hold the breath and then open your mouth and let the breath go for four,

Two,

One.

Just resume your natural breath.

Soften into the space.

Notice where there is tension or stress that you're holding on to your body.

Visualize your breath to that area,

Circling around,

Healing as it circles and then leaving your body,

Taking the stress and the tension with it.

Just sitting in this moment with yourself.

Do a little check in to see how you feel.

What sort of emotions are showing up today?

How do you feel physically in this body?

Mentally,

What is running through your mind?

And then see if you can just let all of that go.

All of the thoughts,

All of the worries,

All of the fears,

And just welcome in the breath.

Breathing in and breathing out.

And that's it.

Just a moment to pause,

A moment to check in,

A moment to feel,

A moment to breathe.

I hope you have the best day going forward.

Thank you so much for showing up with me.
