Hi, I'm Tineke from Mirasa and I will guide you in a short and simple meditation to help you relax. Take a comfortable seat with your spine straight. Feel your sit bones on the surface beneath you. Let yourself be carried by that surface. Allow yourself to sink down. Take a few slow, Deep breaths in and out. Make your exhalations longer than your inhalations. As long as feels good to you. Focus on the air traveling in and out your body. Feel the air moving down your nose, Filling up your lungs and belly. Your ribs and belly expand when you breathe in and contract when you breathe out. Feel the slight movements of your body when you're breathing. Your body moves very gently on the slow rhythms of your breath. This flow helps your body soften and relax. Now notice if you feel any tension in your body. If you do, Guide your breath to that part and intentionally let your muscles relax. Release all unnecessary tension while breathing deeply and slowly.
