In this 10-minute minimally guided meditation,
I am only going to be talking in the beginning to bring you into the meditation.
I think this is where it can often be most helpful to guide you into the stillness,
Into the silence,
And then to let you rest there on your own.
So let's begin in a comfortable position.
Close your eyes.
And we'll take a few deep breaths in and out through your nose.
And at the end of your next exhale,
Allow your breath to flow naturally.
And we'll do a body scan,
Checking in with your body,
Scanning from the crown of your head down to your toes.
Noticing if there's any areas where you're holding on to some tension,
And if so,
Gently releasing any tightness.
And now,
Bring your attention to your breath as a whole.
Resting your attention on the rhythm of your breath,
Allowing yourself to sink into its natural flow.
Being present with each breath,
Allowing the breath to guide you into a state of relaxation and ease.
