Find a comfortable seat. Let's rest for a moment in an upright posture. So when you've taken your seat. Allow your eyes to gently close. I'm going to do a short relaxing meditation. For just a few minutes. So resting the eyes down. And on the out breath. Imagine a soft wave. From the top of the head, All the way down to the soles of the feet. On every out-breath. As this wave travels down the body. It pulls away any tension. Leaving you relaxed. And now come to physical stillness. Relaxing here in this moment being as still as you can. And notice. That although your intention is stillness, There's the movements of the breath that happen somewhere in the body. Where can you feel that right now? It might be your chest. Your abdomen. You might feel it in the back. Or the shoulders moving up and down. Everywhere is valid. The whole body. When you've located them. The breath. Rest your attention on it. So we're not trying to cling to the breath with dear life we're not getting stressed out when we lose the breath and wander off into thinking. Instead we notice the breath wherever it shows up. And we rest our attention on it. So I'll leave you now. For a minute in silence. To practice that. Or by yourself. And when you're ready, You can begin to move the body a little. Maybe stretch. And in your own time allow the eyes to slowly open. Thank you.
