Welcome to this gentle guided meditation.
Allowing your body to settle into a comfortable position.
Letting your eyes gently come to a close.
Knowing that this time is just for you.
To simply be here with yourself.
With no expectation.
Allowing your attention to settle on your body resting in this moment.
Noticing the weight of your body.
Fully supported by the surface beneath you.
Is there any tension in your body right now?
Remembering that it's perfectly okay to feel whatever you are feeling in this very moment.
Acknowledging that true contentment comes not from changing our experience.
But observing it as it is right now.
Allowing happiness to emerge from simply being aware of this moment of life.
Exactly as it is.
Allowing your awareness to settle on your breath.
Flowing without effort in this very moment.
Feeling as air enters your body.
Expanding your belly.
And contracting as air flows out.
Noticing when your mind starts to wander.
Gently guiding your attention back to your breath.
Flowing in this very moment.
Acknowledging that it is natural for the mind to wander.
In this moment there is no need to criticize yourself for what the mind naturally does.
Allowing each breath to be a new beginning.
Reminding you that you can always start again.
Allowing the sounds around you to enter your awareness.
What can you hear in this exact moment?
Listening to the sounds that are here with you in this very moment of life.
Allowing each sound to be a part of your current experience.
Inviting you to be present right here and right now.
Acknowledging that you are allowing life to unfold moment by moment.
Like a flower opening its petals to the sun.
Observing any thoughts that are present here with you right now.
What emotions are attached to these thoughts in this moment?
Allowing these thoughts and emotions to be here in this moment just as they are.
Just as you are.
Acknowledging that your thoughts and emotions come and with time go.
Yet you remain ever present and unchanging.
Gently allowing your awareness to come back into the room and the space around you.
Feeling the gentle calm in your body.
And the peace as your mind rests in stillness.
As you feel ready,
Gently and slowly allowing your eyes to open.
