Welcome to this quiet moment for yourself,
Allowing your body to settle into a comfortable position,
Letting your eyes soften and gently come to a close.
We are simply here to practice being.
There is no need to do anything.
It is okay to feel overwhelmed by the details of life sometimes.
We all experience this feeling.
Taking a few deep breaths in and letting them out slowly.
Noticing how your breath naturally flows in and flows out.
With each breath out,
Allowing your body to let go even just a little bit.
Remembering that it is natural to feel caught up in the hustle of daily tasks.
Allowing yourself to rest here in the presence of your breath.
Noticing the rise and fall of your chest with each breath.
Each breath is an example of our life happening.
Each breath comes and goes.
As you are resting here with your breath,
Noticing any thoughts about tasks popping into your mind in this moment.
Knowing that you are not alone in this experience.
Each time a thought pops up,
Allowing it to be there.
Knowing that with time it will pass.
As you notice each thought,
Gently returning your awareness back to your breath with kindness.
Allowing yourself to flow like water with your awareness around the obstacles that your mind puts up.
Continuing to observe your breath and how it flows without effort.
With each breath in and each breath out,
Feeling yourself more rooted in this present moment.
As our minds gently settle down,
We begin to see the true nature of our thoughts.
Our thoughts simply are not us.
They are merely visitors passing through our day.
Feeling your body resting on the surface beneath you.
Acknowledging this small achievement you have made by stepping back from the busyness of life and choosing to simply be here right now.
Allowing your awareness to come back into the room and the space around you as you prepare to carry on with the rest of your day.
Remembering that stillness is always within you.
Feeling your breath once again in this moment.
Acknowledging how your breath is always with you no matter what you are doing or what is happening around you.
As you feel ready,
Gently allowing your eyes to open.
Knowing that nature does not hurry and yet everything is accomplished.
