Welcome,
This is your moment,
A sacred pause in the middle of life's noise,
A time to soften,
To clear away the clutter of the mind and to discover the peace that has always been within you,
Close your eyes now,
Allow your body to settle and let your breath become slow and steady,
You are safe here,
You are supported,
You are enough,
Just as you are,
Begin by noticing your breath without trying to change it,
Simply observing the gentle rise and fall of your chest,
Take a slow breath in through your nose,
Hold just for a moment and exhale gently through your mouth,
With each exhale imagine releasing a small piece of the mental clutter,
A distraction,
Breath in calm,
Breath out release,
This rhythm is your anchor,
Allow this calm breath to spread through your body,
Feel your feet heavy and grounded,
Your legs warm and relaxed,
Your hips and belly softening,
Releasing tension,
Your chest opening with each breath as if creating space within your shoulders,
Drop lower,
Your arms and hands loose and free,
Relaxing the muscles of your neck,
Your jaw,
Your face,
Every part of you is letting go,
Making room for inner stillness,
Now imagine your mind as a quiet room,
Inside this room are shelves filled with boxes,
Each box holds a touch,
A memory,
Some importance,
Some not,
One by one you begin to open these boxes,
You look inside and you decide gently what can stay and what can go,
Some thoughts you set aside,
Some you release completely,
Watching them dissolve like smoke in the air,
With every release this room becomes lighter,
Clearer,
More spacious,
Until there is only what truly matters,
And the rest has drifted away,
In this open space of your mind,
Repeat softly within yourself,
My mind is clear,
My heart is calm,
I choose peace,
I am free from what no longer serves me,
Feel the power of these words,
Feel them taking roots within you,
Restoring your nervous system,
Restoring your inner balance,
Allow yourself to sit in the silence now,
Simply breathing,
Simply being,
The clutter is gone,
The mind is open and in that open mind's openness,
There is peace,
Peace in your body,
Peace in your mind,
Peace in your soul,
As this meditation comes to an end,
Remember,
Clarity is always within your reach,
Is the key,
Your awareness is the door away,
Take one more deep breath in and release,
Everything begin to move gently,
Fingers,
Shoulders,
And slowly,
Open your eyes,
Carrying with you the sense of space,
The sense of calm,
Into the rest of your day.
