So let's start now by taking a comfortable seated position where you can feel both alert and relaxed.
Gently close your eyes,
Bringing your attention inward.
And take a deep breath.
And another deep breath.
And on the out breath,
Letting go.
One more deep breath.
Hold.
And on that out breath,
Letting go.
Now bringing your attention to your natural breath.
Noticing your breath,
The natural rhythm of your breath,
In and out.
Notice how your breath feels in your body.
Perhaps the rise and fall of your chest.
How does that feel?
What are the sensations of the breath?
Notice the feeling of the air in your nose,
Your tummy to be soft.
Feeling the breath in your tummy.
Rise and fall.
Simply allowing the breath.
And if thoughts arise,
That's perfectly okay.
Let them drift through like clouds and return to the breath.
In and out.
The sensations of the breath.
Rise and fall.
Feeling the breath in your body.
Returning over and over to the breath.
Allowing your focus to shift.
Coming back now.
Bringing your attention to the world around you.
Opening your eyes.
Sitting in stillness.
Taking a moment to notice how you feel.
Thank you.
