Welcome.

Thank you for joining me in this meditation journey.

During this time together,

We will practice using breath for present moment awareness.

Now let's begin by finding our comfortable seat,

Knowing that being comfortable is the only rule for meditation.

Using our eyes or finding a soft gaze,

Start to notice how you feel the earth beneath your feet,

The chair,

The pillow or the ground under you supporting you.

Settle deeply into your space,

Feeling grounded,

Secure,

Knowing that you are safe here in this space,

Giving yourself permission to be here,

Honoring yourself for taking time for stillness and centering.

This time is so important to our strained nervous systems.

Settle in and begin to become aware of your breathing,

Just noticing the way the air moves in and out.

Now begin to slow the breath until you come to a place where you are able to follow a count of four on the inhale and six on the exhale.

Inhale two,

Three,

Four,

Exhale three,

Four,

Five,

Six.

Follow the breath using this count.

Allow your nervous system to slow,

Finding stillness and calm.

Inhale,

Nice slow exhale.

Just be here for a few more moments following the breath,

Centering in,

Knowing you have nothing else to do and nowhere else to be.

Stay present with breath.

Settle in,

Bring your awareness to your present moment.

When we bring our awareness to present moment,

We have the ability to bring a beautiful calming effect to our mind and body.

When our outer world seems out of control,

Busy or chaotic,

When a situation causes stress or anxiety to build,

Just gently coming back to breath,

Focusing on the pace and the depth of our breathing brings a power,

Knowing we can control our inner world.

Instantly we're able to soothe ourselves.

We need no one else and nothing else to be able to do this.

We learn to trust that we are capable of calming ourselves when we take a moment to regain that piece of control.

We reboot our nervous system,

Calm our mind and body.

Continue your breathing,

Relaxing your shoulders,

Letting them drop away from your ears.

Open and close your fingers a few times,

Releasing any extra tension.

Unclench the jaw and relax.

Following the breath,

Take a few moments here,

Breathing in this space.

Taking the count of four on the inhale and six on the exhale,

Nice,

Slow,

Deep breathing.

Stay here for a few moments.

I will gently call you back.

Just be in this moment.

Thank you so much for such a beautiful meditation. I used it after a small car accident when everybody around me was away. It cast a light on an old habit of mine to look for external soothing (whether somebody else or sugary food for example) and allowed me to understand and see for myself I had the power (indeed) to self soothe and that I should honour this power. Thank you again ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
