Do not listen to this recording while driving or if you are operating machinery. Only listen when you can safely relax and are able to get as comfortable as possible. Hi, My name is Robert Aceves and I welcome you to this guided meditation to quiet the mind and reduce stress at work. Let's begin. Let's take a moment to find a comfortable seated position. You may adjust your body so that you find the perfect balance. Keep your back straight and place both of your hands comfortably on your lap and slowly close your eyes. Softly bringing your awareness to your breath, Feeling the air entering your body and feeling the air leaving your body. During the course of this meditation, We're going to focus on your breath. If your mind wanders, That's okay, Don't judge yourself for it. Simply bring your focus back as soon as you catch yourself wandering back to your breath, Nothing else. Inhaling and exhaling. This will help to train your mental muscles to stay focused. The reason why we focus on your breath is because every time you inhale, This is the present, And every time you exhale, Now, This is the present. And so, We are practicing to be present in our lives. You may find that your mind tends to get distracted easily, That's normal. This is why we call this a practice, Because we practice constantly in order to improve. So, Consider this a workout for your mind. Listen to the music and keep your focus on your breath. Inhaling and exhaling. Practicing to follow the natural rhythm of your body. Inhaling and exhaling. And even if you can only hold your focus for 5 or 10 seconds on your breath, It is important to keep in mind that your mental muscles will improve with practice. Feel your body. Notice what happens as you continue to focus all your attention on your breath. Inhaling and exhaling. Continue to breathe and stay present with your breath. As the air comes into your body, The air leaves your body. That's it. Notice how your body feels now as you continue to breathe naturally and following the natural rhythm of your body. Notice the feeling of your body touching the chair you're sitting on, Feeling your hands and your toes. When you're ready, Slowly opening your eyes and observing the objects around you, The colors around you, The temperature of the room. Great job. And thank you for listening. And remember, Even if you are able to focus only for a little bit, Keep practicing as you will do better each time and these little improvements will carry over into other areas of your life. Again, Thank you for being here and for practicing with me and I'll talk to you next time.
