Welcome to this couple's meditation,
Enhancing Our Day.
What an amazing moment to celebrate.
It didn't happen by accident.
You both chose to be here,
To create this moment for yourself,
To enhance meaningful connection with yourselves.
Allow yourself to sit in a mirrored position and be at a distance where if you could both lean forward you could gently and quite comfortably touch foreheads.
You might like to just do this now and then when you're ready gently coming back again.
This is a moment for you both.
You both deserve this.
Allowing yourself to have a posture that's somewhat balanced and symmetrical and let go of any expectations.
This is all about meaningful connection and so first off as you are sitting in front of one another you've got a choice here.
You can hold a soft gaze in front of your partner's face for instance or you could hold a soft gaze that picks up the movement of your partner's breathing.
Anything,
It's up to you.
You might like to start taking attention to your out-breath.
Just your out-breath as your body breathes at its own rate and rhythm.
So now that you're here the out-breath in this moment is what matters because the more you're with this connection here the more refined your awareness becomes so as to enhance this moment of meaningful connection that you both are sharing and is evolving as you do this.
You might like to notice how the out-breath is like one separate unit,
One separate piece of your experience from start to finish.
What's it like to just notice the out- breath as an individual unit allowing your awareness to be curious and gently tracking this movement.
Now see if you can focus on this one complete unit of the out-breath without being distracted by your mind,
Relaxing,
Softening your body,
Allowing this moment to be absorbed.
Thoughts will come and go in the background whilst you stay focused on this separate unit,
Each separate unit.
And now if your eyes are closed gently open them and hold a soft gaze upon your partner's face or the way they're breathing or anything that you prefer.
Finding an anchor and gently being with this whilst you stay connected to each of those separate units of the out-breath.
There's nothing else to do right now,
Nowhere else to be,
Nothing needs to be said.
You are here right now,
Softening into this moment and enhancing the connection between the both of you.
When we're connected in this way there's no better moment.
The more you release,
The more you allow,
The more you gently rest your awareness on your out-breath with your partner here doing the same thing.
Two people gently connecting,
Truly being here now.
And now what you might like to do is to notice with a conscious movement as you reach out your hands to take your partner's hands.
Feel the energy within your partner's hands.
Use this now as your main point of connection.
So shifting from the out-breath and going to your partner's hands.
Maybe you can feel the warmth or a temperature in any way.
And now taking a moment to slowly,
Very slowly lean forward into each other whilst holding your partner's hands.
Coming closer until you gently touch foreheads just like you did at the start.
Now slowly returning to the position you were before.
Open your awareness to what is surrounding you in this moment.
Opening up to this person in front of you.
This couples meditation enhancing our day has come to an end.
