Hi,
Welcome to this 10 minute meditation.
Find a comfortable seated position,
Allowing your spine to be upright and your body relaxed.
Rest your hands on your lap,
Or place one hand on your heart and the other on your abdomen,
Whichever feels more comfortable to you.
Take a few deep breaths,
Inhaling slowly through your nose and exhaling fully through your mouth.
Allow each breath to bring a sense of calm and relaxation to your body and mind.
Now shift your attention to the natural rhythm of your breath.
Notice the sensations of the breath as it enters and leaves your body.
Feel the gentle rise and fall of your abdomen and the coolness of the air as it passes through your nostrils.
As you continue to focus on your breath,
Let go of any thoughts or distractions that arise,
Simply observing each inhale and exhale being fully present in the experience of breathing.
If your mind starts to wander,
Gently guide your attention back to the sensations around your nostrils and inside your nostrils as you breathe in and out.
There is no need to judge or analyze.
Simply be with the breath as it flows in and out.
As you deepen your connection with your breath,
Imagine that each inhale you are breathing in a sense of lightness,
Peace and freedom.
With each exhale,
Release any tension and allow your breath to be as calm as possible.
Let go of any thoughts,
Worries or heaviness that you may be carrying.
Stay with this breath-focused awareness for the remaining duration of the meditation,
Allowing your breath to anchor you in to the present moment and cultivate a state of relaxation and mental clarity.
Bringing your awareness back to the room to conclude this meditation,
Taking a final few deep breaths,
Gradually bringing your awareness back to your surroundings.
Take a moment to express gratitude for this practice and the calmness it has brought to your being.
Thank you.
