Welcome to the mindful check-in.
Sitting in a comfortable position that allows you to be relaxed,
And alert,
Awake,
And feeling free to close your eyes or keep them open.
And if you keep them open,
You're perhaps finding a spot about three feet ahead of you just to rest a gentle gaze.
And beginning by taking a few deep and slow breaths,
Coming into the present moment.
Connecting with the breath,
Saddling into the body,
Here and now.
And expanding your awareness now to notice sensations throughout the entire body,
Including where the breath is felt.
And as you drop into the body,
Perhaps you begin to notice a whole multitude of sensations.
From the head to the toes,
Feeling your body awake and alive.
Bringing a gentle and mindful awareness as you allow sensations to come and go within the body.
Shifting awareness now to thoughts and emotions.
Noticing what thoughts are here in the mind.
Emotions or moods or feelings are here in the body,
In the heart,
In this very moment.
Bringing curiosity and compassion,
Kindness to whatever's here for you.
Letting your mood,
Your emotions just be as they are.
Allowing whatever thoughts are here in the mind,
The quality of thinking,
Mind,
Just to be.
Observing and becoming attuned to your experience right now without intervening.
You are perfect just as you are.
This moment is perfect just as it is.
There's no need for things to be any different.
And shifting awareness now back to the breath in the body,
Coming home.
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
And in a few moments we'll come to the end of this practice.
Taking time to thank yourself now for making the time to check in with yourself.
This is an act of self-love.
Thank you.
