Transcript

Welcome to this practice.

Find a comfortable position,

Either seated or lying down.

Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.

Take a moment to settle into stillness.

Begin by bringing your awareness to your breath.

Without changing anything,

Simply notice the natural rhythm of your inhale and exhale.

Feel the air moving in through your nose,

Filling your lungs and releasing back out.

Now shift your awareness to your body.

Notice any sensations present.

Tension,

Warmth,

Coolness,

Or ease.

Allow your breath to soften any areas of tightness.

With each exhale,

Release any unnecessary tension,

Letting gravity hold you.

Gently scan your body from the crown of your head all the way to your fingers and your toes.

Observing any sensations without judgment,

Simply acknowledging what is present.

Bring your attention to this moment.

Notice any sounds around you,

Distant or near.

Feel the air against your skin and observe your thoughts as they arise,

Without holding onto them or pushing them away.

Noticing this kind awareness you are extending to yourself,

Your breath,

Your body,

And your thoughts.

If your mind wanders,

That's okay.

Gently return to the breath,

Using it as an anchor to the present moment.

Now set an intention for your day.

It could be a word,

A feeling,

Or a simple phrase.

I choose peace.

I welcome ease.

I am present and open.

Let this intention settle into your heart,

Allowing it to guide you throughout your day.

Slowly bring your awareness back to your body,

Feeling the ground beneath you.

Wiggle your fingers and your toes.

And when you're ready,

Gently open your eyes.

Take one more deep breath in and exhale fully.

Carry this sense of mindfulness with you as you move forward,

Wherever you are.
