Transcript

Take a moment and before we begin setting an intention for your meditation practice. Creating an emotion before an experience and allow this meditation to draw the experience to you. Sitting comfortably, Elongate your spine. Begin to relax your face, Your jaw, Close your eyes. Let your eyes sink heavy into your skull. Begin to feel the weight of your body. Feel how your body is supported by the earth. Slowly take a deep breath in through your nose, Filling up tippy top. Big exhale. Take a moment and just notice how that feels. Can you relax your body just a little bit more? Softening the shoulder, Feeling the weight. Slowly take a deep breath in through the nose, Filling up with the breath right at the top. Feel yourself absolutely still. One more sip in. Open mouth, Big exhale and notice how it feels. To really relax your body even more. Softening your chest and your belly. Feel your entire body sink down. Next inhale, Fill the entire upper body with air slowly. Sipping with an open mouth, Big exhale and release. Breathe and feel. How does it feel to release? Begin to relax your legs, Your feet. Soften and relax. Let your breath move in and out. A wave works the best for you. Notice that your breath is always there. At any moment you can bring your mind back to your breath. Struggle for control. Slowly relax your body. Begin to draw your attention to your heart. Watch your breath come in and out. Let your breath begin to expand the energy of your heart. As you breathe in and out, Imagine that softening in your heart. As you begin to expand your awareness, Notice the space outside your body. Begin to imagine there are no walls around you. Begin to imagine that there's infinite space. Can you feel yourself? Infinite space. How far does that space go? Can you breathe into this space? Relax into this space and feel with your heart. Into this is the feeling. Feel. You find this feeling with your heart. It exists in your brain, But it lives in your heart. Keep relaxing into it just by being aware. This feeling, That infinite space, Or any possible, Can attract your body one more time. Take one more deep breath into your heart. Hold that feeling in your heart. As if you can't get enough, Sip in a little bit more. Big exhale. Send it out. Take your time. When you're ready, Slowly open your eyes and present yourself as a new person. Focus.
