And I welcome and acknowledge you for being here.

Today's breathwork meditation is on embracing stillness.

Together let's explore the art of embracing stillness amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Are you ready?

Let's dive in.

Take a moment to get out your wiggles or stretch your hands above your head,

Maybe twisting your spine from left to right.

And now sink into a quiet space and posture where you can fully immerse yourself in this moment of peace.

If you'd like,

Gently close your eyes and take a few deep breaths in and out.

Today we'll be practicing the 4-7-8 breathing technique known for its calming effect on the body,

Mind,

And heart.

Notice how stillness feels within you.

How can you cultivate this inner calm throughout your day,

Even amidst movement and chaos?

Bring both hands to rest on top of your heart,

Acknowledging the love and stillness within and acknowledging all emotions and all experiences that you carry because all of you matters.

Gently floating your eyes open and returning to your space,

Sending you peace and love.
