Transcript

Sitting in a comfortable position on a chair or cross-legged on the floor,

Gently close your eyes and bring your attention to the breath.

Rounding yourself through your seat,

Begin to notice your body,

Starting from the toes and working your way up,

Noticing any sensations,

Any tensions,

No judgement.

Up through your legs,

Your pelvis and your lower torso,

Just noticing how your body feels.

Moving up your upper torso,

Shoulders,

Arms and hands.

Moving up to your neck,

Your face and your head.

Noticing your body,

Your whole body.

And now,

Going within,

Notice what's going on in there.

Any feelings,

Emotions.

Just wearing your body,

You're feeling them and just allow them to be.

Noticing without judgement.

Feeling inside.

Now bringing your attention to the breath as you inhale through your nose and exhale gently through your nose.

Relaxing your belly,

Expand on the in-breath and contract on the out-breath.

If your mind gets distracted by thoughts,

Just gently bringing your attention back to the breath.

Now taking a deep breath in to close the meditation.

Breathing in and gently breathing out.

And opening your eyes,

Coming back into the room.

Reviews

Wow such an important and good meditation! Much needed.

Quick but quite effective. 😊

Perfect slow guidance, short and grounding, I like the bell at start and at finish. Beautiful, thank you 🙂

A straightforward and effective way to silence the noise and connect with the breath and body. I believe this is one of the first times that I actually “got it” when making that connection! Thank you!!! 🙏🏾

I didn't want to come back. Wish it was longer. Beautiful voice.

I didn't want to come bsck..😀

this will
be perfect for when i need a breather at work.

This was very relaxing at the end of the day, yet I think it would be a great way to take a quick work break, too. Quick, yet it didn’t feel rushed to me. I’ll return to this soon.

I really needed this meditation today...Namaste🙏🏽
