This meditation will help you to have a good time out.
There are several reasons for one.
Maybe you simply want to do something good for yourself.
Or maybe you notice that everything is getting too much for you at the moment.
Or maybe you feel that you need to gather your energy to complete something that is important to you.
For all these cases,
This practice is good for you.
So let's begin.
Consciously change your position into one that radiates ease,
Relaxation and comfort.
Whatever this is for you.
Show your body that this is time out.
And then take your time to calm down and become slower,
Relaxed.
And focus on your breath.
Your breath,
How it comes and goes.
Without any effort.
Without you needing to do anything for that.
Consciously observing your breath.
And I invite you to focus on your breath at one particular place in your body where you can notice it easiest.
And from there follow the ebb and flow of your breath.
And let your consciousness expand throughout your body.
And gradually expand the awareness in your body following your breath.
How it expands.
And how the sensation of calm and peace spreads in your body.
Your whole body is breathing right now.
And allow yourself to sense yourself in this very moment.
Your own special presence right now.
Resting in yourself.
And next,
Feel the points of your body.
How it touches the ground.
Could be a chair.
Could be the floor.
Could be a cushion.
A blanket.
Whatever it is.
Feel how your body touches the ground.
And feel the pleasant weight of your body.
Feel how it's held.
How you are held.
And see if there are any places in your body where you can relax even a bit more.
If there is anything to let go.
Then enjoy this moment right now.
Being here with you.
Being here for you.
And while you're enjoying this moment and time for yourself,
Let your awareness open up to any impulse that comes up from the inside.
Anything that speaks to you.
That tells you what you want to do with this time out.
That's good for you.
It could be a sensation of wanting to think about something.
Or getting something done.
Or doing something pleasant for your body.
Or maybe it's just resting.
Whatever it is.
Just notice this impulse.
There's nothing you need to do with it right now.
Just notice.
And whatever is coming up,
Hold it in your attention.
Kindly.
And awake.
And then let it go.
Let it go like a balloon that you let go up in the air.
Full of trust that your inner wisdom will not forget about this.
And get in touch with this trust.
With this trust that there is something inside of you that knows what you need and what's good for you.
Always.
And guide your attention back to the sensation of calm and peace.
And resting in yourself.
Let your awareness rest on your breath.
How it comes and goes.
And sense your body.
Your home.
Right now.
Grounded.
Stable.
Calm.
At peace.
And now think of the side inside of yourself that knows what's good for you.
And connect to that trust in that side.
That it's there for you.
That it takes care of yourself.
And if this practice is the beginning of a longer period of time out for you,
Then let this trust guide you into creating good minutes,
Hours,
Or even days for yourself.
And if this meditation was your time out,
Then take any pleasant and helpful impulse that came up with you in the next moments of this day.
And to end this meditation in your own pace and time,
Take one final conscious breath,
Exhale,
And open your eyes.
