Start in a comfortable position.
You can sit or lie down as long as your back and spine is straight.
Take a minute to notice how you feel.
What sensations do you feel in your body?
Bring your awareness to any tension you may feel.
Start to observe your natural breath.
Is it fast or slow?
Notice your breath coming in and out of your nose.
Or your belly rising and falling.
Now try to deepen and lengthen your breath.
Observe any thoughts that may come into your mind.
Like the clouds that pass in the sky,
Let your thoughts pass by without attaching to them.
Realize that you are not your thoughts.
And that you can always disconnect from your thoughts.
Coming into the present moment by focusing on your breath.
When you have anxious or stressful thoughts,
Know that they are not you.
You are the observer of your thoughts and you can always find peace in the present moment.
You can now bring your attention back to the room.
Make slow movements to your fingers and toes.
And open your eyes.
Don't forget to stop,
Breathe,
Smile and give thanks this week.
