Hello and welcome to this meditation.

My name is Tanya D.

With The Peace We Crave,

And today we are going to be doing a centering and chakra releasing and receiving meditation.

I invite you now to get into whatever position is comfortable for you when you meditate,

Whether that's sitting on a cushion or a chair or lying down.

And once you get into that position,

I invite you to start off with a surrender breath.

If you don't know how to do that,

You inhale and raise the shoulders towards the ears and hold your breath.

And then on the exhale,

Drop the shoulders down and release the breath with an audible sigh.

Inhale the shoulders up,

Hold,

Squeeze.

And on the exhale,

Drop the shoulders down.

Do that one more time.

Inhale,

Shoulders up,

Hold,

Squeeze.

And on the exhale,

Drop the shoulders down.

So you can come into stillness.

You can place the hands on the lap or somewhere comfortable next to you if you're lying down.

You can close the eyes if that's comfortable for you.

That's not for any reason.

You can keep the eyes open,

Just gazing softly down in front of you.

And begin to breathe.

Just noticing the breath.

Noticing how it's going in and out of the body.

Be a body breathing.

If you'd like to connect with the breath a little bit more,

You can place your hands on your belly anywhere that's comfortable.

And on the inhale,

You feel a belly rise and expand.

And on the exhale,

You feel a belly draw back.

Inhale,

Belly rises,

Expands.

And on the exhale,

You feel the belly draw back.

And we'll just be here for a little bit.

Just breathing.

So you you you You can take your hands off of your belly and place them down next to you or on your lap and while continuing to breathe begin to notice all the places where your body comes in contact with something in your physical space and become present in your physical body just dropping in and taking note on how you're feeling physically and you can even observe how you're feeling mentally and emotionally and also taking note how you're feeling spiritually and we're just observing here just seeing where we're at in this moment you I invite you now to bring your awareness to the crown of
