Hello,
Thank you for joining me.
I hope you're enjoying the beautiful sounds of nature on the North Carolina shore.
I invite you to find a comfortable position,
Either sitting on a chair,
On the floor,
Even perhaps laying down.
Deciding whether or not you'd like to close your eyes,
Keep them open.
Knowing at any point you can close them if they're open,
Or open if they're closed.
And now find your breath,
Meaning focus on your breath,
The inhale,
The exhale.
Perhaps counting how many seconds your inhale and exhale are.
And then inviting your breath to elongate by one or two seconds if that's comfortable.
Breathing in.
And breathing out.
Taking a moment just to pause,
To be,
Know where to go.
Knowing that your mind will wander as it does,
And inviting it back to the sound and the feeling of your breath.
The sound of the ocean,
Or the sound of the beautiful shorebirds.
Let's pause together.
Once again inviting your focus on your breath,
The sounds of the waves,
The songs of the birds.
Knowing that we are not human beings,
We are human beings,
We are not human doings,
And we don't give ourselves permission to take that pause,
That much needed pause,
That rest,
That be.
Just feeling all the sensations of being alive.
Embracing the idea of your beautiful soul having a human experience.
Taking two more breaths on your own.
Before you come back to the room,
Think of some place,
Someone,
Or something that you're grateful for.
Opening your eyes,
Lifting your gaze,
Welcome back.
Hoping you take that pause to be a human being more often.
Be well.
