Taking a moment to arrive.
Taking two or three deliberate breaths.
Feeling the contact to your chair.
Your feet on the floor.
Hands resting on your lap.
And then taking a moment to feel into your body as a whole.
What kind of attitude are you bringing to the sit today?
Is there agitation,
Exhaustion,
Anxiety,
Love,
Relaxation?
And is there any place in the body where this is noticeable,
Where this is apparent?
Maybe you feel some tension in your shoulders,
Between your eyebrows.
Or maybe it's a feeling in the stomach.
Just feeling into that,
Being present with that.
And then coming to the sensation of your breath,
Feeling the in-breath and the out-breath.
And simply following the in and out of the breathing.
And when you notice that your mind has wandered,
Gently letting go and bring us back to the sensation of the breathing.
And then finally letting go of the focus and the breathing.
Coming back to the sensation of the body,
The contact with the chair.
And in your own time,
Opening the eyes if they've been closed.
Thank you for joining me today.
Have a great day.
