Hello and welcome. My name is Tina and I want to thank you for joining me for this beginner meditation series. Today, We'll simply notice the breath. When you're ready, Find a comfortable position. It could be sitting or laying down, But wherever you are, Let your body be supported. Relax into whatever is holding you. Close your eyes if that feels good. If not, You could just soften your gaze. And now bring your attention to your breath. Not changing it, Just noticing. Feel the air moving in through your nose. Cool on the inhale. Warm on the exhale. Feel your belly rising and falling like a gentle wave, Soft and easy. You don't have to do anything with your breath. Just let it be. If your mind wanders away, That's okay. You haven't done anything wrong. Just gently, Kindly bring your attention back to the feeling of your breath. In and out. We'll stay here for just another minute, Just breathing and noticing. If it feels hard to stay focused, That's okay. You're building a new skill. Every time you notice your mind wandering and you bring it back, You're strengthening that muscle. Focusing on the breath. Okay, One more breath in. And release it out. And when you're ready, Let your breath return to its natural rhythm. Open your eyes if they were closed. And bring a little softness with you into the rest of your day. Namaste.
