Hi beautiful souls and welcome to this guided meditation.

And so just take your time to find a comfortable seat or lying down,

Whatever feels good for you.

And when you arrive,

Wherever you are just letting those eyes drift closed.

And taking a moment to let all the muscles in your face relax,

Softening.

And just letting your entire body release and relax.

And take a deep breath in through your nose and just side out the mouth,

Let it go.

Again inhaling,

Slowly filling up.

Deep breath out your mouth.

One more filling up,

Inhale.

And out the mouth release.

Just starting to breathe naturally in and out of your nose.

Starting to draw your attention to your nostrils.

Noticing the cool air as you inhale.

Being aware of the warm air as you exhale.

Maybe softening the face and putting a little smile on.

Sometimes when we are focusing the face can start to tense up,

We can get serious.

Just relax.

We're simply just observing our natural breath.

Maybe take a moment to just notice your mind.

Notice if there are any thoughts trying to grab your attention.

It's normal.

But at least for this moment,

No matter what the content of the thoughts are,

Not labeling them as good or bad.

Just immediately drawing your attention gently and softly back to that focus of your breath in and out of your nose.

We are habitual creatures and the mind is used to habit thinking and thinking patterns.

Some which are not very helpful.

And so this gentle practice of just being disinterested in the habitual patterns of mind and becoming so one,

So deeply one with the present moment is what meditation helps us do.

It helps us rewire all of those old patterns.

So again for this time being disinterested in the content.

Letting your body and your face relax even deeper as you just be with that breath.

Again,

Maybe bringing a gentle smile back on your face.

And maybe just noticing if even the mind is maybe talking about something that you would consider good.

Maybe it's planning for something later in the day.

And then drawing our attention back to breath.

Maybe just becoming aware of how bringing the mind's attention on something other than thinking starts to settle the mind all on its own just simply by redirecting the energy to something present.

Again,

We're just stopped here.

And it's okay if you get lost in thought for a little bit.

We're just simply practicing.

And the beautiful start is to just become aware and notice when you are thinking,

When you are engaged with thinking,

And to release that pattern,

To release that craving,

And gently come right back.

Have TRK,

Slowly,

When you feel ready,

You can very gently,

Blink open your eyes.

Maybe just slowly becoming aware of the room around you,

Your body sitting here.

And maybe just be aware of the nature of your mind,

The state of your mind right now.

Maybe a little bit quieter,

Slower,

Clearer.

And just reminding yourself throughout the day to take this practice with you.

Noticing throughout the day when the mind chatter is trying to grasp your attention,

Just bringing it right back to whatever it is that you're doing.

I hope you all have a beautiful day.

Thank you and namaste.
