Welcome to this morning meditation.
I invite you to find a comfortable seat whether it's sitting on the floor cross-legged or whether it's lying down.
Wherever you are start to notice the surface beneath you.
When you are ready gently close the eyes or soften the gaze allowing the eyelids to shut.
Relaxing any tension in the face,
In the eyebrows,
In the jaw.
Relaxing any tension from the shoulders,
Allowing the shoulders to relax and soften away from the ears.
Keeping a nice and tall spine start to take a deep inhale in and a nice full exhale out.
Taking a deep inhale in and another nice full exhale out.
Continue with this pace of breath allowing the breath to soften the body to relax the muscles,
To relax any tension.
As time passes by start to notice if there are any parts of the body that are still tight and tense.
See if you can draw your awareness towards those parts.
Using the breath to bring a little more ease and relaxation.
Deep inhales in,
Nice full exhales out.
Deep inhales in and full exhales out.
As you sit here in silence and stillness start to notice the mind.
Without judgment,
Without criticism,
Just notice whatever thoughts come up.
Just notice and allow them to gently flow on.
As you notice each thought resist the urge to attach to them.
Meditation is a way to gently observe,
To see what comes up and to allow things to pass on without attachment.
Take a deep inhale in and a long breath out.
Let's try two more times like this.
A nice deep breath in and exhale,
Sigh it out.
One last one,
A full inhale and a long deep sigh out.
As we come to the end of this meditation I invite you to gently bring movement into your fingertips,
Into your toes.
Noticing your body and the state you are in.
Know that you can come back to your breath at any time during the day when things get stressful or a bit hectic.
When you are ready,
Slowly open the eyes.
Thank you for joining me on this meditation and I wish you a great day ahead.
You
