Welcome my dear,
Find a comfortable position.
You can be sitting or lying down.
Feeling fully supported and gently closing your eyes,
Taking a deep nourishing breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
Allow your breath to guide you inward to this present moment.
With each inhale invite calmness and clarity.
With each exhale release any tension,
Distraction or hurry.
Let your shoulders drop,
Your face soften,
Your body unwinding.
There's nowhere else to be right now.
This moment is enough.
Now bring your awareness to your breath,
The steady rhythm of life moving through you.
Notice the coolness of the air as it comes in and the warmth as it leaves.
Simply observe without needing to change or control anything.
This is mindfulness,
The gentle art of being here,
Now.
As your breath finds its natural flow,
Bring your attention to the centre of your being,
Your heart space,
The still point within you.
Imagine a small glowing sphere of light resting there.
This light represents balance,
The harmony between giving and receiving,
Between doing and being,
Between effort and ease.
With every inhale the light grows brighter.
With every exhale it expands outward,
Filling your body with calm equilibrium.
Feel this light of balance anchoring in your heart,
Steadying your energy,
Softening your thoughts.
Now imagine yourself standing in the middle of a serene landscape,
Perhaps a forest,
A quiet meadow or a gentle shoreline.
The air feels peaceful and alive.
Everything here moves in natural rhythm,
No rush,
No strain.
You too are part of this harmony.
You are in sync with the rhythm of life.
Take a slow breath and gently repeat.
I am present in this moment.
I create balance by being mindful and aware.
In presence I find peace.
Let these words ripple through your being,
I am present in this moment.
I create balance by being mindful and aware.
In presence I find peace.
Let these words ripple through your being,
Settling deep into your body and your mind.
Now gently reflect on your life,
The areas where you give much energy and those where you might need to receive more.
Without judgement simply notice where you feel aligned and where a wee bit more balance could bring ease.
Ask your inner wisdom softly,
What one small action can I take to nurture balance in my life today?
And trust whatever arises,
Perhaps a word,
An image or a gentle feeling.
Allow gratitude to fill your heart for this awareness,
For this simple yet profound power of mindfulness.
It is through presence that balance is restored.
It is through awareness that harmony grows.
Take a few more nice deep breaths now,
Feeling grounded,
Clear and centred.
Inhale peace.
Exhale balance.
Exhale balance.
Now slowly begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment,
Gently wiggling your fingers and toes a wee bit,
Softly rolling your shoulders,
And when it feels right gently opening your eyes,
Carrying this truth with you.
Mindfulness is not something you visit,
It's something you live.
By staying present and honouring balance,
You walk in harmony with life itself.
Much love to you my dear.
