Hello and welcome.
My name is Mei and today we're going to nourish our mind and body by taking a mindfulness break and allowing ourselves to completely relax.
Sit or lay down in any position that feels right for your body.
Take your time to find a spot that helps your whole body feel comfortable.
You may want to sit with your legs crossed or to lay on your back with your arms and legs laid out and relaxed.
Take your time now to allow your body to shake out any last wiggles.
You can gently wiggle your fingers and toes before softly finding a spot to become very still.
Gently close your eyes.
Soften your shoulders and relax your jaw.
Let's pay attention now to your breath.
Can you take a big deep breath in and then a big deep breath out.
See now if we can take a slow breath in for three,
Two,
One,
Holding it for just a moment.
And now slowly breathe out for five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Once more,
Breathe in for three,
Two,
One,
Holding for just a moment and then slowly out for five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Breathing slowly like this helps tell your mind and body that you want to feel relaxed and calm.
You can continue breathing slowly in a rhythm that's comfortable for you.
We're going to use some affirmations now to continue telling your body and mind to fully enjoy these feelings of calmness and relaxation.
Listen to my voice and repeat these words just quietly inside your mind.
My body feels good gently resting.

You've done a wonderful job allowing your entire self to rest and recharge.
It's now time to bring your attention back to your day,
Into your environment.
We can start by gently wiggling the fingers and toes.
You can now softly open your eyes.
You're ready now to transfer the energy you've gained from this mindfulness break into the next part of your beautiful day.
Thank you for taking the time to be present here today.
I hope that you've enjoyed this meditation and I'll see you again next time.
