Take a moment to close your eyes and connect your awareness to right here and right now.

Notice if you need to shift or move,

Allowing your body to get really comfortable.

Notice how you feel today.

Right here,

Right now,

Without any judgement,

Just notice where are you at today.

Relax all the muscles from around your eyes and bring gentleness into your entire face.

Focus your attention on breathing in and out through your nose.

Maybe adding in the mantra,

I am on the inhale and exhaling my breath.

I am my breath.

Release your tongue from the roof of your mouth and soften the jaw muscles.

Feel your chest rise and fall with each breath.

Without forcing,

Gently nudge your way into a longer inhale and a much longer exhale.

Drop your shoulders.

Bring your attention into your heart.

Feel your body melt into this moment.

Allow your entire being to soften.

I'd like you to take a step back from your life for just a moment.

Leave all your worries,

Concerns,

Situations,

Relationships aside for now.

Inhale the words right here and exhale the words right now.

Right here,

Right now.

Coming into this now moment.

Let everything be right now,

Just as it is.

You are safe to just sit and to get in touch with yourself.

Right here,

Right now.

Now just dip your awareness to a macro level view of your life as if you're watching yourself in third person.

Viewing your life from afar.

You're not in your life,

You're just seeing it in your mind's eye.

And without any judgment,

Become aware of everything going on in your life.

All the relationships,

Roles,

Responsibilities.

Breathe into the recognition of this wonderful life of yours.

Feel yourself vibrating in the resonance of your life.

Relax your jaw again.

Feel your eyes melt.

Now where in your life could you slow down and be a bit more present?

Just recognize without any judgment.

Where could your presence in life bring you more joy,

More recognition of this beautiful life?

Come back to your breath,

Breathing in and out through your nose.

Where in your life could you bring in some more patience and presence?

Where have you maybe let things go astray?

Notice and listen from within.

You don't need to fix anything or come up with any solutions right now.

You are simply letting everything be and you're right here right now.

You're breathing and examining parts of your life where you could slow down and recognize the beauty of life.

Once again,

Breathing in right here and exhaling right now.

Right here,

Right now.

Allow yourself to go deeper for a few minutes as my voice goes silent and listen from within for guidance and direction.

Now,

Where in your life could you bring in some more patience and presence?

Come back to your breath,

Breathing in right here and exhaling right now.

Come back to your breath,

Breathing in right here and exhaling right now.

Come back to your breath,

Breathing in right here and exhaling right now.

Come back to your breath,

Breathing in right here and exhaling right now.

Come back to your breath,

Breathing in right here and exhaling right now.

Come back to your breath,

Breathing in right here and exhaling right now.

Come back to your breath,

Breathing in right here and exhaling right now.

Come back to your breath,

Breathing in right here and exhaling right now.

Come back to your breath,

Breathing in right here and exhaling right now.

Come back to your breath,

Breathing in right here and exhaling right now.

Slowly bring your attention back to the sound of my voice.

Bringing your attention back to your breath.

Noticing the rise and fall of your chest.

Take a moment now to recognize any learnings or insights that came from this meditation.

Come back now.

Come back now,

Taking three longer,

Slower,

Deeper breaths.

And send your attention now to your fingers.

Bringing some movement into your hands,

Your arms coming up to your shoulders.

Moving into some shoulder rolls from one side to the next,

Keeping that jaw slightly open.

Coming back to center and slowly opening your eyes.

Thank you for joining me today.

Namaste.

Thank you for this very calming meditation. I am one who is rushing almost all the time. Some of that is self-inflicted as I am a bad time manager. Patient seems to elude me. This was a great meditation for me. Being in the now and moving more slowly. Making time to arrive where I need to on a daily basis without rushing. Thank you very much. I will listen to this often.
