Close your eyes,
Allow your mind to settle.
Take a deep breath in and exhale all the air out.
We're going to do a morning meditation to start your day off in a positive,
Productive and calm manner.
You don't need to do anything other than listen up and follow along.
Allow yourself to focus on the breath.
Notice where you experience the inhales and the exhales.
Try to take the attention to the abdomen,
To your stomach and notice with each inhale the stomach expands and with each exhale the navel draws back towards the spine.
Focus your efforts and your attention here,
Inhaling fully and exhaling completely.
With all of your attention,
One each inhale and exhale.
And now continuing to focus on the breath,
This time at the end of the inhale,
Notice a small pause before the exhale begins naturally.
And as you exhale,
Notice a small pause before the inhale begins.
Take your attention to these small pauses,
These small pockets of time and have your attention there.
Notice that's all you need to do.
No judgement,
But with kindness.
Now leave the breath,
Leave your focus on the breath and allow your mind to wander.
Allow it to wander through your day,
Picturing where you're going next,
What you'll be doing,
But picturing it from a positive perspective.
Creating a nice calm and even day ahead for yourself,
Using your imagination and allowing it to be just what you need it to be.
Now bring the attention back to your breath again,
Back to those pauses at the end of the inhale and at the end of the exhale.
This time as we inhale,
We want to imagine filling the body up with positivity and calm,
Or whatever words work best for you.
You take what you need from the inhale and as you exhale,
Those very same qualities are what you put out into the world.
Inhaling a sense of calm and exhaling a sense of calm.
Inhaling a sense of positivity,
Exhaling and sharing a sense of positivity.
Use your breath to guide you and use the affirmations,
I am calm,
I am positive or any other affirmations that suit you.
Be kind to yourself and allow the breath to flow naturally.
When your mind begins to wander,
Gently bring it back to the present moment with no judgement.
And now leave the affirmations and allow your mind and your attention to come to your eyes.
We are slowly going to picture the room that you are in.
Imagine the ceiling,
The walls,
Where you are and anyone else in the room with you.
Build up a mental image of the room.
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale know that you have given yourself this gift,
This time.
The sense of calm that you have created you can take with you throughout the rest of your day.
On your next inhale,
Gently open your eyes and go about the rest of your morning.
