Speaker 1:

Welcome to your guided meditation. Today we're going to focus just on the breath and the physical sensations within the body, creating space for softness and surrender. This practice is designed for anyone that's new to meditation or looking to simplify their meditation practice, so just relax and let yourself be guided through each step. Let's start by finding a comfortable position. You can be seated on a chair or lying on the floor, or your bed, with your spine long but not rigid. Close your eyes gently or, if that feels uncomfortable for you today, soften your gaze and direct it downwards. Take a deep breath in through your nose and slowly exhale through your mouth Again. Take a deep breath in and release. Breathe in, release. Now allow your breath to return to its own natural rhythm, where there's no need to control or change anything, and just start to observe. Begin to notice the sensation of the breath entering the body and then leaving the body. Where can you feel the breath most clearly? Maybe you can feel that cool air entering your nostrils, or perhaps the gentle rise and fall of your chest or your belly. Just observe. Just observe without judgment and allow yourself to tune in to the natural rhythm of your breathing. As you continue to breathe, allow your attention to gently scan through your body, start at the crown of your head and slowly work your way down, noticing any sensations you might be feeling. Notice the tension in your forehead, your cheeks, your jaw and, as you exhale, gently soften and releasing any tightness. And, releasing any tightness, move your attention down to your neck and shoulders. How do they feel? Are they holding any tension?

Speaker 1:

Breathe into this area. Breathe into this area and allow that softening as you exhale. Feel the weight of your body where it connects with the ground or the chair beneath you. Notice the sensation of your sitting bones grounded beneath you. Allow yourself to feel supported by the earth and notice how, when you focus on this feeling of the surface beneath you, you feel held, you feel supported and safe. Notice the softness in your belly and the gentle movement as you continue to breathe. Bringing your awareness now to your hands Are they resting on your lap or by your side? Notice the temperature of your skin, the weight of your hands, the connection to your body or the surface beneath them.

Speaker 1:

Now shifting your attention to your legs and feet, feel the contact with the floor, the texture of the surface, noticing any tension you might be holding there.

Speaker 1:

Release that tension with your exhale and notice how, with each inhale, your body expands slightly and with each exhale it softens. Imagine that with each breath in you're creating space, space to relax, space to let go, and with every breath out, you are releasing tension, worry and stress that you may be holding onto as you continue to observe the breath and the sensations in your body. Allow yourself to feel safe in this moment is welcomed here, as you release all need for control. There's nothing to do, nowhere to go. Just this moment, just this breath. Allow yourself to surrender to the present and if your mind begins to wander, know that this is completely normal. Just gently guide your attention back of the breath as if you were experiencing it for the very first time the texture, the sound, the temperature. And each time you return to the breath, you deepen your connection to this moment. Take a few more moments here, in the stillness, breathing in and breathing out, letting go of anything that no longer serves you and creating space for softness and peace within.

Speaker 1:

Thank you and, when you feel ready, slowly bring your awareness back to the room around you, gently wiggle your fingers and your toes and, when you feel ready, open your eyes. Take this last moment to acknowledge yourself for practicing, for creating this time and space for stillness. Thank you for joining me. I hope you carry this sense of calm and release with you into the rest of your day. Thank you, thank you.
