The intention of this meditation is to give you an opportunity to practice letting go of the avalanche of thought in your mind so you can get out of your head and into the beauty of this present moment. So let yourself settle into a comfortable position, softening your body.
and finding the rhythm of your breath. Easy, slow, in and out. Cool on the inhale, warm on the exhale. Follow the air into your belly, stretching it out as you breathe in, contracting as you breathe out. Your mind naturally wants to play
Flashing visions, stories, and speckles of thoughts across its walls. Just notice as they come up. Observing them calmly from afar. Letting them lay in front of you and not in you. Notice that they are there and you are here. Separate. You are not those thoughts.
Allow that truth to infuse you with a warm confidence, knowing you can get out of your head and into the moment. Wiggle your fingers gently, letting the soft movement pull you into your body. You are here. Let your lips spread into a smile across your face.
As you feel the stretch of your skin and the tightening of your cheek and then relax your face feeling the warm waves of relaxation. You are here in this body in this moment. Nothing that is flying around in you matters right now. Be here.
and tune in to the sounds around you. Your mind may want to label them, categorize them or explain them, but instead, just listen with your body, your heart, your soul. Listen to the orchestra of sound around you. Let the thoughts go and get out of your head
and instead be here in this moment with this breath with you. Namaste beautiful.
