Well thank you for thank you for joining me today and thank you for giving me the honor of guiding you you haven't done so already I invite you to take off any glasses turn any devices on to to mute even maybe turning their screen over so you can't see them just letting yourself settle in letting yourself feel whatever it is that's beneath you letting yourself feel your body and your own breath invitation is to close down your eyes if that feels right for you but if it doesn't I encourage you to soften your gaze and look downwards so as not to consume any new stimulus doing here is processing and catching up and what we've already got feels right just starting to guide the breath further down into the belly feeling the belly rising with each inhale falling with each exhale they're passing through your throat through your chest to your belly all the way back out again continuing with slowly and steadily breathing feeling your belly fresh air ring that this is an effortless form of meditation if at this meditation we don't try and focus on only one thing I try and still our minds don't force ourselves in any direction this meditation we stopped trying working until nurse and care to come back to the anchor I mean when we notice that we've been thinking feels right starting to extend your exhale that it's longer than your inhale you're not being precise just having an intention for your exhale to be longer than your inhale just slightly straining in any way exhaling to the point of discomfort as the slightly longer exhale and inhale each length and exhale your body softening and sinking in to the support beneath you imagining any excess tension in a way lengthen out of the process judging forcing done nothing wrong you get choice to come back to the anchor right now is the breath the exhale into the guidance I doubt we were up to you if you forgot keeping your eyes closed and let your breath return to a natural rhythm winning me now we scan through the body of anything you might be holding on to a softening or releasing and feeling heavier on top of your neck shoulders slump further away from your ears allowing your back to sink further into whatever it is that's beneath you natural easy rhythm of your breath flow of anything you're holding in your hips length of your legs being absorbed into gravity as an observer watching your body being in your space feels right placing one hand on top of the other in a nurturing sort of way oh you're reaching over to someone that you love someone that you care for putting your hand on theirs listening a connection between your two hands as your anchor you've been thinking feel like you have a choice being away with thoughts to your two hands air and the compassion between ever is happening inside of you is perfect oh you're in your hands or freely however they play it's resting last few minutes allowing the effects of meditation to slowly sink in to do here but rest you know when it's time gradually starting to deepen your breath now feeling whatever the tips of your fingers are pressing against noticing again the soles of your feet they can feel swiveling your toes and your fingers feels right stretching your head from side to side posed for as long as you need to will you come back to your body coming aware of your space once again my name is Amanda been an honor guiding you today
