Calm Awareness Meditation - 5 Minutes

Hello,

Welcome.

I'm Carolyn Wallace and I'm so glad you've taken this moment for yourself.

This short meditation is here to help you pause,

Release tension and gently reset your mind and body with calm.

Now,

Please find a comfortable position,

Sitting or lying down and allow your eyes to close if that is okay and comfortable for you.

Let's begin with the breath.

Let's follow a pattern of 4,

2,

6.

Inhale for 4,

Hold for 2,

And then exhale for 6.

Let's begin.

Gently inhale through your nose for a count of 4.

Hold softly for 2,

And then exhale slowly through your nose for a count of 6.

Inhale 1,

Keep breathing in this rhythm at your own pace.

Inhale.

Imagine filling yourself up with love and breathe.

Exhale.

Imagine letting go of any stress or tension.

Say silently or softly aloud,

Thank you,

You may go now.

Feel your shoulders soften.

Feel the space in your chest opening.
