Hello.
Welcome.
I love that you're here,
Taking some time for yourself,
Even if it's just for a few minutes.
Be proud of yourself for this.
This is the way to start building your practice of giving some time to reconnect with yourself.
If you're not sitting down with your feet planted on the ground,
Do so now.
Let's begin.
Keep your eyes open.
Let's roll our tailbone and pelvis back,
Arching your back and leaning slightly forward.
Push your shoulders back while you take a big inhale for 1,
2,
3.
Hold.
Exhale for 6,
Curling your pelvis forward,
Rounding your back,
Roll your shoulders forward.
Let's do that again.
Let's roll our tailbone and pelvis back,
Arching your back,
Leaning slightly forward,
Rolling your shoulders back.
While you take a big inhale for 1,
2,
3.
Hold.
Curl your pelvis forward,
Roll your shoulders forward,
Round your back,
And exhale for 6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Sit back normally and breathe normally.
Lower your chin slightly so your gaze falls on the intersection where the wall and the floor meet.
Be mindful of your thoughts.
You may have had a number of demands today and your attention split.
When too much is going on,
You may feel overwhelmed.
Imagine your third eye,
The intersecting point from both behind your eyes and the top of your head.
There's a point of light there.
Take a big inhale.
Expand that point of light into a bright sunburst.
Warm golden light fills your head.
Hold.
Let's take a long,
Deep exhale for 6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Watch the rays fade and the light gets smaller to a point of light.
Focus your gaze between your eyes,
Inward to your third eye.
Breathe normally.
Setting a time and separate space to sit quietly to meditate at the beginning and at the end of the day is ideal to create a habit.
What about the rest of the day?
Not everyone you encounter during the day will be considerate,
Kind,
Or friendly.
Nor can you avoid situations.
How do you practice peace?
You practice and remind yourself that you are a peaceful soul.
Meditation is active.
Keeping your eyes open allows you to meditate on harmony and peace and your thoughts almost anywhere at any time.
Catch your negative thoughts and gently reset.
This is how you build your tolerance.
Initially,
You may find that you never pay attention until you're already overwhelmed.
When you acknowledge your feelings and thoughts,
Just replace the chatter.
Don't evaluate yourself.
Don't judge.
Just allow for a more comfortable thought or thoughts.
I am peace.
I am capable.
I am stable.
Bring your focus back to the point of light,
Your third eye.
On the inhale,
Big inhale,
Allow the light to expand.
Release your tongue from the roof of your mouth.
Allow it to rest behind your lower teeth.
As you exhale,
Watch the light fade to a point of light.
Breathe normally.
As you apply your meditation practice,
You will become more aware.
You'll check in with your thoughts more often and you'll build a tolerance from getting absorbed in all the stimuli around you.
It does take practice,
But this is how you change your habit of defaulting to anxiety or feeling stressed.
I invite you to be still,
My friend.
You are the creator of your thoughts.
Create a positive thought.
We can highlight being peaceful.
Repeat,
I choose to be peaceful.
I am peaceful.
Allow that energy to flow outward.
Take a big inhale.
And a deep exhale.
Check in with your thoughts throughout the day.
Maybe set an alarm at random times during the day to remind you to check in until it becomes a habit.
Remind yourself,
I control my thoughts.
I control my reactions.
I am peaceful.
I am capable.
You have shown up differently.
Well done.
This was your day five.
