Welcome to day 21.
Today's meditation is gratitude for breath,
Body,
And mind.
When you are ready,
Please come to a comfortable seated position.
Begin to take full deep breaths in through the nose.
Allow yourself to release the shoulders down.
Take a few moments with the attention on the breath.
Settling into a neutral upright posture.
Allow your belly to soften.
Pull your shoulders back ever so slightly.
And lower the chin down so the back of the neck is neutral and long.
And with awareness of breath and posture,
Begin to intentionally generate a deep sensation of gratitude for the breath itself.
As you watch,
Notice the breath moving in and out through the nose.
Remember how precious this one breath is.
And this next one too.
Invite in the spaciousness of awe and wonder as you sit with the next three to five cycles of breath.
And then draw the attention to your heart.
Feel the heartbeat.
Perhaps it is quiet enough that you can even hear the sounds of your heart beating.
Still aware of the breath but noticing,
Listening to the heart.
Inviting in awareness of the miracle of the heartbeat.
As we sit with this noticing.
Still aware of the breath and the heartbeat.
Draw the awareness to the form of your human body.
Here.
Functioning.
Breathing.
Heart beating.
Noticing whatever it is that arises.
When we notice the unique form of our human birth.
Here in this human body you have everything you need to awaken.
You have everything you need to find happiness,
Contentment,
And joy within.
There is infinite capacity within you.
Infinite capacity for awareness and gratitude.
The breath breathing.
The heart beating.
A mind that can notice,
Understand,
Feel,
Discern.
A mind whose capacity for awareness,
Understanding,
And growth is infinite.
A mind whose capacity for noticing its true nature is right here.
Right now.
In your hands.
Smile on the breath.
Smile on the heartbeat.
Invite in love for this body.
And kindness towards this mind.
Rest here.
Remembering you have everything you need.
Resting in gratitude for all.
And as the mind.
With its infinite capacity.
Tries to draw you away.
Keep coming back to the wonder of this one breath in.
This one breath out.
The magic of the heartbeat.
The beauty in being here.
If you have some more time to spend here today,
Please give yourself permission to take it.
It has been such an honor,
Such a privilege sitting with you these last few weeks.
I truly hope you have enjoyed these recordings,
These sessions.
Wishing you a most wonderful rest of your day.
And a beautiful next 21 days.
Feeling free to return to these recordings any time you need them.
And know that I will always be here for you.
Rest easy,
My friends.
