Transcript

Welcome to this brief three-minute guided meditation to help you find calm and focus whenever you need it.

You can keep your eyes open for this meditation or gently close your eyes.

And take a moment just to bring your attention into your body.

Notice the points of contact your body is making with whatever is beneath you.

Then bring your attention inward by taking a few slow,

Deep breaths.

Breathing in through your nose,

Slowly and steadily,

Taking a nice,

Slow sip of air in.

And through your nose again,

Gently exhale,

Slowly letting air out.

Breathing in again,

Feeling the expansion of your chest and ribs and belly as you inhale.

And then slowly exhaling,

Letting go.

Breathing in and breathing out.

This time notice how when you breathe in,

You fill your body with air.

Feel a sense of openness and spaciousness as you inhale.

And as you exhale,

Feel a sense of letting go,

Of releasing tension or tightness in the body.

Allow your body to soften and relax.

Breathing in,

Openness and spaciousness.

And as you exhale,

Letting go.

One more time,

A nice,

Slow,

Deep inhale,

Breathing in and breathing out.

And then simply let go of all control of your breathing,

Bring your attention to your whole body and simply notice how you feel.

Feel your feet on the ground or your body in the chair.

Take in this moment of calm.

Notice how it feels to simply be where you are,

To be present.

And that's it.

You did it in just three minutes.

You can find focus and calm anytime you need it.

Thanks for joining me for this meditation.

Take good care of yourself and have a beautiful day.
