Hello,
This is Kelly and welcome to your 5 minute work break meditation.
If you found yourself here,
This is a great place just to take a few minutes to rest your eyes from your computer screens and your phone screens and just take a minute to refocus and relax and regroup before you move on to the rest of your work day.
So if you're sitting at your desk,
Please turn away from your computer screen,
Plant your feet squarely on the ground,
Place your hands gently in your lap and close your eyes.
Let's take a moment to take some deep inhales and exhales together,
Breathing in through our nose and then releasing through our mouth,
Just letting that breath be just that little bit longer out than the inhale.
So deep inhale together slowly and exhale.
Deep inhale and exhale.
And as we take another big deep inhale together,
I want you to imagine breathing in calm and peace and focus and exhaling any tension or frustration or distraction and just letting it go away with your breath.
Another deep inhale,
Ease and peace and calm and exhale any feelings of stress,
Anything weighing on your shoulders right now.
This is a moment just to let it go and let's take one more deep breath together and exhale.
And now just come back to your natural flow of breath.
You can anchor into your belly,
Feeling the rise and fall.
If it helps,
You can place your hand on your belly or on your chest over your heart center to help you focus on that rise and fall of your breath.
Perhaps you might feel the air going through your nostrils,
Crossing your upper lip.
Just take a moment to be present with that breath and that feeling of the rise and the fall.
Don't worry if there's other distractions creeping into your mind.
You can note them.
Just say,
I'll come back to you later.
No judgment.
Remember this is a practice.
Just keep coming back to your breath,
To that rise and that fall.
Just let a sense of peace move through the whole of your body with each breath,
Letting any tension release.
Let's take one big deep breath together again.
Deep inhale and as you exhale,
Let out every last bit of air.
And start to come back to the room,
Feeling the pulsing in your fingers and your toes,
Noticing the sounds around you.
And when you're ready,
You can open your eyes.
