All you need is a 1% shift. If you think about a straight line, changing it by just 1% totally changes the trajectory of that line. This is what this meditation is - a 1% shift. A quick shift that you can do even when "meditating" feels like too much - or too much to do consistently. In this quick meditation, we'll be scanning our bodies together and taking calming breaths. Join me and see yourself change. Because 1% is always enough to get the ball rolling.

Hey friend welcome to your meditation.

Today we're going to just breathe together for a few moments to reset to allow you get back to your day.

So let's take a breath in and a breath out.

Every time we focus on that out breath and getting all the air out of your lungs it's one of the easiest ways to connect to your vagus nerve,

The nerve that helps your body calm down.

We're just going to take some conscious breaths here just noticing how your body's feeling.

Another breath in and out.

Notice where the tension is today.

Is it in your hips?

Is it in your chest?

Is it in your back?

Maybe it's your forehead.

Just pay attention to what feels tense today.

Maybe it's your feet.

Just noticing there's no right answer.

There's nothing that you have to change.

We're just paying attention to your body,

Checking in.

And now let's pay attention to what feels good in your body.

Where is there spaciousness?

Is there any tingliness?

Any brightness?

Maybe it's in your sinuses or your belly or your legs.

Maybe even your hands.

Just noticing how your body feels.

If there's any good feelings in there too.

Taking one more breath in and a breath out.

This is the power of just noticing where we're at,

How we're feeling,

What's going on in our body.

Sometimes this is all we need.

A 1% shift to shift our day.

All right,

I'll see you next time.
