Welcome to your mindful moment.
Let's begin by taking a moment to settle your body into a comfortable position and close your eyes.
Today we will practice wishing ourselves and others well.
This can help us to improve our sense of connection to others and even bring happiness for ourselves.
Begin by taking a full breath in and a long slow breath out.
Now bring to mind someone that you care about.
Imagine them well and happy.
Say to yourself,
May they be well,
May they be happy.
And whatever other wishes you have for them,
Say them now.
Now with that same sense of care that you felt for another,
Invite a sense of well-being for yourself.
May I be well,
May I be happy.
And whatever other wishes you would like to offer to yourself,
Offer them now in a spirit of kindness and generosity.
Now staying with the breath,
Allow these offerings of kindness and goodwill to sink in.
Notice how it feels in the body.
And finish with a full deep breath in and a long slow breath out.
Gently and slowly open your eyes,
Returning your awareness to where you are.
Thank you for joining me in today's mindful moment.
