We take a brief 2-minute pause to draw our attention to the natural rhythm of our inhalations and exhalations. By doing so, we anchor ourselves in the present moment, cultivating mindfulness and a sense of calm amidst our busy lives.

So begin settling in.

One of the biggest misconceptions in meditation is that you believe that you need to be doing something or achieving something when in reality,

All we're doing is just being in this present moment.

So begin to take a deep inhale and exhale,

Breathing in through your nose,

Filling up your lungs,

And then releasing.

And as you release,

Feeling your body soften here.

Taking another inhale.

And then if you haven't done so already,

On your next exhale,

Just closing your eyes and just starting to notice what's coming up for you.

Training the brain to recognize when thoughts come in and distractions take us away from the present moment.

And then slowly recognizing that and bringing our attention back to the sensation of our breath and our body grounding down wherever we're seated.

Taking one final inhale together,

Breathing in.

And then exhaling.

As you begin to wiggle your fingers and flutter your eyes open.

Thank you.

This was excellent! I’m still new to meditation but in my earliest days I felt like such a failure because I didn’t k it what to do during meditation or what was supposed to happen or be the outcome. Since being guided to messages like this I feel such relief to know there’s no wrong way. Just be present and let Spirit guide me. Thank you so much!!!

That was so neat! I usually really struggle with being in the moment and this was a big help towards learning to do that and stopping my mind from spinning! Thank you!😊

For me it'd be even easier to be *purely* guided *into* the present moment - the number one reason I listen to guided meditations.
