Hello beautiful soul.
Thank you so much for being here with me.
My name is Victoria and I will be guiding you through today's meditation.
So let's get started by finding a comfortable position,
Whether that is seated or lying down.
Take a few moments to adjust your position or move your body in any way that will help it to settle into stillness.
And then if it feels okay,
Allowing the eyes to flutter shut or the gaze to soften down towards the earth.
And now start to bring your awareness to your breath.
Simply notice how your breath is showing up in your body right now.
Maybe it's deep and down into your belly or maybe it's short and shallow centered in your chest.
Tuning into your natural rhythm.
And now start to see if you can begin to deepen your breath.
Allow it to travel in through your nose,
All the way down into your belly,
Letting the belly expand like a balloon.
Take a few slow breaths,
Just like this.
A full inhale through the nose,
Down into the belly,
And a soft and steady exhale out the nose.
Start to create a connection with this slower pace of breath,
Expanding down into your belly.
And from here,
An invitation to invite a mantra into your practice by connecting it to your breath.
As you inhale,
Silently say to yourself,
I am.
I am.
As you exhale,
Calm,
Peaceful,
Relaxed,
Or anything else that resonates with you in this moment or what energy you would like to bring into this meditation.
So using this mantra to bring stillness to your mind.
Inhale,
I am.
Exhale,
Your mantra.
I will leave you here for a few breaths to start to create a relationship with this mantra.
Taking a moment to gently check in with your mind.
Noticing if it's traveled elsewhere.
And if it has,
Gently guiding it back to your breath.
Noticing the expansion with your inhale,
And the softening with your exhale.
And then guiding your mind back to your mantra.
Inhale,
I am.
Exhale,
Peaceful,
Calm,
Relaxed.
And keeping your mind and your breath connected to this mantra.
And we'll be here for about the next 10 slow breaths.
Take one last deep breath here with your mantra.
And then gently release your mantra.
Returning to your normal pace of breath.
Closing out this meditation with three deep cleansing breaths.
Inhale through your nose.
Exhale,
Sigh it out your mouth.
Again,
Inhale through the nose.
Exhale,
Sigh it out.
And one last time here together.
Start to bring in gentle movement through your fingers and toes.
Gently rock your head side to side.
And as you feel ready,
Softly fluttering your eyes open.
And welcoming yourself back into your body.
Into this space.
Thank you so much for taking time to meditate with me.
I hope you have an absolutely wonderful rest of your day.
