Greetings! I am so happy that you decided to join me today. This guided meditation will be focused on breath and body awareness. Please sit comfortably either on the floor or on a chair, Making sure that your spine is straight. If you opted for the chair, Plant your feet firmly on the floor and keep your legs together. You can place both hands in your lap, Putting one on top of the other with palms facing up and thumbs touching. This is a Dayana Mudra, A traditional gesture of contemplation. Please check if you are comfortable. This meditation will last 15 minutes and you should try to keep still for the duration of that time. A soft bell will announce the start and finish of the meditation. I will guide you by posing questions and giving some instructions. Please follow them until you will hear my voice again. Now if you are comfortable, Close your eyes and we will start. Concentrate at first on the sounds around you. Ask yourself, What do I hear? Is it a ticking of a clock?
