Welcome. Find a comfortable position, either seated or lying down. Let your hands rest gently. Allow your eyes to close, or soften your gaze downward.
Take a moment to arrive. Feel the weight of your body settling. Notice where you are supported, by the floor, by a chair, by the earth beneath you.
Now bring your attention to your breath. Do not change it. Simply notice it. Feel the air moving in through your nose, cool and fresh. Feel it moving out, warm and soft.
Notice where you feel your breath most clearly. It might be at the tip of your nose. It might be the rise and fall of your chest. It might be the gentle expansion of your belly.
Wherever you feel it most, let your attention rest there. Follow one full breath. In. And out.
Your mind will wander. This is natural. When you notice it has drifted, gently return to your breath. No judgment. Just return.
Feel the rhythm of your breathing. Each inhale is a new beginning. Each exhale is a letting go.
If your mind is busy, that is okay. You are not doing this wrong. Simply notice the thoughts, and let them pass like clouds. Then come back to the breath.
Let your breath become soft and easy. There is nowhere to be but here. Nothing to do but breathe.
Feel this breath. This one, right now. It is the only one that matters.
Notice how your body feels. Perhaps there is a sense of calm. Perhaps there is restlessness. Whatever is here, let it be here. Breathe with it.
You are anchored in this moment. The breath is your anchor. Whenever you feel lost, you can return to it.
Take one more deep breath in. And slowly, let it go.
Gently bring your awareness back to the room. Feel your hands. Feel your feet. When you are ready, open your eyes. Carry this calm with you.
