Welcome! I am always so grateful to have you here.
In this quick guided meditation you are encouraged to take a Brain Break! Perfect for those short on time, or who can find it difficult to sit still for longer periods, this meditation helps to make space in the mind and put down some of the heaviness of your day.
As always, I hope it helps!

Welcome to your meditation. Find a spot where you can sit or lie down comfortably. No need to be perfectly still. Just let yourself settle in. Take one deep breath in through your nose and let it out with a sigh. Now notice three things you can feel. Maybe the chair beneath you, your hands where they're resting, the hair on your neck. Just name them in your mind. Next, notice two sounds around you, big or small. Let them come and go without needing to focus too hard. And now notice one thing about your breath. Is it fast, slow, deep or shallow? Just observe. Let your whole body soften and settle even further. Release your jaw, drop your shoulders. Just let your whole body feel heavy. Before we go further, let's make space for your thoughts. For the next minute, allow your mind to spill out everything it wants to say. You don't have to solve anything. Just let your thoughts tumble out like emptying a basket. Anything from the day you've been holding on to, you're going to release them now. Imagine each thought landing gently in a container beside you, safe and stored away. If new ones keep coming, that's okay. Just add them to the pile. Take a slow breath in, and then a long exhale out. Notice how it feels to have put those thoughts down, even just for now. We're ready to release even further now. Imagine the day you've had as a backpack that you've been carrying. Take a moment to picture setting that backpack down beside you. You don't need to open it. Just let it rest there. Feel how much lighter you are without it. As you breathe here, say silently to yourself, right now I am safe. Right now I am present. Right now, all that I am is enough. Take two more deep breaths, letting your body soften a little more each time. When you're ready, gently wiggle your fingers and open your eyes, returning with a calm presence and feeling so much lighter than when we started.
