Meditation Script:

Position your body in whatever way feels most comfortable for you. Feel fully supported

and surrendered to the support beneath your body. Bring awareness to sensations

in your body. Are you holding tension in your neck and shoulders? Invite

movement. Breathe. Relax. Are you holding tension in your face, fingers, or

toes. Invite movement. Breathe. Relax. Wherever you may be holding tension, imagine

breathing into that space, then relax whatever you can. Notice your thoughts

and emotional space. As you become aware of what thoughts and emotions arrive,

take a moment to reflect on your day. What activities did you engage in? Where

did you go? With whom did you connect? Were there moments of ease in your day?

Stress? Recall your physical, mental, and emotional space throughout the day.

Did you feel calm and relaxed, on edge and tense, excited and full of energy,

drained or exhausted? Breathe. Notice any tension that arrives as you reflect

on your day. Where can you soften in this moment? What can you let go?

In this moment of reflection, recall where you felt supported. How were you supported?

Recall where you supported others. How did you offer support? How did it feel

to be supported or offer support? Extend gratitude to something in your day

that you are thankful for. Extend gratitude to yourself for giving yourself

permission to reflect and rest. Find a deep breath in, filling up your belly

with breath, feeling front and back ribs expand. Deep breath out, feeling your

belly draw slightly in, ribs return to center. Soften through your chest and

back, belly and hips, shoulders and face, hands and fingers, feet and toes.

Imagine gathering the activities of your day into your hands. Feel the heaviness

or lightness of today’s events. However heavy or light, find a deep breath in,

imagine passing today’s events from your hands to a large, puffy cloud that descends

from the sky, wraps round your hands, and carries away today’s cares, allowing

you lightness and rest in this moment. Let go. Breathe. Enter into the next phase

of your day with a greater sense of freedom and ease. Thank you for meditating

with me. Peace.
