Begin 5 Minute Guided Meditation Script

Begin by sitting in a comfortable position, in a quiet place where you will not be interrupted. Take a moment to adjust your spine and your sit bones, bringing your body into a tall, proud position. Letting your shoulders roll back, opening up your heart. Place your palms in your lap facing upwards. 

Once you are comfortable, gently close your eyes and take a long, deep breath in through your nose, feeling your stomach expand. Your chest expands, and you can hold your breath at the top. 

When you're ready, exhale with a long audible sigh. And at the end of that breath, breathe in deeply one more time, holding it at the top. And when you're ready, let it all go with a sigh. 

At the end of this breath, just return to a regular pace, breathing into your nose and out through your mouth. Throughout this meditation, let all your awareness be on this present moment and your breath.

Anytime a thought about your day comes up, it's perfectly okay to not judge yourself or dwell on it; instead, just return your awareness to your breath. In your breath lies the deepest wisdom of your soul. You can drop into the moment, into your wisdom, and let go of everything that no longer serves. 

After a long day, it's time to return to your inner sanctuary, bringing all of your awareness into your heart center, the space in the center of your chest, and a couple of inches inwards. 

Let your breath be soft and gentle. As you focus on this space, let yourself surrender to your heart, to this present moment. Within this moment lie unending love, compassion, and wisdom. 

As you let go of the tensions of the day. You drop into your heart, into this present moment. Realigning and preparing yourself for a pleasant evening. Letting go. Centering, and from this space, feel the peace and centeredness. Let yourself bring to mind a word, thought, idea, or emotion that you desire to be your intention. 

Let yourself breathe into how it feels, express gratitude in your heart for this intention being true, and, when you're ready, take a deep breath in through your nose, welcoming it in. 

Exhale with force from your mouth. As you roll your shoulders, wiggle your fingers and your toes. Then when you're ready, open your eyes to the room around you.

"Be the person your soul wishes you to be." - Don Weyant
