Hello and welcome. We're so grateful you're here. Our meditation will begin shortly after a brief word from our sponsors who make these meditations available for free, for everyone.

Thank you so much for supporting the show. Hey it's Jody. In the hustle and bustle of life it's really easy to get lost.

So today we're going to take a few minutes to anchor ourselves in the present moment.

I hope you enjoy. joy. Let's begin by closing your eyes if you haven't already.

And go ahead and take a deep breath,

giving your body a bit of a pattern interrupt, a message for to stop and come inward. Take another deep breath in. And this time...

Take another deep breath in.

And this time, see if you can imagine all the air filling your body, all the way down to your toes.

And as you exhale,

feel the release of the day. Exhale.

Feel the release of the day.

The release of the past.

The release of anything that isn't here and now.

bring your breathing back to a comfortable rhythm and just stay here for a bit.

Breathe.

Be. being. You're going to be here. feel your body move aware of the miracle of its complexities.

Breathing for you.

Giving you breathing for you, giving you life. Let yourself dance with her rhythm in this moment. You're going to be here. Now become aware of what is around you without judgment.

No thoughts.

Just aware of what's there. You're going to be here. Now place your hand on your heart.

Letting the heat of your hand nourish your chest and take one deep breath in

expanding your belly as much as you can.
