This is Mary Maddox with meditationoasis.com.

I'm sitting with my local guided meditation group

and we're going to do a meditation for

centering, very deep centering.

So let's close our eyes,

sit comfortably,

and take a moment to simply become aware of

what you're experiencing right now in this moment.

Where of whatever's happening, whatever you're feeling, thinking,

without resisting it or trying to change it,

and letting go of

any streams of thought that you seem to get caught up in.

Just easy, open awareness.

And bring your attention to your breathing.

Notice the sensation of the breath as it moves in and out.

What do you feel as you breathe?

Notice the breath,

how your body moves as you breathe.

Any time you notice that your mind has become

absorbed in thoughts, just let that go and come back to the breath,

or to the words I'm saying.

Easy, effortless awareness of breathing.
