This episode is brought to you by Pepsi Max. Christmas is great, but there's loads of ways to make it better.

Like sneaking some chili into the gravy for some extra oimp or build in a playlist that will even get your

nann up on the table or just cracking open an ice cold Pepsi Max.

Christmas. Better with Pepsi Max.

Welcome, my name is Lauren.

This meditation is just for sleep. So get into comfortable clothing and declutter and prepare your bedroom and climb into bed.

And when you are ready, when you are ready, we will begin.

Sit down or lie down comfortably and we will begin.

Breathe in and breathe in and breathe out.

Be aware of your surrounds.

Be aware of this moment right now.

You are okay. whatever has occurred and whatever may be occurring right now, you're okay right now. Breathe in and out and acknowledge the gift of this breath.

Each breath is a gift in itself.

Each breath demonstrates to us that we are alive, that we have the power of consciousness.

And we are autonomous,

compassionate human beings.
