Hey there, my friend. Welcome to Wake me up and to this very simple and straightforward guided mindfulness meditation.

It gets so overcomplicated sometimes.

But meditation really is a very simple process and it's life changing.

The goal is just to sit, relax, and exist exactly as you are for a few moments.

It has an amazing ability to create calm and this sense of equanimity or balance within yourself.

So whatever you may have heard about meditation and how it's supposed to be done, just put it aside for a moment.

Open your heart and your mind to a new experience and just see how you like it.

Begin by finding a comfortable position.

Maybe that's sitting or lying down.

Don't worry too much about what it looks like.

Rather, focus on what it feels like.

What's most important is that you're comfortable.

So make that the priority.

And once you've settled into that position,

just take a nice deep breath in,

filling up all the way into your lungs, and then expanding the diaphragm down

into the belly. Hold for just a second, and then exhale, release. And as you let that air fall back out, you can gently close your eyes.
