Hello, welcome to Mindfulness Plus.

Thank you for downloading us today.

So every few weeks I do a little bit longer of a meditation and I cut down on the chitty-chitty chat.

So today I wanted to offer you a guided meditation, a bit of a tour through body,

mind, spirit. I like to think of this as a yogic stretch, but rather than stretching our bodies

like we would in a yoga practice, we stretch our awareness into the spaciousness of awareness itself,

which we don't often do moment to moment in our day,

but brings a lot of freedom, a lot of joy into life. The Take a moment to settle in,

Letting the intelligence

of the body

organize itself in a posture

that allows you to be awake,

alert,

but also soft,

relaxed.

Thank you. but also soft, relaxed. Then you can just breathe, letting the breath soften you, especially on the out breath. You can just notice the way the body tends to relax and let go.

The muscles tend to soften. I'd invite you in this practice to not try and feel a certain way as you practice, not try and get somewhere

with this meditation.

So much is just opening up to what's already here, what's actually so.

So, what's actually so. You just notice the body.

Notice the shape, the posture of the physical body. Notice sensation. The feel of the floor or the

or the pressure of the seat against your bottom, maybe your back.
