Hi, it's Michael, and welcome back to another episode here on Letting It Settle Plus.

Your safe space to find a little calm in the storm of life and grab a few extra mindful moments each week.

I'm glad you're here and a part of this community. Your support

means the world, and I hope that this week's episode helps you to begin to release just a little.

On this week's episode, we talked about letting go and the practice of opening ourselves up to

what is to come, that magical thing that happens

when we open our hands and begin to let go of what we've been holding on to.

And so today I want to take you through an extended version of the meditation that was done

during the episode.

So just a reminder that these meditations are intended to be done in the

stillness and silence of a space that you can feel comfortable to close your eyes and settle

into this moment. So if you're anywhere that requires you to be mindful and aware, if you're

driving a car or your attention is elsewhere.

Maybe press pause and come back to this later.

Otherwise, let's begin with a deep breath in, and breathe out, and let it all settle. Now start by simply arriving here in this moment, in this body, and this practice today.

Start to allow for yourself to become aware of the breath, breathing in and breathing out, letting that air enter in through the nose and

sigh out through the mouth.

Breathing in and sighing out.

And then one more time, breathing in, and letting it all go.

Now start to let the breath return to its natural rhythm.

You don't need to control it or change it.

Just start to simply notice what it feels like to breathe in and breathe out.
