Hi, it's Michael, and welcome back to another episode hereon, 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, in a part of this community. Your support means the world.

And I hope today's episode helps you to calm those racing thoughts and find a little stillness

in your day. On this week's episode of the podcast, we talked about what to do when your mind won't

stop racing. In those moments where your mind

is carrying you in all directions to the future to the past and what we can do to help stop

those racing thoughts. So today I'd like to guide you through an extended meditation from that

episode, which is going to help you to quiet the mind,

find the stillness, and be present to this moment. So just a reminder that these

meditations are intended to be done in the stillness and silence of a space where

you can find calm and stillness without being distracted.

So if you're anywhere that requires you to be mindful or aware,

if you're driving a car, anywhere that needs your attention,

maybe press pause and come back to this later.

But if not, let's start with a deep breath in and breathe out.

And let it all settle.

And then go ahead and close down your eyes or just stay here with me.

And start to bring all your attention and awareness to the body.

Feeling into what it feels like to be present to this moment.

Letting your shoulders drop.

Letting yourself sink down into whatever's beneath you.
