Welcome to first this, a short mindfulness practice and message for any time.

I'm Catherine Nicolai, and I'm so glad you're here.

Please make yourself as comfortable as you can.

Sit or stretch your legs up a wall or lie down. If you feel like you might

fall asleep, well, that probably means you need some rest and 10 minutes of shut eye will likely benefit you more than meditation

so let go

let's take a deep breath

in through your nose

and sigh from the mouth

again nice and deep and deep and sigh from the mouth.

Again, nice and deep. And all the way out.

Good.

Notice how your body feels right now.

We're going to try to settle ourselves into the space between awareness and reaction.

So let's just start with the awareness bit.

And sometimes I think of this process,

kind of like walking through the rooms of my house,

and slowly room by room, turning on the lights.

So maybe start in your chest and shoulders.

Notice what you feel there.

Turn on the light there. and then travel into your arms and hands and hands

noting sensations Noting sensations.
