you can begin again. Welcome. I'm Lauren. Welcome to this guided meditation for resilience,

for helping you sleep, relax and to help you heal. Because you can begin again.

Before we start, select a space in which you can practice. This can be anywhere which

is safe and comfortable, a space in which you can lie down or sit with your back straight.

We're comfortable, loose, clothing. And when you are ready, we will begin. Sit down or lie

down comfortably and we will begin. This practice will start with quiet speaking and will

evolve into a relaxing meditation. As you move through this meditation, keep a

front of mind that it is not about these words. It is about your attitude and what you choose to

heal and how you choose to process. Choosing how to feel, choosing how to think is not easy. It is in

itself a practice and practice requires practice and self acceptance along the way. Come into this

space. Notice where you are, whether you are lying. Straighten your back out, lengthen your back. If you are sitting,

align yourself. Set an intention for this practice. You are the driver of your own mind. Decide what you

want from this practice. As you set an intention, release your body. Let your body go, release it.

Release your physical form. As you release your physical form,

feeling the awareness of the union between body and consciousness. The inseparable union between your

physical form as the portal to your mindful awareness. We are fluid.

Each of us has the ability to reinvent ourselves. We are, innately, resilient. We can move through loss and

change. That is the way we are designed. It may not be easy. It is possible. Every morning when you wake,

each new moment, each new hour, you have the choice to reinvent yourself. You have the ability to choose who

you are and choose your becoming. You are not defined or limited to being a certain person.

With each moment comes growth, awareness and the possibility of seeing your life differently.

When you choose to see your life differently, you become a different person. This is a skill.
