One minute meditation with @meguadrey
“Find yourself somewhere comfortable and quiet where you can sit. Clear your space, and bring your attention to your body.”
“Notice how you feel today, in your mind, with your thoughts in your body, without the need to change it.”
“Without any judgment, just notice how you feel. With each breath sending it deeper and lower into your stomach.”
“Releasing any tension in your jaw, take as long as you need here.”
“And when you are ready, give thanks for all that you already are and all that you already have.”
Namaste. <3
