The intention of this guided meditation is to help quiet the mind and calm the body.  On average we have 70,000 thoughts per day.  Combined with other stressors or many of life’s experiences, it can sometimes feel difficult to stay in the present moment without our minds wandering to the past or future.   When we have an opportunity to connect with our breath and tune into the present moment through meditation, the chatter in the back of our mind slowly begins to quiet down and feelings of serenity and peace begin to follow.  The more that we can practice these techniques, the easier it will become for us to live peacefully and in the present moment.

Before we begin, find a comfortable position.   This time if for you, all you have to do is just be. Take a deep breath in and during the exhale allow your body to fully sink into this position.  When you are ready, slowly close your eyes.
