Welcome to today's short, guided meditation.
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, Spring has arrived.
Spring is a time of transition from the cold and harsh hibernation of winter...
To the gentle and soft new growth.
We are going to use this day as a moment of awareness...
Looking inward to the transitions happening within ourselves.
Find a comfortable position with eyes closed...
Consider moving outside if that's an option for you.
Connect with your breath...
The gentle rise and fall of your chest...
Feel where your body meets the surface you rest on...
The points of contact...
How gravity gently pulls your body.
Experience what is around you with any senses available to you...
You can listen for signs of spring...
Smell what is around you...
Or simply just feel what surrounds you...
Feel the breeze on your skin or the sun on your face...
Or even- if you are inside just the air as it pushes past you.
Allow yourself to experience the transitions around you...
The shifts in nature and in your community...
And turn this inward to acknowledge the shifts in you.
What is moving in you?
Do you feel inspired to create?
A longing to get outside?
Perhaps a desire to connect with others?
Take a moment to feel what is transitioning within you...
And send it love and respect.
Come back again to your body...
Connecting with your breath...
The air entering and exiting your lungs...
The points of contact where your body meets the surface you rest on...
Breathe deeply...
And exhale.
And whenever you are ready, slowly open your eyes.
