Hello my darlings and welcome to a guided meditation for focus and deep concentration.
If you have a specific task you wish to concentrate on today, use that task as your focus for
the meditation.
If not, you can focus on your breath.
Start off by finding a quiet space to sit.
Find a comfortable seated position with your hands relaxed on your lap, or at your sides.
You may wish to light a candle and keep your eyes open for this meditation, focusing on
the candle flame and remaining aware of the space you are in.
Or you may wish to close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in through the nose and slowly let it out.
We all breathe at a different rate, so find a comfortable breath for you.
As you begin to observe your breath, you may notice that it slows down.
Fill your lungs only as much as you are comfortable with, and exhale slowly.
First we will work on relaxation and then we will move on to focus.
Let your body relax with every exhalation of breath.
Relax your face muscles and your jaw.
Lower your shoulders and elongate your neck and spine.
Allow your limbs to become heavy and relax into the surface below you.
Fall into peace and stillness.
Be aware of movement with each breath.
How your chest rises and falls.
How your lungs expand and contract.
Find the pattern of your breath and use that to help you concentrate.
When thoughts or feelings come into your mind, acknowledge them, and let them pass.
You are fully capable of clearing your mind and focusing on your current task.
Any time your mind begins to wander, return your focus to your breath.
Deep concentration is about learning how to clear your mind.
You can do this by focusing on your breath by counting, repeating sounds, or mantras.
For this meditation, we will concentrate on breathing by counting ten breaths.
Because we all breathe at our own pace, I will not be counting numbers, but providing
ten affirmations for focus.
If you would like to focus on a specific task for the day ahead as we breathe through these
affirmations, feel free to use the important task for your day as your focus.

Smile and Slowly open your eyes and take in your surroundings.
Knowing that you have the focus and concentration to take on your day and your tasks.
You may use this meditation any time of the day to help calm your mind and improve your
concentration.
Your choice of focus can vary.
Allow yourself to experiment with different objects or methods and see which helps you
clear your mind the best.
This kind of meditation is not intended to cause stress.
If you find that your mind wanders, that is okay.
Do not allow yourself to become frustrated if you get distracted.
The more you practice clearing your mind, the easier meditation will become.
