Thank you so much for being here. To this guided meditation where we will cultivate stillness and fully surrender to it. Before you begin this meditation, take a moment to silence any distractions around you, allowing yourself the next few moments to be complete. completely yours. When you are ready, gently close your eyes and allow your body to comfortably settle into the surface beneath you. Feeling the weight of your body on the surface, knowing your body to fully relax, releasing any muscles in your face, relaxing your jaw, allowing your shoulders to drop away from your ears, your chest and your abdomen, your hips,

thighs, your knees, your shins and your feet, knowing your body to feel heavy in this moment. Shift your awareness to your breath and begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose to the count of four, pausing at the top of your breath for a count of seven and exhaling fully through your mouth to the count of eight. If you cannot reach these numbers, then don't worry, don't force yourself. Just do the best that you can. Feeling to the count of four, pausing to the count of seven, and exhaling to the count of eight. By doing this kind of breathing cycle, you are signaling your nervous system that it is okay to relax, that you are safe. With each breath, feel yourself sinking deeper into the moment and further away from your external world.

As you continue to breathe deeply and slowly, imagine your mind as a spinning wheel, perhaps it is still spinning quickly, filled with thoughts and distractions. But notice how with each breath the wheel begins to slow down, slower, and slower, inhaling to the count of four, pausing to the count of seven, exhaling to the count of eight. When you feel ready, back to the natural rhythm of your breath, into the rhythm of your heartbeat, the steady drumming that echoes throughout your body, feel the pulse of life coursing through you, connecting you to the infinite rhythm of the universe. With each breath, become aware of the the flow of prana, the life force energy that animates your being, feel it moving through you,

like a gentle breeze flowing through a field of wildflowers, nourishing and revitalizing every cell and fiber of your being. As you surrender to the stillness within, allow yourself to fully immerse in the present moment. This moment, right here, right now, is where life is fully experienced. There is nothing to do, nothing to achieve, and nowhere to be. Just the pure essence of being is more than enough. Belize any thoughts of the future or of the past. They do not exist in this moment, just being here.

in the stillness of the now. Feel the beauty and the pureness of this moment wash over you like a wave, filling you with a sense of profound peace and contentment in this moment of stillness. You are whole. You are complete. Just as you are.

A moment of stillness, surrendering fully to it. Back to your breath when your mind. begins to wander back to your body back to the now no matter how many times you may have to do this show yourself compassion and grace as you continue to bring your awareness back to the now take a few moments to simply be to bask in the beauty of the present moment when you're ready gently begin to bring your awareness back to your surroundings wiggling your fingers and your toes. Know that you can return to this place of stillness and tranquility

whenever you need to find peace from the noise and distractions of the world. It is always here within you, waiting to be rediscovered, surrender to it, embrace it, and allow it to guide you on a journey. Peace. Stillness and surrender. Wishing you peace and love. Namaste.
