In this meditation, we'll practice paying attention to a single focus point and bringing the mind back every time it wanders off.
Let's start by finding
a comfortable posture.
This could be sitting,
lying down or standing.
If it feels comfortable to do
so, you can close your eyes.
And we'll take a deep breath
together to settle in.
Breathing in through the nose.
And out through the mouth.
Inviting the jaw to relax.
Inviting the shoulders to be at ease.
And letting the belly
and the hands soften.
As the body relaxes more
deeply, you can let the breath
fall into its natural rhythm.
And to help feel the breath more vividly,
feel free to place one hand on your belly.
This tends to help us experience
the breath from the inside
out and the outside in.
Today's meditation is
going to be very simple.
We're just going to be focusing
on the breath and doing the
basic practice of every time the
mind wanders, we bring it back.
Mind wanders, we bring it back.
Wanders, bring it back.
Don't worry about doing a body scan.
Don't worry about open
presence, loving kindness.
Very simple, back to the breath.
This is the bicep curl for
the brain over and over.
There will be long spaces of
silence and periodically I'll
chime in to help keep you on track.
So bring your attention to your
breath and you can get started.
Just this breath, just this moment.
Continuing to keep the
attention on the breath.
Each time it wanders,
bringing that attention back.
So as we begin to wind down and close,
let's take one deep breath together.
In through the nose.
And out through the mouth.
And when you're ready, you
can let your eyes open again.
Okay.
So, great job.
Very simple practice today.
Just awareness of the breath.
In doing this you're training your
capacity for focus, presence and
deeper attunement to your life.
Thank you for your practice.
Until we talk again, take care.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.

So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.

I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
