A contemplation and meditation in our innate interconnectedness with all life and with awareness itself.
So just beginning to settle in and
get comfortable for this meditation.
And as you begin to settle in,
if it feels right for you, just
allowing the eyes to close.
And as a support to arriving and settling
here a little more fully, Just taking
three deep, slow, full breaths now.
So breathing in, really filling
the lungs with air on the inhale.
And breathing out and with each
exhale, seeing if you can get a sense
of allowing any tension or tightness
to soften a little bit and let go.
So just taking two more breaths
like that in your own time now.
And at the end of this next
exhale, just letting go of
any control of the breathing.
But continuing to follow the feeling
and the flow of the breath in your body.
Just attending to it as the breath
moves in its own natural way.
And feeling this rhythm, this cycle
of the breath moving in your body.
So this rhythm that you're experiencing,
that you're witnessing in your own
body is also intrinsic to all life.
From the beating of the tiniest bacteria,
to the beating of your heart, to this
cycles of photosynthesis and respiration
in all plant life, to the rhythms of
waking and sleeping that all bodies share.
And these rhythms of the living world
are embedded within larger and larger
rhythms of the cycle of the planet, the
ebb and flow of the tides, the cycles
of night and day and the seasons.
From the moment that we are born
to the moment that we die, we are
entwined with the rhythms of life.
And all of this is just happening
of its own accord, unfolding
effortlessly moment by moment,
in its own time, in its own way.
And every conscious breath that we
take as we observe this rhythm, they
can be a reminder of our inherent
interconnectedness to all life.
So just continuing to feel the
flow of that rhythm in the body
for a few more moments here.
And as this practice begins to draw to
a close, taking a deeper breath in now.
Deep, slow breath in.
And as you breathe out, beginning
to wriggle fingers and toes.
And notice how your mind and body are
feeling after this short meditation.
And opening the eyes.
And as you go about the rest
of your day, just remember that
the breath is always with you.
So you can always tune into it as
a way of returning to the present
moment and a sense of belonging,
interconnection, and wholeness.
Wishing you a great day.

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.

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.
