Aware of your own abilities, do what you can andpause when you need. Feel free to do this meditation seated or standing, eyesopen or closed. First, let’s check in with our breath. Placing one hand overyour heart and one hand over your belly, begin to breathe deeply in and out throughyour nose. Notice your belly press to your hand as you breathe in, then pullaway from your hand as you breathe out. As you breathe in, notice the slightlift of your chest. Feel your chest soften and your heartbeat as you breatheout. Breathing in, reach your arms out, like the shape of a T. As you breathe out, close yourarms in front of your chest, reaching your fingers forward, drawing your bellyin, and round your back. Inhale, open your arms, look forward or up. Exhale,close your arms, looking down or in toward your belly button. Repeat this motiontwice more, moving with your breath. Feel the flexion of your spine as youstretch through your back on your exhale. Feel the stretch through your bellyand chest, extension of your spine as you inhale. Next inhale, reach your arms up. Exhale, bring your palms together at the center of your chest as in prayer. Twist to the right, rotating belly and chest, feeling the rotationof your spine. Reach your right hand behind you, left on your shin or over yourright thigh. Inhale return to center, reaching your arms up. Exhaling, releaseyour left arm out and down, reaching your right arm up and over to the left.Inhale, center, reaching your hands high. Exhaling, hands to prayer, twist tothe left. Breathe. Inhale, unwind, reaching your arms out and up. Exhaling,release your right arm down, left up and over to the right. Return to center,reaching both hands high, inhale. Hands to prayer. Place one hand over your heart, one hand on your belly. Breathe. Notice how you feel. What tension has released? Relaxing your arms, hands, and fingers, find one more deep breath in. Deep breath out. Flow into your day with a calm energy. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace.Written + Performed by Jessica Haessly
