Thank you for meditating with me today!

Meditation Script:

I encourage you during today’s guided meditation to position

yourself in front of a mirror, standing, seated, or lying down. Bring attention

to your breathing. Notice the rhythm, speed, depth of your breath. Watch your

belly and chest expand with your inhale, then pull to center with your exhale.

Find a couple more deep breaths here, noticing that slight pause at the top and

bottom of the breath.

Now, looking at your whole body, or eyes closed gently placing

your hands over your heart and belly, say to yourself, “I love you. I love you.

I love you.” Allow a smile to lift your cheeks. Allow whatever emotions arrive

to fill your whole being. Find another deep breath in, deep breath out. Again, observing

your body, or closing your eyes, wrapping your arms around your chest, giving yourself

a hug, say to yourself, “I love you. I love you. I love you.” Deep breath in,

deep breath out.

Shift your gaze to the parts of your body you can look

directly at. Notice your hands, fingers, wrists, arms, shoulders, chest, belly,

hips, legs, ankles, feet, toes. Move the body in whatever way feels good for

you in this moment. And once more, say to yourself, “I love you. I love you. I

love you.”

Now, move with a deep sense of self-love, innate

value, and love for your whole body, walking with authentic confidence into

your day. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace.

About the Podcast

The Meditation Well
Mini Guided Meditations for All
Each of us is a container for sensation, thought, emotion, and whole-body experience. Through guided meditation we can gain access to a deeper sense of peace and calm that exists deep within each of us. The more we meditate, the more we draw upon the well of calm within, increasing our ability to manage stress, regulate emotion, and focus.

Jess guides each 2-10 minute journey, drawing on her yoga + mindfulness meditation background to help empower all meditators from beginners to long-time practitioners to invite into their week a moment of deep observation, calm, and rest.

Join Jess 3 times per week in The Meditation Well.
