Thank you for meditating with me today!

Meditation Script:

Allow your

body to find a place of both ease and awareness, seated or lying down. Observe

the sounds around you, the smell of the air, any taste on your tongue, the feel

of the air on your skin, texture of your clothing, the firmness or softness of

the support beneath your body. Observe the space behind the eyes, the colors,

shapes, light, dark. Find a deep breath in, deep breath out.

Here, bring

to mind someone you are thankful for. Who first comes to mind? What memory or

memories arrive as you consider your gratitude towards this person? Bring to

mind their facial expressions and mannerisms. How do they speak to you? Recall

how you feel when you are around this person. Imagine being in their presence

now. Observe any ease in your body, ease in your mind, lightness of emotion. Bring

awareness to your physical, mental, and emotional space as you imagine

interacting with this person. Say to yourself, “I am thankful for [say their

name].” Find a deep breath in, deep breath out, and again say, “I am thankful

for…” Deep breath in, deep breath out, once more saying, “I am thankful for…”

Letting go the image of this person you are

thankful for, still holding onto the feelings of gratitude and ease this person

brings you, move with gratitude toward those you love 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.
