Thank you for meditating with me today!

Meditation Script:

Observe the space you’re in. Are you indoors or outdoors? Look around your space.

Notice what you see. Either out loud or mentally name the objects in the space you’re

in. Notice the colors, shapes, textures. Reach out your hand to touch the

ground. Do you feel grounded, do you feel safe? However you are feeling in this

moment, find a few deep breaths in and out through the nose.

Feel free to close your eyes, listening to the sounds around you. Notice the temperature,

the warmth or cool of the air on your skin. As you breathe in, notice the

aromas that arrive in through your nostrils. Aware of whatever shelter protects

you from the elements, whatever shelter gives you space to rest and move and

live and be, say to yourself, “I am thankful for shelter.” Consider whatever

mental/emotional tools give you shelter from intrusive thoughts or rumination,

and again say to yourself, “I am thankful for shelter.” Finally, consider the

supportive people in your life who protect you from harm, support your wellbeing,

and advocate for your success. These supports are also a form of shelter. Once

more, say to yourself, “I am thankful for shelter.”

Bring awareness to the support beneath your body. Find a deep breath in, deep breath

out. And move into your day knowing where you can find shelter. Thank you for

meditating with me. Peace.
