Thank you for meditating with me today!

Meditation Script:

During today’s meditation, I encourage you to keep a writing utensil and notebook close.

First, find a comfortable seated position. Find a deep breath in, noticing where you

may be holding unnecessary tension or effort, deep breath out, relax. Bring to

mind as many material objects in your life you are thankful for. Note shapes,

colors, textures, dimensions, weight, use. Allow your mind to wander from one

object to another. Say out loud or silently to yourself, “I am thankful for

[name an object]. I am thankful for___. I am thankful for___.

Now, opening your eyes if they’re closed, take a moment to write down those objects you

are thankful for. What specifically are you thankful for about these objects? Note

the shapes, colors, textures, dimensions, weight, use. Write a list or describe

the objects in paragraphs, perhaps noting memories associated with the objects.

As you write, continue those intentional deep breaths in and out through your

nose.

Feel free to pause here to continue writing or setting down your pen and paper, rest in a

comfortable seat, bringing your attention to any thoughts, emotions, and

physical sensations. Allow yourself to think, feel, be. Move through your day,

or into rest with a renewed appreciation for the objects in your life. 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.
