Let’s come to a seat on your mat or on your
bed, hands on your knees. Close down the eyes.
Relax the hips and knees, allow the shoulderblades
to melt down your back.
We start with some simple, mindful movement,
to get the body ready for stillness.
Begin with shoulder rolls, drawing the shoulders
up and back, opening the chest, breathing
deep into the belly.
Wake up the spine with a relaxed, seated cat
cow. Inhale, open the chest, send your heart
forward. Exhale, round the spine, pull your
chest and navel in. Inhale, open the heart,
the collarbones, the throat. Exhale, come
back to center, head over heart and heart
over pelvis.
Take any small movement you need to get comfortable.
Eyelids are heavy. Settle into the present.
You may face your palms up or face down on
the knees, whatever feels right for you in
this moment.
Take a deep breath in through the nose, filling
the belly and then the chest. Separate the
lips, exhale everything through the mouth.
Inhale, inflate your entire torso. Exhale
audibly through the mouth, your body gets
lighter. Inhale, expand the belly, then the
chest. Exhale, release through the mouth,
let go of any thoughts and to-do lists.
Allow the breath to go back to normal. Bring
attention to your heart. See it beating in
your chest, bringing life to your entire body,
feel its warmth. Visualise your heart radiating
light which gets brighter and bigger with
each heartbeat. See this light filling your
chest, your whole body, the space around you.
Keeping your attention on your heart space,
repeat this mantra silently in your mind.
I open my heart. I am exactly where I need
to be. I radiate light and peace.
I open my heart. I am exactly where I need
to be. I radiate light and peace.
When the time comes, you will be guided out
of the meditation by hearing a soft bell.
Continue repeating silently in your mind:
I open my heart. I am exactly where I need
to be. I radiate light and peace.
I open my heart. I am exactly where 
I need to be. I radiate light and peace.
Recognise the feeling this mantra brought
to you. Notice any energy shifts, any sensations
in the body. Wiggle the fingers and toes,
come back to the space you are in. Inhale
your arms overhead, exhale, bring your hands
in prayer in front of the heart. Bow the head
down, stretching the back of the neck. Namaste.
May you have a beautiful day, full of blessings.
Remember, the source of your joy is within.
