Welcome to finding joy in the present moment.
Steven Webb:
00:00:07
First of all, just find a comfortable spot or a comfortable position that you are
Steven Webb:
00:00:13
going to relax into over the next five minutes or so.
Steven Webb:
00:00:20
And then just bring your attention to your breath.
Steven Webb:
00:00:25
You don't have to do anything with your breath. Just breathe in calm and breathe out. Relax. Relax
Steven Webb:
00:00:35
And as you breathe out, just allow your body to relax into this moment.
Steven Webb:
00:00:42
Allow your shoulders and your face. Your neck and the rest of your body.
Steven Webb:
00:00:49
All your body knows how to relax. You don't have to get involved. You just have to invite the different
Steven Webb:
00:00:57
areas to go ahead and relax and they know how to do it.
Steven Webb:
00:01:23
And I invite you to just be aware that this moment does have some joy and
Steven Webb:
00:01:31
it's just waiting to be discovered.
Steven Webb:
00:01:35
And as we turn our attention fully to our breath and notice the natural rhythm.
Steven Webb:
00:01:57
And with each inhalation, just visualize joy as light entering the body.
Steven Webb:
00:02:06
And as you exhale, just imagine releasing any barriers to joy you have at the moment
Steven Webb:
00:02:26
or even in joy in the light
Steven Webb:
00:02:31
and releasing any pockets of tension that may be preventing it.
Steven Webb:
00:02:39
And you'll feel your body is a little lighter
Steven Webb:
00:02:45
And you may start shifting your focus more towards your chest and your heart.
Steven Webb:
00:02:55
And if you gently move your focus to your senses,
Steven Webb:
00:03:00
What can you hear?
Steven Webb:
00:03:06
What can you feel?
Steven Webb:
00:03:11
What can you smell or taste right now?
Steven Webb:
00:03:26
And just acknowledge that these senses are gifts. That
Steven Webb:
00:03:31
you have in this present moment.
Steven Webb:
00:03:34
And they enable you to do such amazing things.
Steven Webb:
00:03:41
Your ability for your heart to feel.
Steven Webb:
00:03:58
And as you feel deeply, this affirmation. In this moment, I am open to joy.
Steven Webb:
00:04:08
In this moment, I am open to joy.
Steven Webb:
00:04:18
In this moment, I can feel joy.
Steven Webb:
00:04:25
In this moment, I can feel joy.
Steven Webb:
00:04:43
And now if you just express gratitude for this moment and really appreciate that finding peace in this
Steven Webb:
00:04:51
simplicity that we just done, just by breathing in calm and being open to joy,
Steven Webb:
00:04:59
we can just feel it in this moment. And
Steven Webb:
00:05:03
we can fill our bodies with light and joy. And we can recognise the senses and what joy they can
Steven Webb:
00:05:09
bring us.
Steven Webb:
00:05:14
And this moment is everything it needs to be.
Steven Webb:
00:05:19
It is whole just the way it is.
Steven Webb:
00:05:27
And if you've got your eyes closed, just gently open your eyes and shake out your arms and welcome back
Steven Webb:
00:05:33
to this moment and thank you for spending a few moments with me.
Steven Webb:
00:05:38
