Meditation Script:

Seated or lying down, find a comfortable place to be in your

body. As you inhale, notice where in the body you may be holding unnecessary tension

or effort. As you exhale, soften. Notice where you can release tension.

Here, bring to mind a place you are thankful for. This might

be a place within your home, in your neighborhood, or a vacation spot. Whatever

this place is, whether indoor or outdoor, bring to mind what you see in this

place. What objects, shapes, colors, textures. Are there people? Animals?

Plants? Are you alone?

Notice what you hear. What sounds exist in this space? Is

there more silence or noise? Observe any scents you notice in this space. Bring

to mind the heaviness or lightness aromas in the air. Observe any memories that

arrive as you bring to mind what you smell in this place you are thankful for. Are

there tastes associated with this place? What, if anything, do you taste? Notice

what you can feel or touch in this place. Observe the air on your skin. How

does it feel? Is it hot, cold, warm, cool?  

Bring to mind the movement of your body in this place. Is this

a place you walk around in, or are you seated or lying down? How are you moving

your body or being still? How do you feel in the place?

Now, say to yourself, “I am thankful for [name the place].” Find

a deep breath in, deep breath out. Again, say to yourself, “I am thankful for…”

Breathe in, breathe out. And once more, say to yourself, “I am thankful for…”

Inhale, fill the belly up with the breath. Exhale

completely, feeling the belly pull gently in. Letting go the image of this

place you are thankful for, bring movement to your body. Gently blinking open your

eyes, move into your day thankful for those places that bring you a sense of

joy, peace, safety, and love. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace.
