A Calming Meditation
Before beginning think of a phrase (a mantra) like “I am peaceful” or “I am safe.” Relax. Do a body scan. Becoming aware of each part of your body, check for any place that's tight or stiff, soften those areas. Become aware of your breath. As you inhale, inhale a sense of warmth and opening. As you exhale, exhale love. Do this for several breaths. Release and relax more. If thoughts bother you, repeat your mantra or focus on your breath. Do this until your meditation is complete.
