If you'd like to make mindfulness part of your everyday routine, be sure to subscribe, and together we'll take these moments of calm one day at a time. Welcome back. Please find a comfortable position... Softly close your eyes... And allow yourself to feel supported. We’re going to connect with the sky today. So let’s begin by taking a deep, open breath in... And a long, expansive breath out. As you breathe, imagine you’re breathing in the vastness of the sky. Keep breathing. The sky is always there. Vast and open... No matter what is happening within it. I want you to imagine your mind as the sky. The thoughts and feelings that pass through are the clouds... The rain... And the sun. The clouds may be dark and stormy... But the sky itself is never hurt by them. Inhale the vastness of your inner sky... And exhale, letting the weather of your mind simply pass through. Feel the peaceful spaciousness of your inner sky. This is your true nature. Vast. Open. Calm. Take a final expansive breath. As you exhale, gently bring your awareness back to the room. And whenever you’re ready, softly open your eyes... Carrying this sense of space with you throughout the day. That concludes today’s session. If you find these daily meditations helpful, please give us a subscribe. We’ll see you tomorrow.

I invite you to imagine a scale in your mind. And on one side, you can place a stress or worry from your day. What’s weighing you down? Now, on the other side of the scale, place a sense of calm or a moment of joy. Maybe a memory. Notice how the scales begin to balance before your eyes. As you breathe, imagine you’re adding more calm to the scale. Inhale balance. And exhale, releasing what is holding you back. Feel the powerful sense of equilibrium. You have the ability to find a sense of balance in your life right now. Anytime you need balance, close your eyes, find the scale, and add your moments of joy. Let’s take a final balancing breath. As you exhale, gently bring your awareness back to the room. And whenever you’re ready, slowly open your eyes and carry this sense of balance with you throughout your day. That does it for today’s session. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
