Hey — come sit with me for a minute. Notice the breath, the shoulder that aches, the crow outside, and how the mind spins stories while you keep returning to this one true moment.

No pressure, no fixing — just the small, ordinary miracle of breathing in and out, waking up again and again, and opening your heart to the messy, beautiful you. Try saying “I love you” to yourself with your name at the end and see what shifts.

May this little pause steady you for whatever comes next — a meeting, a drive, a walk — and help you carry a bit more kindness and presence through your day.

This guided meditation is part of a series introducing Insight Meditation practices with a heart-centered approach. Perfect for both beginners and experienced meditators.
