Hello and welcome back to another episode of the
Nurse's Break Room with JennyLytle RN.
This episode is a bonus episodeand it is going to be a
three-minute meditation calledAt the Ocean.
Now, before we get started,just a quick reminder that if
your mind starts to wander,that's normal.

(00:24):
Just a quick reminder that ifyour mind starts to wander,
that's normal.
Just notice that it's wandered,without judging or criticizing
yourself, and just bring yourattention back to the
visualization.
And this may be something thatyou need to do more than once,
and that's okay.
It'll get easier as you getmore used to meditation, and

(00:44):
sometimes there's just days whenour minds wander a little more.
So have some grace withyourself.
Now I invite you to take a deepbreath and, when you're
comfortable, perhaps begin toclose your eyes and maybe, as

(01:05):
you take a few more deep breathsand get into a slow, gentle
rhythm, you can begin to imaginethat you're at a beautiful
beach.
I wonder, can you feel the sun'srays on your skin?
Maybe there's a gentle breezegently blowing over you and as

(01:39):
you now imagine walking slowlytowards the sea with the warm
sun embracing you with its rays,you may become aware of the
sand or pebbles underneath yourfeet, the sound of the waves as

(02:00):
they lap at the shore, or maybeeven the taste of being at the
ocean.
And now, as you walk gently onthe edge of the waves, perhaps

(02:23):
you also notice the cool,refreshing water on your feet.
Maybe you can just enjoy beingstill for a few moments now,
doing nothing but breathingdeeply and enjoying the soothing

(02:44):
warmth of the sun, thewonderful contrast of the cool,
refreshing water on your feetand the gentle sounds and scents
around you.
Simply enjoy this beautifulexperience for a few breaths and

(03:05):
soak up the serenity, peace andcalm.
You're now feeling Wonderful,so you can come back and visit
this favorite beach of yours atany time, knowing that when you

(03:29):
leave, your mind will feelsoothed, calm and refreshed and
now ready to continue your day.
