Hello, thank you for joining me today. This meditation practice, it's been an evolving one for me in that before my accident I had one and it felt a little bit easier. Now in this chair I am sitting but it is really hard to find a quietness in this seat. The mind has a lot of things going on and so I invite you to sit here with me for as long as you can take. Just coming back to our breath I want to start there.

I do a lot of this meditation outside or in the evening time when I am lying in my bed but when I am in my chair I like to be outside and just feel the breeze on my face and the air outside and the noise is outside and just try to quiet the brain inside. So let's start closing our eyes, focusing on our breath. I like to do a count of my breathing, I usually breathe in for five, hold my breath for five and then exhale for seven. I'll take you on this first round together. So let's inhale for one, two, three, four, five.

Hold your breath for two, three, four, five, and then exhale for seven, two, three, four, five, six, seven, repeat. Let's just walk through our breath focusing on that count. Start her now.
