And welcome to this session.
I'm Josh.
We're going to start on our feet.
So if you would meet me in a standing position.
This session is all about thinking less.
Noticing the space,
Noticing the peace.
Quieting the mind and entering the ever-present body.
So as I said,
We're gonna start on the feet.
Go ahead and plant your feet firmly on the ground,
Hands at your side,
Close your eyes.
Anchor the left foot to the ground.
Anchor the right foot to the ground.
Begin dropping the breath into the nose and into the belly.
The lips are sealed.
Eyes are closed and you're just noticing the belly breathing.
And the natural sway of your body.
Keeping your eyes closed,
We're gonna rotate with the arms loose,
Letting them slap the sides as you rotate.
And every time they hit your sides,
It's an exhale through the nose.
The inhale happens on the rotation.
So this is more of a skull shining from standing.
Here we go.
If you haven't,
Go ahead and join in.
Last one,
Hands at your side,
Belly breathe,
Feel the sway.
Feel the electricity of your body.
And without disturbing your state too much,
Have a seat.
We're going to switch over to voice guidance here.
I'm just going to breathe with you.
Here we go.
As I mentioned,
This one is going to be pretty peaceful,
Very meditative.
So settle in.
And begin to notice your nose breathing.
Lips are sealed.
And if you can,
Imagine breathing in through your cheekbones.
This beautiful nose of ours filters the air,
Warms the air.
Produces nitric oxide,
Does all these amazing things for us.
Let's give it a moment of appreciation here and let all the tension go.
Next,
We're going to do my 90 second reset,
Which will be in through the nose,
Out through the mouth with the breaths.
I will guide you.
Go ahead and exhale and prepare to breathe.
Breathe in,
Out.
In,
Nice and full,
Let it go.
Ian?
Out.
In.
Out.
Feel the rhythm.
Feel the breath.
Feel the life.
Couple more.
Now all the way in.
Hold the top.
Just notice.
Release.
Nice and slow,
Pause and a hold at the bottom.
Notice the peace and connect to your center.
Take a full breath in,
Nice and easy.
Let it go.
Normalize your breathing.
And just notice.
Continue to feel into that center point within your energy.
You know what I'm talking about.
What we're going to do next is the meat of this session.
We're going to take some full inhales,
Pausing at the top,
Pretending like we're at the surface of water with all the waves.
And then we'll exhale and drop beneath the surface.
Exhale.
Breathe in nice and full and let it go.
Again.
Again.
Give a little pause and then release.
Again.
Pause a little longer at the top.
Release.
This time,
Fully in.
And hold at the top.
You're at the surface of the water.
The thoughts are the waves.
And as you exhale,
Drop beneath.
The surface.
Deep into the water.
Breathe light.
Notice the space.
And every time,
Your mind wants to be carried away by a thought.
Imagine cutting the string on it like a buoy that floats back to the surface.
And you settle deeper into the peace.
Of the vastness within.
Prepare for round two and exhale.
Five full breaths,
Breathe in.
Let it go.
In fully.
Let it go.
In fully belly,
Ribs,
Chest,
Pause,
Release.
Ian.
Slow and full.
Out.
Let it go slowly.
Fully in on this one.
Back to the surface,
Chaos,
Waves,
Thoughts.
Exhale and let that weight on your feet drop you beneath the surface into the peace.
Imagine floating beneath the surface in the ocean,
This vast void of peace and silence and calm.
This is the depth within you.
Feel it.
Round three,
Exhale.
Begin.
Fully in.
Let it go.
Fully in.
Give a pause.
Let it go.
Number 3 Number four,
Pause a little longer,
Release.
Number five,
Fully in and hold.
And then let it all go and drop beneath one more time.
Rest in that open silence.
Simply notice and feel your energy.
Begin to notice your body.
And what we're going to do now at your own pace.
Is scan the body.
In a particular way.
That creates body awareness.
And on the inhales,
Scanning up the body.
And on the exhales,
Scanning down the body.
Inhaling,
Scanning from the toes through the legs and the hips,
The belly,
The shoulders to the head.
Exhaling,
Dropping it back down.
And carrying this practice.
Like a wave of awareness.
For the next couple of minutes.
Exhale and breathe fully in.
And release.
Begin breathing light,
Becoming aware of your breath.
Becoming aware of your body.
Gently blink open your eyes and find something to focus on.
The first thing that catches your attention,
Just lightly gaze.
Noticing the details.
With absolutely no rush.
Carry this peace with you.
I see you.
Thank you for being here.
