Welcome to relaxing breath.
In a comfortable position,
Either seated or lying down,
Please close your eyes or keep them at a soft focus.
Relax your body into your space and start to stretch.
Stretch your arms,
Your legs,
Your neck and shoulders gently as you continue to breathe.
Stretch your feet,
Your wrists and arms.
Rub away any stiff or tense areas that you can easily reach.
As you're stretching,
Take a deep breath in and out.
And with your body more relaxed,
Take another deep breath in through your nose,
Filling up your lungs and slowly letting it out through your nose.
As you breathe in through your nose,
Imagine breathing in all the prana,
Oxygen to every cell in your body.
And when you're breathing out through your nose,
Releasing toxins and getting into deep relaxation.
Continue to breathe this way throughout the meditation.
Imagine the stress and tension leaving your body.
Imagine your mind quieting all the day's worries,
Anxiety,
Any physical pain,
All leaving you now.
Breathing in the calm and breathing out the tension,
Letting it go.
Taking a deep breath in and out through your nose.
When you take your next inhale,
Count quietly to yourself in as you inhale to four.
And on the exhale,
Breathe out from your nose and quietly count to yourself to eight.
Let's try this together.
First,
Breathing in for one,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And now out,
Eight,
Seven,
Six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Pushing every last breath that you can comfortably out.
Again,
Breathing in one,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And out,
Eight,
Seven,
Six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
And one.
Now continue that a few times on your own.
As you continue to breathe,
Notice with every breath the stresses of the day,
Any pain,
All being replaced with calm and comfort.
You're releasing toxins and tension.
Continue breathing in and out.
Feel the relaxation in your body going deeper and deeper.
Feel your muscles relaxed and tension-free.
Breathing in and out through your nose.
Remind yourself that as you're breathing,
Even in times of stress,
We can come back to the present moment through our breathing.
Our deep breathing cleanses us,
Detoxifies us,
And calms us.
As you breathe,
Continue deep,
Relaxing breathing.
As you start to think about leaving and ending this meditation,
Remember you can always access your breath at any time.
Knowing this can create peace and relaxation,
Not only in your body,
But in your mind.
Any time you are stressed,
Come back to your breath.
And let's take one more deep breath in and out.
Then when you're ready,
Start to slowly come back to the room that you're in.
Begin to stretch your arms,
Legs.
Move your head gently from side to side if it's comfortable to do so.
Open your eyes and tune into your body to see how it feels now.
If you're continuing to rest or fall asleep,
Just continue breathing this way,
Deeply and fully.
And feel your body drift into deep relaxation or sleep.
Namaste.
Shanti,
Shanti,
Shanti.
Peace,
Peace,
Peace.
