Hello,
And welcome to this Magic Morning's breathwork and meditation session.
Our aim today is focus.
We're going to use this breathwork and meditation session to practice focus,
Enhancing our focus.
If you've got a task,
A job,
Or something that you want to complete today,
This breathwork will help train your mind to practice being focused,
Eyes on the prize.
And remember,
Breathwork,
Meditation,
It's a practice.
It is a practice.
Remember,
Force creates counter force.
So go gently with your practice.
Use play,
Soften into it.
I once heard you catch more bees with honey than you do vinegar.
So smile.
As I say this,
I'm smiling.
Before we get into this meditation,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you.
Thank you for showing up for yourself.
Thank you for showing up for me.
I absolutely love creating these breathwork and meditation sessions.
So let's get started.
Find yourself a comfortable seat,
Sitting tall,
Feet on the ground.
You're grounded in a quiet place.
So there's no distraction.
So you can really give all your attention to this breathwork and meditation session.
If you have an eye mask,
You can put that on.
Earphones,
Even better.
Really helps us turn in,
Bring our focus inside.
So there's no distractions where we can work on our training of enhancing our ability to focus.
Focus on the day ahead.
Focus on the task.
Focus on that job,
That thing we're trying to avoid.
We're going to get it done today.
Today is that day.
With your eyes closed and your feet firmly planted on the ground,
Let's use the breath as an anchor.
Let's center ourselves.
So with our eyes closed and mouth closed,
Let's breathe in through the nose.
And at any time your mind drifts away and gets lost in thoughts and stories,
Just return back to the anchor.
Return back to the here and now.
Using the breath and that beautiful,
Slow,
Steady nasal breathing.
Inhale.
Exhale.
You don't have to follow my command or my direction.
You can follow your breath.
When you need to breathe in,
Breathe in.
And when you need to breathe out,
Breathe out.
You've got this.
You know what to do.
Breath your breath in and out.
Just soften into the moment.
Soften the face.
Soften the back or the legs.
If you need to move your shoulders,
Move your shoulders.
Whatever it is,
Just to really create an ease inside of the body.
Once you become aware,
You're holding your face,
You're holding your back.
Just breathe in,
Breathe out,
And let go.
Super,
Super work.
Let go.
You know,
If your mind has drifted off a couple of times and got lost in what you need to do and what you don't need to do,
And the monkey mind is doing a little dance,
That's okay.
Once you know it,
That's a win.
And then come back to the breath.
Just a simple inhale,
Exhale.
Beautiful.
In a couple of moments,
We'll begin our focused breath work.
We will just breathe in for four seconds.
We'll hold for seven.
And then we'll do a slow eight-second breath,
Exhale.
You don't have to remember the numbers or count.
I will do all that for you.
You just have to listen and follow and remember.
If you do get lost in thought and story,
Just start again.
There's no medals or badges for practicing breath work and meditation.
Okay.
Let's begin in four,
Three,
Exhale.
Inhale.
Hold.
Aware of the sharper,
More attentive focus.
You've raised the energy in the body,
We've fired up that sympathetic nervous system while also using the parasympathetic for that rest and digest and peace.
I'll now invite you to think about that task you have at hand today and the feelings that you're going to feel when you achieve it,
The happiness,
The bliss.
