Hi,

And welcome to this five-minute guided breathing meditation.

My name is Alejandro and I am honored to be your guide on this brief but powerful journey towards calm and clarity.

As you find a comfortable position,

Whether sitting or laying down,

I invite you to gently close your eyes.

Together we'll explore the simple yet profound practice of mindful breathing.

Let's set an intention for our time together.

What do you hope to gain from this practice?

Perhaps it's peace,

A sense of love,

Calm,

Or simply a moment of stillness.

Whatever it is,

Hold that intention in your heart as we practice.

I am so grateful to share this moment with you,

So let's begin.

Bring your attention to your body.

Notice the areas of tension and consciously let them go.

Relax your shoulders,

Soften your face,

And let your arms and legs rest comfortably.

Now bring your awareness to your breath.

Don't try to change anything,

Just notice the natural rhythm of your breathing.

Feel as the air enters and leaves your nostrils.

Feel the rise and fall of your chest or your belly.

Take a slow,

Deep breath in through your nose,

Feeling your lungs completely.

Hold it for a moment and then gently exhale through your mouth.

Repeat this deep breathing two more times,

Each time feeling your body relax more deeply.

Return to your natural breath and now we'll start counting.

Breathe in and silently count one,

Breathe out and count two.

Then continue to do this up to ten,

And then begin again from one.

Breathe in one,

Breathing out two,

In three.

If your mind wanders,

Gently bring it back to your breath and your counting.

Now letting go of the counting,

On your next inhale,

Think of your intention.

As you exhale,

Imagine that word or phrase spreading through your entire being,

Filling you with its energy.

Gradually bring your awareness back to your surroundings.

Wiggle your fingers and your toes and when you're ready,

Gently blink your eyes open.

Take a moment to notice how you feel,

And carry this sense of calm and relaxation with you through your day.

Whenever it's needed,

You can always come back to this practice.

Thank you for meditating with me,

Until next time.
