Welcome to today's meditation. Let's get started. Find a comfortable position where you can sit uninterrupted for next 15-20 minutes. Wherever you are sitting try to sit straight, Your back, Neck and head aligned in one straight line. Drop your shoulders. Slightly open your mouth. Don't crunch, Don't hold any stress in your jaws. Try to relax as much as you can. Adjust your posture if needed. Take a deep long breath into your stomach. Let go all through your mouth. Do that 3-4 times. Then let go. Let your breath find its natural way of breathing. For few seconds just observe the breath. Observe, Inhale, Exhale. Bring your full awareness to your body, Mind and breathing. Gently bring your consciousness to the tip of your nose and the nostrils area. As you observe the breathing you find a spot or area in the nostrils where the air makes contact with your body. Identify that area and just observe as the air enters your body, Does its magic and then it leaves your body. So we bring our full consciousness to the nostrils, Tip of your nose, Wherever you find the air makes contact with your body. As you observe the breath, As you observe the area in your nostrils, Just be an observer. Don't try to change, Don't try to alter, Don't force. Let the natural breathing happen and we just observe the breathing. Anytime you catch yourself mind wandering apart from monitoring the nostrils and the air or the breathing, Gently bring it back to the breathing and by paying attention to the nostrils. Breathe in, Breathe out. Keep your regular check on your mind. Is it still your breathing or is it wandering? Now gently do a body scan to see any part of the body you're holding any stress or tension. Or any distress or any emotions you're carrying. Gently breathe into that part, Relax, Continue the body scan. Once you finish your body scan, Put your entire body in a very relaxed mode. So that we hold this posture for next 15-20 minutes without any movements. Any discomfort after this will get through that using breath as our instrument. Bring your attention back to the breathing. Keeping your awareness on tip of your nose or the nostrils. Breathing in and out. Breathing out. Breathing in and out. Breathing in and out. Breathing in and out. Breathing out.
