Welcome to the Calming Count Meditation.

This meditation is a great tool to help calm the mind and relax the body.

It's great to use during times of stress or strain,

Or simply just to relax.

Practice anytime,

Anywhere.

Find a comfortable spot.

You can be seated or lying down.

Whatever works best for you.

Turn any electronics to silent or airplane mode.

Take a few moments to make any adjustments.

Get comfortable.

Gently close your eyes and try and keep them closed for the duration of this practice.

Place your awareness,

Your attention on your breath.

Inhale and exhale.

Use your breath as an anchor.

Focus your full attention and awareness on your breath.

The rise and the fall of your chest.

Inhale and exhale.

Keeping your focus and awareness on your breath,

Begin to count every exhale like this.

Inhale,

Exhale one.

Inhale,

Exhale two.

From one all the way up to ten.

If your mind wanders,

As soon as you notice,

Put your attention back on your breath and start at one.

Keep this count going.

Whenever you reach ten,

Start again at one.

If the mind wanders from time to time,

Just focus back on the count.

Starting at one,

Working your way up to ten.

Keeping this cycle going from one to ten.

Keep this cycle going.

Keep this cycle going.

Keep this cycle going.

Keep this cycle going.

Keep this cycle going.

Keep this cycle going.

Keep this cycle going.

Keep this cycle going.

Keep this cycle going.

Keep this cycle going.

Leaving the count behind,

Allowing your breath to be completely natural,

Completely automatic.

Now returning your awareness to your body.

Getting a sense of movement to your fingers,

To your toes.

Turning your awareness to the room,

To the time of day.

Gently opening your eyes.

The meditation is now complete.
