Hi,
And welcome to your heart activating breath meditation.
This meditation utilizes a technique called heart coherence,
Which brings the wavelengths,
The electrical wavelengths of the heart and the mind,
Into sync.
This promotes calmness,
Relaxation,
And better cognitive function.
The first thing I'd like you to do is close your eyes.
Start to relax and listen to my voice.
Take your right hand to the left side of your chest,
So it's covering your heart.
As you do that,
I want you to start taking some deep breaths.
Use a natural rhythm and bring a natural depth to your breath.
Deeper than you'd normally breathe,
But not so deep as to be strained or unnatural.
Start to get into a nice rhythm of breathing in and breathing out.
And as you do that,
I want you to feel every breath you take in go through your heart.
I want you to physically feel that breath pass in through your heart.
Feel that you can find it in your chest.
Feel that you can feel it really going through your heart as you breathe in.
And then,
With every breath out,
I want you to feel that going through your heart as well.
Physically feel it going through your heart.
And then,
Again,
You'll find that you can actually physically find it really pushing through your heart as you breathe out.
Feel it passing through.
So,
With every breath in you take,
I want you to feel that breath going through your heart.
And with every breath out you take,
I want you to physically feel that breath going through your heart.
So you're breathing in through your heart,
And breathing out through your heart.
Breathing in through your heart,
And breathing out through your heart.
Breathing in through your heart,
And breathing out through your heart.
As you continue in that nice,
Comfortable rhythm,
Feeling every breath in and every breath out pass through your heart,
I just want you to listen to my voice and listen to the words I'm saying.
With every breath in you take,
You bring in some softness.
So you can let your muscles and your tendons and your sinews all relax a bit.
Let your shoulders and your neck go.
Let your back relax.
Let the muscles in your face relax.
With every breath out,
I just want you to let out some of the stress and the tension.
Just let them disappear off into the atmosphere and evaporate.
With every breath in that you take,
As you feel it through your heart,
Keep bringing in more calm and relaxation.
And as that calm and relaxation pass through your heart,
They move into your bloodstream and float around your body.
Let those relaxed feelings float into every part of your body.
From the tips of your toes,
To the tips of your fingers,
To the top of your head.
And as you breathe out,
You're letting out stresses and tensions.
Just let them disappear off into the atmosphere and evaporate.
Keep breathing in this way.
Now this is called the heart activation breathing method.
What this does is put our hearts and minds in sync.
Both your heart and brain have electrical pulse outputs.
When we are in stress,
Anxiety,
Or upset,
Those pulses are erratic and they don't sync up.
By using this method for only a few minutes,
We begin to bring those pulses into a rhythm until they are beating in sync.
This allows us to think more clearly.
When we put the heart and brain in sync,
We can relax into clarity.
Now that you have them in that rhythm,
I want you to consider for a moment,
If you could,
What would you be grateful for in your life right now?
It doesn't have to be anything big,
But I just want you to consider what you can be grateful for in your life right now.
It could be your family,
Your home,
Your friends,
The fact that you even woke up this morning.
Is it the water you drink or the food that you have to eat?
What can you be grateful for in your life right now?
Just think about two or three things that you feel true gratitude for in your life and in your heart.
While you continue to flow with your breath,
Gently remove your hand from your heart and place it down by your side.
Start to come back into the room,
Slowly bringing yourself back.
Take your time.
Bring any movements into the body that feel good and necessary.
When you're ready,
Just gently and slowly open the eyes.
As you let your eyes adjust,
Find something in the room to focus on.
Just a simple object and look at it.
Really look at it.
Then gently find something else in the room.
Place your attention on that and really look at that,
Bringing your awareness into the present moment,
Into your present space.
Then gently take a deep breath in,
And a big breath out.
Maybe even bring a little smile to your face.
Thank you so much for being here with me today and for practicing this meditation.
I hope that you feel more focus,
Clarity,
Alignment,
And gratitude as you move through your day today.
