Transcript

As you settle into a calming space sitting up you can prepare yourself for this simple daily breath counting meditation where you'll soften your thoughts and breathe into stillness for the day ahead.

Rolling your shoulders back and letting your spine straighten.

Closing down your eyes and allowing yourself to let go of any expectations of how you think you should feel or how the next few minutes should go.

Today is a new day and that means you're resetting your focus and starting fresh.

You can feel a sense of peace float up from within you as your body knows today is a fresh start.

Begin to notice your breathing allowing it to gently soften.

Knowing that with each breath your body can relax even more.

Relaxing your jaw,

Relaxing the muscles around your eyes and releasing any tension in your body.

Keeping a normal resting breath between each breath you'll count starting from 1 to 10 and repeat the process until the end of this meditation.

I'll start with you before you do it at your own pace.

Breathe in and out then count one in your mind in that space between the next breath and in and out two in and out three and so on and continue up to ten then repeat back to one on your own now.

I'll chime in at the end with this sound and any time a thought arises simply acknowledge it as a thought and return back to your counting from one.

Gently letting the counting stop now and noticing how you feel and as you place a smile on your face now you can feel good feelings stem from your heart space outwards to your whole body and notice them extend out to your whole life.

Have a beautiful fresh new day.

This was really good. Good backing music that was at the right volume in relation to your voice - it blended well. I also like the detail of relaxing the muscles around the eyes. Makes a big difference when you relax areas like that. I also liked counting between breaths. It really brought me back to the present. I also liked the inclusion of the smile the end and how this can spread good feelings throughout your day and life.
