Welcome to this practice of 20 conscious connected breaths.
This is the short version that has no introduction and no demonstration of the practice.
If you're new to this,
I invite you to.
.
.
Check out the longer version that contains some explanations to how this works and how you can do this in the best way possible for you.
Now I invite you to close your eyes.
And observe your natural breath.
How does it flow?
Or anything in your body that you can relax right now,
Just a little bit more.
Especially the belly,
The shoulders,
The jaw.
Be aware of how the breath flows.
If you notice yourself influencing it in any way,
Stop.
Are there pauses?
It's either in breath or out breath,
Longer or shorter.
How does the rest of your body feel?
While the waves of the breath are moving it.
Fully present with the breath.
Notice how you are feeling right now what is alive within you How alive do you feel?
And if there is any kind of intention that you want to take into this practice Something to let go of maybe.
Question.
Or something you would like to manifest in your life.
Call it up.
In front of your inner eye right now.
And then let it go again.
And whenever you're ready,
You start connecting your breath.
Without doing a lot.
Just.
.
.
Activating the inhale a little bit more.
Breathing deeply.
Without forcing anything.
Your focus is on eliminating the pauses between breathing.
To allow the breath to become circular.
Count your breaths.
And this way it's also a Meditation of focus.
Presence.
Keep your focus on the center.
Of the lungs of the physical lungs in the ribcage.
And when you're finished,
Your 20 connected breaths.
Allow your breath to be fully natural.
Stop all influence.
Be aware of the breath right now of the presence of your body.
How alive you feel right now.
Maybe you received some answer to your question.
Some inside.
Some impulse.
Some sensation of relief.
Memories or images.
And take a moment of gratitude.
For your own aliveness.
That you have given yourself this practice.
Thank you.
For joining me on this little.
Journey of the breath.
Trusting your breath.
For your being.
Namaste.
