Whole Body Breathing

This meditation is for those moments when you feel scattered, tense, or distant from yourself. when your energy is caught in your head, and you long to feel grounded and whole again.

Here, you’re invited to come home to your body, to breathe not just with your lungs, but with your entire being. To sense how each breath moves through you, softly awakening every cell, every curve, every quiet space within.

As you rest in this gentle rhythm of whole-body breathing, the boundaries between breath, body, and awareness begin to blur, leaving only presence, aliveness, and ease.

Return to this meditation whenever you feel disconnected from your body, lost in thought, or simply wish to feel centered, calm, and fully here.

Hello wonderful being,

Thank you for choosing me to be your guide today.

So,

Begin by coming into a comfortable position.

When you feel that you have settled to some degree,

Then begin by feeling your breath moving in and out of your body,

Either at the belly or at the nostrils.

Noticing your breath moving in and out of your body.

Continue to observe your breath as it is.

As you focus on a specific part of your body breathing,

Now intentionally allow the field of awareness to expand.

Noticing your body as a whole sitting and breathing.

Continue to being aware of this wider sense of a body as a whole breathing air in and out.

Continue to be aware of your breath in a particular part of your body or your body breathing as a whole.

Feeling your sitting body breathing.

And of course,

You might notice your mind wandering repeatedly away from the breath.

Keep in mind that this is a natural tendency of the mind and is in no way a mistake or a sign of failure.

So,

Whenever you notice that your attention has drifted away from the sensations in the body,

You might want to let it register.

That to be aware of the fact means that you are already back and awake to what is going on in the mind.

So,

Congratulate yourself on catching your mind wander and bring your attention back to the sensations of breathing.

Noticing how does it feel like to be in this breathing body.

And now,

Bringing your awareness to the surface beneath you.

Feeling supported by mother earth.

Now,

One last time becoming aware of your body from head to toe.

Feeling how does it feels like to be in this body.

Right now.

And now,

If you feel ready,

You can expand your awareness to the surface and to the space around you.

You can open your eyes and notice your body in this space.

You can even look at your body like your body parts,

Your hands in this space.

Just noticing how does it feels like to be in this space,

In this body,

Breathing.

And now,

Whenever you feel ready,

You can just rub your hands.

Place it over your eyes.

And gently lower your hands and opening your eyes as you come out of this meditation.

Thank you for listening and I will see you soon.

Bye-bye.

Take care.
