Sit comfortably and relax.
Become aware of your breath.
Draw your mind away from all other thoughts.
Focusing on the feeling of the breath as it enters and leaves your body.
If you find your mind becoming distracted,
Don't fight with it.
Just be aware that your mind has wandered.
And then very gently bring it back and focus again on your breath.
Your breath is like the wave from the ocean coming onto the shore.
Very naturally flowing inwards and outwards.
This wave-like motion is reflected through your chest and through your whole body.
The breath is effortless.
Unforce.
The inward breath draws prana or chi into your body and rejuvenates you.
Feel the inward breath energize every cell in your body.
Feel your body relaxing on the outward breath.
Allow your shoulders to relax.
Feel that release spreading down into your arms and into your hands.
Feel it spreading through your entire body.
Let go.
And relax with the outward breath.
Keep focusing your attention on your breath.
You are not straining.
You are not forcing.
You are just watching your breath.
And as you do so you can feel the tension leaving your face.
Your face is softening.
Feel all the tension leave your scalp.
As you separate your teeth slightly.
Feel the jaw relax.
Now you will begin to meditate on the Gauranga mantra.
As you exhale you will be saying Gauranga.
On the long outward breath.
As you say the mantra.
Allow your mind to become fully immersed in the sound.
Feel its vibration throughout the body.
Inhale deeply.
Relax.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Keep your eyes closed.
Let the mantra continue to resonate in your mind.
Now become aware of your breath.
Focus on the feeling of the breath in the body.
Slowly become aware of the external sounds in the environment.
Bring your hands up and touch your face.
Wake your body up by stretching if you want to.
Be aware of your relaxed yet energised body and your calm and focused mind.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
Gauranga.
