Transcript

I'm beginning now to pay more attention to the sensations of your breathing any sensations whatsoever within the body connected with the process of breathing in and out the sensations may be in the belly,

The chest,

The back,

Shoulders,

Arms,

Hands,

Head,

Anywhere in the body and if the mind wanders that's perfectly normal,

It's just what happens we simply bring our attention back to the breathing with kindness,

With patience and now expanding your awareness beyond the breathing into the whole body noticing sensations arising all over,

Noticing how you're feeling now being aware of what the mind is doing,

Whether it's contracted or expansive,

Dull or bright,

Busy or calm and beginning to reconnect once again with the world around you,

The space,

The light,

The suns and then when you feel ready,

Beginning to move the body gently and finally allowing the eyes to open

Impressive. Very calming experience. The core of this meditation is to connect strongly with the present and the author successfully convinces you to be present.

This is my favorite meditation. I like it because it allows me to break through my habit of not meditating and restart my practice without being frightened by a large span of time. It is thoughtful and takes a person through key meditative elements in a very short time.

Perfect little reset or beginning of a longer meditation (I kept meditating after this was finished). Pleasant, calming voice.

If you don’t have a lot of time and just need a little snippet of peace -this is perfect. I still don’t think it’s enough time though to fully reach a meditative state 😅
