Mindful Breathing

This five-minute guided practice is perfect if you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed or anxious and want to feel centred, relaxed and peaceful. Invite yourself to focus on various parts of your breath to feel a sense of calm wash over your body and mind.

Transcript

Gently close your eyes,

Making sure that you're in a comfortable position,

Either lying down or seated.

Allow yourself to take some deep breaths in and out.

You might like to choose to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth as a way of letting go,

Releasing any tension on your out breath.

Gradually shift your awareness to any sounds you can hear outside the room that you're in.

Now slowly draw your awareness to the sounds inside the room.

Noticing how your body feels as you're seated or lying down.

Becoming aware of each body part that touches the floor or the chair.

Perhaps you can notice some slight pressure there under your legs or behind your back.

Get a sense of the air temperature as it makes contact with your skin.

Noticing if it's warm or cool air,

Stagnant or fresh air.

And perhaps you can feel that air on your skin,

On your hands or face.

You might notice a slight fragrance in the air as you breathe in through your nose.

Now begin to watch the pace of your breath.

Notice the depth of your breath.

You might sense that your chest rises and falls with each breath that you take.

And maybe you can notice your abdomen doing the same.

Let yourself take in a nice big deep breath full of health and vitality,

Enriching your body and let it go,

Allowing all those old toxins to expel from your body.

When you feel ready,

Gradually draw some movement back into your body via your fingertips and your toes.

Gently roll your ankles,

Wrists and shoulders and bring any other movement that feels right for you to support your transition back into your physical surroundings.

And gently open your eyes.
