I'm happy you're joining me for this guided breath meditation into stillness and relaxation.
So find a comfortable seated position and whenever you're ready,
Close your eyes and just become aware of your breathing.
Feel the coolness of your breath on the inhale and the warmth of your breath on the exhale.
And just start to slow your breath down.
Begin to deepen and extend your breath.
Feel the breath going right into the base of your stomach,
Completely filling your lungs on the in-breath.
Notice your stomach expanding and relaxing as you breathe.
With each breath,
Your body becomes more and more relaxed and still.
Don't feel any tension in your back releasing as you breathe.
Let your shoulders fall,
Your jaw completely relax and your tongue rest at the bottom of your mouth.
Feel your entire body relax with deep,
Slow breaths.
After your next exhale,
Allow your breath an easy pause before you inhale.
Continue to pause after each exhale as long as feels comfortable for you.
And when the thoughts come in,
And they will,
Just let them float by.
Don't grasp or hold on to them.
Let the exhales release any thoughts that are floating by.
And just continue that easy pause after each exhale.
Feel the breath rising and falling.
And resting.
Feel your breath swell,
Diminish,
And become motionless and unmoving.
Feel each new breath rising from this place of stillness and releasing back into the stillness into that expansive space between the breaths.
Platform And now feel that you are the breath expanding and releasing into the stillness.
And out of the stillness.
Feel yourself as the breath rising,
Falling,
And releasing.
Falling,
And then resting.
Gradually move from feeling yourself as the breath.
To feeling yourself as the calm space between the breaths.
Feel yourself as the stillness.
You are the expansiveness of that space of stillness.
I'm going to give you some time alone now to completely become that stillness,
Perfectly quiet,
At one with it all.
Through which your breath emerges.
Guided meditation for you.
So bring your awareness back to your body and just take note of how you feel.
Start to deepen your breath.
And bow your head.
Grab your hands together creating a little heat and place them gently over your eyes.
Slowly open your eyes into the palms of your hands.
And now you can gradually release the palms of your hands from your eyes.
Until next time.
