Let's begin by finding a comfortable position to sit or lie down.
Bring your awareness now to your breath.
Watch the inflow and the outflow of your breath.
As you inhale,
Feel the air pass through your nose.
And as you exhale,
Watch it pass back out.
Notice how this feels.
Don't try to force your breath.
Just let it flow naturally.
In and out.
Exhale in and exhale in.
Right now,
All you have to do is focus on your breath,
Going in and out.
No thoughts for the future or past.
Just this moment right now,
Breathing.
If your mind wanders,
That's okay.
Just gently bring it back to your breath.
Inhale in and exhale in.
Exhale in and exhale in.
Notice now how all your body feels.
Notice how your breath feels.
Is it smooth,
Rapid,
Shaky,
Or calm?
As you inhale,
Feel yourself relax.
And as you exhale,
Feel yourself melt away.
Inhale and relax.
And exhale,
Melt away.
Inhale and exhale.
Relax.
