Meditation for breath and body.

Noticing the exhale.

And noticing the inhale.

Letting the body open to receive the sounds of the environment.

Letting the eyes be very relaxed behind closed lips.

Continuing to soften into the breath.

There is an awareness of the lungs.

During the inhale,

The ribs separate and expand.

And during the exhale,

There is a contraction of the muscles between the ribs.

Air moving in through the edge of the nostrils.

Up the sinus passage.

Down through the back of the neck and into the lungs.

And then resting fully in the expanded lungs.

The exhale starts with the air moving up through the lungs.

Through the back of the throat,

Through the sinuses,

The nostrils and out the nose.

Being felt at the very tip.

The next inhale is felt through the tissue at the edge of the nose.

Up the nose through the sinuses,

Back of the neck and into the lungs.

Suspending the breath briefly with the lungs full.

This time the exhale will be through an open mouth.

Letting the spent air move up and out,

Touching the open lips,

Relaxing at the heart center.

Relaxing and softening the heart.

Inhaling through the nose,

Exhaling through the mouth.

Relaxing and softening at the heart at your own pace.

Feeling the softening at the heart in the front and the back.

The connective tissue around the physical heart relaxes the front and back of the chest.

Release.

Tension of the day releases.

Letting responsibilities go,

Letting obligations go.

Anything before this moment,

Allowing it to dissolve,

Release,

Dissipate.

Using the breath to come fully into the present.

We lengthen the neck,

Pulling the chin back slightly,

Letting the shoulders shift and soften.

And feel into each section of the inhale and each section of the exhale.

Slowly beginning to relish the experience of simply breathing in and out.

In and out.

In and out.

If a thought seems to interfere,

As they sometimes do,

Shifting the attention back to direct experience of the inhale and direct experience of the exhale.

Building our focus.

Building our mental capabilities.

As we are able to continually shift our focus to the various sections of the breath,

The sections of the inhale and the sections of the exhale.

We are training our minds to be our servants rather than our masters.

We are building our meditative focus.

Releasing our inner connection and tuning into our essential selves.

Each time a feeling comes through or a thought comes through,

We skillfully direct our attention to the breath.

Building skill.

Becoming masters of the mind.

Attending to the breath.

As we feel direct experience of the body breathing itself,

Releasing the thinking way of experience and simply being the body breathing.

Perhaps the breath becomes lighter,

Less effortful,

Trusting the power of our breath.

It is possible to release more stress and more tension in the body as we shift that focus more and more towards simply attending to the breath.

And now incorporating our awareness of the physical body,

Feeling into the feet as the body continues to breathe itself.

The heels against the floor of the earth or as our connection symbolically to earth.

The base of the feet,

The ball of the feet,

The connections of the toes to the base of the feet,

The bottoms of the toes,

The outside edge and inside edge of the feet,

The tops of the feet.

And the ankles relaxing around the heel of the Achilles,

Relaxing through the ankle.

What do the feet have to say?

Just send invite light into the feet with the inhale.

And relax and release on the exhale.

Moving up the back and the front of the lower legs,

How does the tissue feel?

How does the bone feel?

Do the calves and shins feel like?

Can I connect with them?

Letting the breath swirl around,

Perhaps inviting light into the area.

Inhaling,

Moving the breath and exhale and release.

Focusing the knees,

The front and the back,

The soft tissue,

The cartilage,

The ligaments.

What are my knees saying to me today?

Letting the breath bring a sense of ease in and around the knees,

Perhaps a swirl of light.

And with each of the exhales releasing whatever serves us to release at that joint.

Taking the awareness higher to the upper legs,

Front and back,

The large muscles of the thighs,

Inviting them to relax and release.

Taking our awareness inside of our upper legs and in our mind's eye,

Letting the breath swirl around,

Allowing our intuition to guide.

With each inhale bringing fresh energy.

And with each exhale allowing any appropriate release.

Taking the awareness to the intersection of the legs and the pelvis,

Relaxing the ligaments and the attachments,

Letting the lower belly be soft,

The pelvic floor be soft,

The glutes relax.

And as this relaxation happens there's more space for our inner organs.

And a sense of release can come into that lower belly,

Lower back sacrum area.

Perhaps we strengthen the breath,

Filling the area with breath and allowing the exhale to bring softness.

The message comes up honoring the message and releasing it and bringing the awareness back to the exhale and the inhale.

As the belly and intestines relax with each exhale,

Maintaining the softness and shifting the awareness to the upper belly,

The diaphragm,

The lungs and the ribs,

The organs of processing.

But in our mind inviting these organs to relax,

Inviting the blood to flow more easily around and through,

Feeling deep into the center of our physical being.

And for this moment in this time inviting more space,

The releases expand,

The inhale creates space for inspiration,

Deeply connecting front and back of the heart.

And then moving up through the upper chest,

Noticing the shoulders,

Softening at the collarbones,

Releasing deep inside the shoulders,

The muscles,

The connective tissue.

Feeling down the arms,

Through the wrists,

The palms of the hands and the tops of the hands.

As if our breath allows our fingers to lengthen.

As if the energy of our fingers extends beyond our fingers.

Softening our palms,

Noticing any information in this part of the body,

But releasing our attention to it on the exhale.

Seeing the neck,

The inside chambers of the neck,

Allowing the breath to move around this area symbolically and through it energetically.

Feeling the length and openness,

Any tensions in those muscles,

Any chronic tensions,

Letting them ease if only for this time.

Taking the awareness to the jaw,

The face,

The skull,

The scalp,

The eyes and the ears.

Feeling the breath expand into the head with the inhale and empty with the exhale.

Letting the jaw relax,

The muscles of the face soften so that the cheeks hang loose,

The scalp softens,

Creating greater space for the bones of the skull,

The plates to expand.

And then within the skull,

There's more space.

There's an expansion as if there's more space for our brains.

Seeing these tiny ligaments,

The connective tissue around the eyes,

All the way around and inviting that to ease.

As if the eyeball feels loose within the socket.

Letting the inner ear canal open,

Allowing any tension to dissipate from the inner ear.

The tongue relaxes and falls back slightly in the throat.

Is there any message?

Realizing and then returning the attention to the breath.

Noticing the space around the physical body.

Breathing into the space around the physical body,

Inhaling as if that space is also expanding and contracting with the breath.

Letting there be openness,

Increased personal space,

Increased acceptance and presence.

Letting our own presence filter out from the center of our body into the space around our body.

And now inviting more light into any area where there still feels tension or resistance in the space around the body or throughout the body.

Letting the breath wander where intuition takes it.

Letting the entire body breathe itself.

Inhaling deeply,

Allowing the cells to exhale deeply.

Letting all that does not serve us to dissolve,

Release,

Dissipate.

Watching the breath and being the breath.

Seeing the center line of our body from the lower belly,

The pubic cartilage,

Through the center line of the body,

The belly button,

The chest,

The heart,

Up through the neck,

Head to the crown.

Drawing our attention to that center line of energy.

And as we do that,

We make it our energetic home.

We feel our sense of self radiating out from that center line.

The body extending beyond the limits of the skin into the space around the body,

Our aura.

Letting there be no separation between the physical body and the aura.

Feeling safe.

Letting any difference dissolve.

And for now,

For here,

For these moments,

Expanding.

Being present with the inhale and the exhale.

This gives us a structure to open up to greater direct experience and understanding.

So we use the structure of our attention to breath.

Inhale and exhale.

To expand our sense of presence.

Release our attention to the thinking mind.

And feel into our aura for understanding and wisdom.

Realizing how this organ of sense feels.

Inviting greater knowing of how it is that we perceive directly in this bubble around us.

When we notice energy in the environment,

When we notice the presence of another person.

When in our aura do we feel this?

How far out?

How good are we at noticing what is ours and what is not ours?

Each inhale and each exhale expands through the body and through the space around the body.

So keeping this wisdom,

This perceptive ability that comes with a feeling of openness and spaciousness.

With attention to the breath and the center line of the body.

With space for feelings.

Space for thoughts.

Space for emotions.

But the spaciousness exists before all of these.

Feeling the breath.

Feeling the center line of the body.

Identifying with the energy that watches the breath.

The energy that holds space.

Allowing the strength of our attention to that breath to stabilize our experience of the center line of our body.

Integrating any understandings we've gained.

As we begin bringing attention more and more to the breath.

Deepening the inhale.

Deepening the exhale.

Feeling the center line.

Retaining our spacious wisdom.

And in a few more breaths,

We'll be shifting our awareness towards this room.

So using these last breaths to seal the experience for ourselves.

Feeling into the feet.

Feeling through the body.

And in another breath,

We're going to open the eyes part way looking down.

Opening the eyes part way.

Taking another breath.

And then allowing the eyes to open more fully.
