Transcript

Take a comfortable position and close your eyes.

Notice all the sounds and movements going on.

Simply hear,

Simply listen.

There's no need to change anything or make the conditions more optimal.

This is perfect.

Gently bring attention to your body and know that you are sitting.

Feel your feet,

Legs,

And buttocks touch down on your support in the earth.

Your hands resting on your legs.

Bring energy to your spine,

Lengthening without forcing.

Listen and tune into your own breathing.

Feel your breath as a full body sensation from head to toe.

If you don't feel movements linked to your inhale or exhale,

Choose a part of your body and be particularly aware of it like your chest,

Abdomen,

Or nostrils.

Feel your body as a full body sensation from head to toe.

Feel your body as a full body sensation from head to toe.

Short,

Warm,

Choppy,

Light,

Heavy,

Tingling?

Or is it the reverse?

Be alert,

But don't force your attention.

Be very receptive.

As you observe breath sensations,

You may find it's more vivid on one side of your body than the other.

Is the rising and falling,

Or in and out movement of the breath,

Evenly distributed or more vivid to the left or to the right?

You're not trying to send the breath anywhere or make it different in any way.

Simply watch,

Noticing what happens when you breathe in and breathe out.

Be with the full experience of your breath,

Adding nothing,

Subtracting nothing.

There's no special place where you're supposed to feel the breath,

Just wherever it is.

Creates a beautiful, trance-like space for healing. Will be coming back to this one. By the way, it there a way to purchase or download these meditations? They disappear too quickly!

I loved this because she left space for me to sense in and listen and see what was there for me. I was able to stop forcing my belly breath and just sense in to my breathing and observe and relax. I hope there is a 20 min version so I can do that. Grateful for this app.
