Transcript

Welcome to mindfulness of breathing.

Beginning to just allow awareness to fill the body.

Settling your mind into its natural state,

Relax,

Clear,

Stable.

Releasing any concerns about the future or the past,

Just giving yourself permission to be here.

Allowing the awareness just to rest in this stillness in the present moment.

Becoming increasingly aware of the sensory field of the body as you naturally breathe throughout the body.

Connect your Cortex Angle,

Port galaxy,

And eye angle.

And now narrowing awareness a little bit more to the abdomen.

Breathing in,

Noticing how the abdomen naturally rises.

Breathing out how the abdomen naturally falls.

Just allowing awareness to be here.

Relax,

Stable,

Present with the natural rising and falling of the abdomen with each breath.

Nice.

Wait.

And as you're breathing,

Allowing each breath to be a meditation in itself.

On the inhalation or arousing or attention,

The exhalation,

Relaxing,

Releasing,

One balancing out dullness,

Tiredness,

The other one balancing out distraction,

Busyness of mind,

Settling into this natural state of breathing,

Releasing the out-breath,

Arousing on the in-breath,

And just letting be.

And if it's supportive to you,

Experimenting with counting,

Noting the numbers at the end of the inhalation,

And maintaining this awareness,

This mindfulness throughout,

Settling into breathing.

And now we'll continue in silence for the rest of the practice.
