The Loving Breath

Loving keeps us going whereas releasing keeps us light. Join Elliott on a journey to get in touch with the heart's intelligence and let love guide you. This guided meditation is part of StressFit's 'Breath Is My Body' series.

Transcript

This is a breathing meditation that has been designed to offer you relaxation,

Alertness,

And love.

We'll be using the breath as a way to generate love within the body.

We'll do this through connecting with the breath,

And by the end of the session,

You should feel ecstatic and recharged.

Find a comfortable position for this meditation.

Maintain a straight back with its natural curves.

Then gently close the eyes and mouth.

With one hand on your chest and the other on your belly,

Take a deep breath in.

You want the hand on the belly to rise higher than the one on the chest.

Notice the movement in the belly as you breathe in and out.

When you breathe in,

Make a mental note of love.

When you breathe out,

Make a mental note of release.

If you'd like,

You could even verbally say these words.

Whether you're doing it internally or externally,

After you've been repeating it for a while,

You should naturally be connecting these words' meaning to some place within you that is honest,

That is a representation of what these words mean to you.

If you get distracted by the inner or external worlds,

Gently place your attention back on the breath.

Breathe in,

Love.

Breathe out,

Release.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

You're now in a state of relaxation and openness.

You're in a state of being receptive again.

Here you can receive the natural benefits of simply being alive and consciously breathing.

Allow your awareness to deepen into your breath.

Softening as much as possible,

A gentle softening washing down through the body.

Allow your awareness to rest right at the entrance of your nostrils.

Focus on the sensations right there.

Breathing in through the nose.

Breathing out through the nose.

Breathing in through the nose.

Breathing out through the nose.

Focus your attention in the area of your heart,

Located just slightly left at the center of your chest.

Keep your attention on your heart center for the next few moments and just keep your senses open to witness and observe whatever comes up.

As you focus on this area,

Imagine your breath flowing in and out through the heart.

Allow your respiratory and heart rhythms to synchronize.

Breathe slowly and gently in through your heart.

Follow my count as you continue to breathe through your heart.

Allow yourself to fully embody and integrate with the intelligence of the heart.

The heart's intelligence gives you the ability to be fully present,

Connected,

And heart directed in every area of your life so that you may experience greater levels of performance,

Creativity,

Intuition,

And levels of consciousness.

Can you feel the power that lies within your heart?

Take a few moments to really feel the power that is radiating from this area of your body.

Go beyond your outside world.

Go beyond your thoughts.

Go beyond your senses for external stimuli.

And go within to feel the power of your heart.

Okay.

Now,

Allow a smile to grace your beautiful face.

Be genuine and honest with it.

You may feel like smiling for just being here and taking the time to be present and gentle towards yourself.

You may feel like smiling because it feels good to smile.

It opens our hearts,

Minds,

And the senses when we smile.

It releases endorphins and chemicals within the body that make us feel balanced,

Connected,

And calm.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Breathe in love.

Breathe out courage.

Your awareness is expanding.

The present moment is slowing down and expanding.

You're receptive to the basic goodness of life.

You're feeling good just to be here,

Taking this time,

Getting in touch,

Aligning your energies.

You're not entangled or caught up in anything.

Your mind has been given the backseat to allow this direct experience with life to blossom.

You're simply being right here,

Right now,

Breathing softly.

In love.

Out release.

In love.

Out release.

When you allow the energy from deep within to flow naturally without any obstructions,

You are shifting your experience into a more creative state of being.

Just accept this moment for exactly what it is.

There's no need to resist.

There is no need to identify.

Just allow the body to enter a fully relaxed state of joy.

Inhabit this moment full of love.

In this space,

You can respond to life from a deeper place of love and compassion and deep presence,

Creating a more intimate connection with yourself,

Creating a less obstructed experience of what it is like to be alive,

Delving into the very essence of what makes you feel free.

Trust your heart.

Trust your body.

Trust yourself.

Accept the love that you have within you to guide you on this journey we call life.

Allow each breath from start to finish and even in between the cycles to take you into a deeper state of love and harmony.

There are no ordinary moments.

Every moment is an opportunity to be extraordinary.

Every moment in your life is a golden opportunity to enjoy being a part of the wonderful and miraculous thing happening all around you that we call life.

In preparing to end this meditation,

Gently open your eyes,

Adjusting and welcoming your awareness to the external world again.

As you move into the rest of the day or night,

Notice if you can instill any of this open,

Alert and relaxed presence into other moments.

Namaste.

This beautiful meditation, your guidance and this wonderful music brought me deep into my heart and then it opend and it felt as one with the space around me. such a beautiful experience. Love it. Thank you Elliott🙏🏾Namaste💮

Simply beautiful🤍Thsnk you Elliott for reminding us that each moment is the opportunity to expend our higher intelligence simply just by being here🙏❤️🌺💕

Ecstatic and refreshing is just how I felt after this divine practice. My heart was bursting and blazing with love ❤️ and deep emotions which I felt too strongly. I was in so much pain but oddly I still enjoyed it so much and made me smile and smile - my heart was glowing through the entire practice.

Elliott’s voice and the soundtrack reverberated my entire body and my heart ❤️ was feeling so happy and deeply touched by the guidance, which sent me down to a state of deep open & infinite awareness state - my heart lead the way and kept me smiling because the moment to moment state I found myself feeling so powerful and beautiful. My heart was humming to me and praising my BE-ing which is travelling through a time of deep love, peace, exaltation and harmony.

Inhaling love felt painful because my heart has an abundance of this sacred emotion but I welcomed the new love which entered my heart with gratitude as I feel safe loving and living in this sublime ambience - my true love is hibernating and is expanding - I must nurture it, as it is keeping me alive. I must share this beautiful love too with others as my heart is confiding to me ⚡️.

Elliott, you allowed me to go through my sacred inner-core by feeling the essence of love and freedom. I smiled before you told me to do that - so I beat you to it 😊😘🤪. It is pure loving sensations my heart is feeling - I sensed the joy and beauty which is residing safely in my heart... so profoundly🤍🕊️💓

Elliott, you are beautiful yourself inside and out. I know that you ARE bcos the way you make me feel is extraordinary and this practice made me feel this way 10-fold - isn’t that fabulous and isn't that magical and miraculous🕊️🤍💬? I feel rejuvenated and deeply loved ❤️ somehow - I felt The Power Of Love and its essence during this celestial practice 💥. Listening to your gentle, heartwarming and astral voice, your pacing time and angelic words you have truly made me feel loved, complete and enough❤️🙏🏻💬

Thanking you profusely for all the love I have hibernating within my BIG and deep loving heart Elliott 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🔥💬🕊️🤍🙏🏻

This was absolutely wonderful. I’d love to do this daily. Thank you.

So relaxing and transcending... Another beautiful meditation. Thank you Elliott

This is definitely what I need! Helped me break through some of the fortress around my heart. Thank you!

So enjoyed this, just what I needed tonight. Namaste 🙏

Lovely and unique guidance for opening the heart chakra 💚. I bow with gratitude. Thank you.

My only “constructive criticism” on this awesome work is the hands, on the chest and belly the entire time or release after a bit? I have a real problem opening this center and this helped immensely. Bookmarked and followed!!!!

I am grateful for this meditation. I am grateful for the breath. I am grateful for your beautiful and loving guidance. Namaste

Brilliant. I feel rested, wonderful and awake. Thank you. Namaste 🙏
