Hello and welcome to this guided sound meditation with breath.
Please find a comfortable position where you will not be disturbed.
Headphones are recommended but not necessary.
Let's begin.
If you feel safe to do so,
Close your eyes and take a long,
Deep inhale through your nose.
Feeling the cool air flow into your lungs.
And as you exhale,
Notice the increased warmth of your out breath.
Deeply in.
Sipping in just a little bit more air.
Holding your breath.
And release.
Deeply in.
Holding it for a moment.
And release slowly through an open mouth.
Continue this rhythmic breathing in with a hold and out.
Deeply in.
And slowly out.
And I'll be here sitting with your breath.
When we slow our breath,
We send signals to our brains that we are safe.
That it is okay to relax.
Here in this moment.
Letting go of any thoughts or emotions that arise.
And always returning to the consciousness of your breath.
Breathing in.
Hold.
And release.
Breathing in.
Hold.
And release.
In.
Hold.
And release.
In.
Hold.
And release.
In.
Hold.
And release.
Gently return to my voice.
Back to the awareness of your breathing.
Know that if you went in and out of rhythm,
That's okay.
Know that at any time when life feels too intense,
Where you need a quick reset,
You may always return to a slow conscious breath.
In.
Hold.
And out.
As you begin to return to your awareness,
Slowly wiggle your fingers and toes.
Allowing yourself to stretch in any way.
And lastly,
Opening your eyes to go about your day or evening with conscious breath and intention.
Be well,
And thanks for meditating with me.
