Simple Relaxation Meditation

This is a simple meditation for those starting off on their meditation journey. It is intended to relax the mind through a simple focus on a counting inhale and the word "relax" on the exhale. Enjoy this quick meditation during a work break, to prime your morning, or even before bed.

Transcript

Concentrate on taking deep breaths with the air going down to your diaphragm.

Your pelvis should expand every time you breathe in and it should flatten out or draw back in every time you exhale.

Many people breathe from the chest rather than the diaphragm and breathing this way may feel strange at first.

If you are having trouble,

Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly.

The hand on your belly should rise and fall while the hand on your chest should not move very much.

Breathe in normal amounts of air at a normal rate and smoothly.

It doesn't matter if you breathe through your nose or your mouth.

Count every time you inhale.
