Welcome to the beachside morning meditation.
From a standing or comfortable seated position with your back and head straight,
Place your hands beside the body of standing or in your lap as seated and ensure that both feet are connected evenly to the floor.
So gently close your eyes and bring your awareness to the morning fresh air.
Inhaling the fresh air through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
Inhaling through your nose and this time exhaling through your nose.
Inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your nose.
Coming back to the natural breath and become aware of the coolness of the air on the inhalation and then warm for the breath on the exhalation.
Coolness of the breath on the inhalation and warmth of the breath on the exhalation.
As you breathe in visualize the sea air as it makes its way into your body.
Starting with the head and neck and visualize the sea air as it softens and releases any tension.
Releasing,
Relaxing,
Letting go.
To your right arm,
Right side of the torso and leg and visualize the sea air as it softens and releases any tension.
Releasing,
Relaxing,
Letting go.
To left arm,
Left side of the torso and leg and visualize the sea air as it softens and releases any tension.
Releasing,
Relaxing,
Letting go.
Let go of the whole body.
The whole body.
Releasing,
Relaxing,
Letting go.
If you are wondering am I meditating correctly?
The way that we know we are meditating correctly is if we are more connected and aware of the breath than we normally are.
Coolness of the sea air as you inhale and the warmth of the breath on the exhalation.
Stay connected with the breath and continue breathing in this way.
Bringing your awareness back to the natural breath.
To the morning sounds around you and in the distance.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
Inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.
Now slowly open your eyes and before you move too much take some time to check in to how you are feeling after this short meditation.
Namaste.
