Breathe And Smile

A short breath-focused meditation that builds inward attention in stages. Beginning with the breath as an anchor, a deliberate pause is introduced to deepen the sense of inner stillness. Attention then moves to the hands, grounding awareness in the body, before settling at the eyes — inviting a wee smile.

Are you comfortable? Then we'll begin. I'm going to start by taking five breaths and signing them out. Nothing too strong. Nothing to. . . In our duty. Breathe in. Say it out. Bye. You four. Five. The rest of the session was going to be a wee bit similar to Yoga Nidra but Not focusing in the whole body, Not focusing. . . On every part of the body. I've just got no focus on. Three paws, Your breath, Your eyes. And your hands. Which is cause of age. And just breathe normally. Have a hint. When I breathe in. . . And now just pause the breath at the top. And then breathe out. I tend to focus on the breath a lot more. Stole my thoughts. Just running rampant. Just concentrating and taking that small pause at the top is enough. Just to keep me internal. Not worrying about any of it. Any days, Dilemmas, Issues or problems. So we'll try that. Just going to breathe in. Please do. Breathe in. Pause. Please do. I'm just gonna continue that. Without me mumbling on in your ears. Just breathe in and pause in your own time. Every time your thoughts. Wunderlof. Return to the pause, Return to the breath. When you breathe in. Just pause. Do a long pause, Short pause. Just a small pause. Staying focused. Staying mindful of the breath. And we're going to change the focus now. I'm gonna change it to the hands. We're going to change it to the inside of our hands. Imagine. Feeling the inside of our hands. But not really, I imagine it, But. . . Focus on what's happening inside our hands. For me this exercise. It's just feeling, It's taking that pause in your breath. Something that we don't normally do during the day. Just focus on something internally. Sometimes I can feel my hands expand as I breathe in. And my hands expand as I breathe out. Sometimes I can feel. The blood flowing through my hands. I'm not here to tell you what you should be feeling. I'm here to only try and guide you. Like a hot air balloon in the sky. You cannae really direct it in a certain way. You're at the beck and call of the wind. I can't eat. Tell you what they think. Only you can do that. Only you know what your hands feel like. Is she pretty then? Just focus on the whole hand now. Focus on only the finger. Thumbs or the palms. The knuckles. Overculturing is a whore hunt. Aye, That's good fun. Through the next focus point. As your eyes. Got to try smiling with her eyes. Priorities are not that outside of our eyes. And the Isle of Wight. Beaming right across her both eyes. For me when I imagined doing this. I can't stop smiling myself. I can't stop thinking good things. I can't stop thinking of the people I love. When they smile. Smile with your eyes. Imagine it. Them seeing you smile. The people you love. Hi. Today. I hope for today. It's just every time. You start thinking about something. And you go, Ah, Why am I thinking of that? Just return to your eyes and just try and smell with your eyes. You've probably heard my smile has increased the more I talk about it. Just take time out of your day to smile. Doesn't have to be anybody, Just. . . Smile. And enjoy your day. Hey, Thanks. This has been fun. Enjoy your tape. Cheers. Thanks.
