A Quick Recalibration: Coming Back To Calm

This is a lovely little meditation for those moments throughout the day when you just need to breathe. For the morning when one thing goes wrong and it feels like the whole day will continue cascading into chaos. This quick little practice will be your trusty little pick-me-up. Because remember, one moment is just that: it's one moment. You always have the power to turn it around. In fact, every breath is an opportunity for rebirth. You've got this! Breathe and be reborn - again and again!

Transcript

Find a comfortable seat wherever you are.

You could be in bed,

On the couch,

In the car.

Gently release any tension in the face,

The neck,

The shoulders,

Softening the space between your eyebrows.

Allow yourself to drop in.

Gently close the eyes if it's available to you,

Tuning inward,

Bringing your awareness towards each inhale and each exhale.

And with this awareness deepening,

Creating length in the expansion of the inhale and depth in the contraction of the exhale.

Connecting to this rhythm of breath,

Allowing yourself to really feel what it feels like to breathe.

And because this is not a conscious action,

So often in our lives we forget to breathe,

Or we hold the breath,

Or we don't realize or remember that the breath is available to us.

And yet it is the most powerful tool.

And it is always available in every situation and circumstance.

So remember the breath in this mindfulness practice and as you go about your day.

Use the breath as an anchor to tether you into this present moment,

This particular time and space.

And as you sit wherever you are today,

Tapping into this breath,

This life force,

Allow it to help you,

Allow it to heal you.

Take a big inhale,

Fill up through the nose,

Let the chest expand,

Hold it at the top,

Sip in a little bit more air,

Open mouth exhale,

Let it go.

Again like that,

Big inhale,

Fill up,

Hold it at the top,

Sip in a little more air,

And exhale,

Let it go.

Once more just like that,

Biggest inhale of the day,

Fill up,

Hold it at the top,

One more sip,

Exhale,

Let it go.

Remember you have this breath with you always.

Don't forget to use it.

At any point throughout the day you can close your eyes and take three deep breaths and be transported back to this place,

To this grounded and still and calm state.

You just have to remember to breathe.
