All right,
Welcome to Nalu Mind the Flow Day 5.
Welcome and welcome back.
If you're returning,
I'm so grateful to have you come back again and if it's your first day,
Welcome,
Welcome.
Thank you for being here.
Today Nalu has been observing the breath in many different ways over the last several days and the reason they're doing this is they're,
They're noticed,
They noticed earlier on that there were waves in the world around them,
There were waves in the water and waves in the wind and,
And they wanted to see what the waves might look like inside their body.
So they started noticing and concentrating and observing different sensations of how the breath,
The most familiar wave they have,
Moves in and out of the body.
And from a very kind of broad spectrum to moving into more of a tight spectrum,
They began to notice the breath as it moved into and moved out of the body and where it touches the body on the inhale and on the exhale.
So for today,
We'll follow Nalu again as we notice the touch of the breath as it moves in through the nostrils or in through the mouth or a combination of both.
And we notice the touch of the breath as it exhales,
Maybe slightly more moist or slightly warmer out from the body as it exhales naturally.
And so we'll stand by when you can have your eyes opened or closed and just observing as Nalu does,
We're observing the breath as it moves into the body and observing the breath as it moves out of the body and specifically here around the place where the air touches us as it moves in and out.
And you might be wondering,
What is this touch that Nalu is talking about?
Where's this touch?
I don't feel anything on the body and that's totally okay too.
There are times when the breath is soft and the breath is subtle and there might not be a specific sensation as the breath moves in and out.
But be assured that the breath is still continuing to move in and out of the body and just observe maybe the rise and fall of the chest or maybe the sound or sensation of how the air moves through the nostrils or through the throat.
The air can touch the body in many ways and our job today is just to notice and observe how the air moves in and out of the body.
And as we follow Nalu on this journey,
Nalu is noticing sometimes as they're noticing the sensations,
They're also experiencing other sensations on the body,
Maybe some dryness or some moisture or maybe some heat or some coolness or at times an itchiness or other sensation.
And all of these are okay,
Perfectly expected and natural to be feeling these.
Nalu realizes that if they just observe those sensations and then return back to where the touch of the breath is coming in and out of the body,
It's a very simple way to bring the attention back.
And if the attention is wandering,
The mind has started to tell stories,
That's very totally acceptable.
Nalu knows now,
Especially after several days,
That they can just naturally bring the attention back to the touch of the breath on the body and just notice where that breath goes into and goes out from the body and just returns their attention back to that.
And as Nalu continues to notice the breathing move into and out from the body,
They notice that the quality of the breath might change throughout the process of observation.
And they notice that it might change from breath to breath or it might change over the period of time.
And they just stand by and watch and notice and observe as maybe the touch of the breath changes slightly as that happens or as they spend more and more time observing the touch.
And after some time,
Nalu begins to notice the other sensations that are happening on the body and begins to notice some of the sounds and feelings and indicators that are coming from the world around them.
And they begin to return to regular daily awareness with a little bit more energy and a little bit more curiosity about themselves and about their surroundings.
And I want to thank everybody for joining us today for Nalu's journey.
Today was day five and I look forward to seeing you again on a future day.
Welcome,
Thank you,
And I hope you've enjoyed.
