Take a moment to sit down and focus on the breath. Our breath is a powerful tool as we go about our day. We tend to have shorter breaths when we feel stressed. Controlling the breath helps us control how we feel.

Hey,

Thanks for tuning back in.

This is Searching for Satya.

My name is Joey.

Today we are doing another guided meditation that just brings a focus into our breath.

So,

As you're listening to this,

Start to draw attention to the breath.

Don't change how you're breathing,

Just become aware of it.

How fast it is,

Maybe it's slow,

And where it sits in the body.

Maybe it's really high up in the chest,

Or it's opening into the lungs.

As you sit here,

Your body is going to continue to relax.

As you meditate,

It will continue to relax,

And so will the muscles.

Maybe take a close in the eyes,

Maybe a soft gaze,

And just focus on one spot in the room.

Focus on the spot that you are in.

Roll your shoulder blades slowly forward,

And then back.

Maybe taking an ear to the shoulder,

And the other ear to the opposite shoulder.

Creating some small movement here,

As you continue to take notice in your breath,

To relax your muscles.

Your body is going to continue to relax.

Again,

Observe the breathing.

Where does it sit in your body?

Start to allow the breath to flow a little bit more deeply.

As you draw the inhale in,

Take notice where it is,

And then let it out.

There's multiple stages to how we breathe.

It may be high in the chest,

In the lungs,

Or into the stomach.

Take another deep inhalation in.

Draw it in through the nose,

Hold it,

And then let it out.

Notice the space in between each breath.

The slight ebb and flow of an inhale to an exhale.

Feel the air through your nose.

Picture the breath flowing through the cavities in your sinus,

And down to your lungs.

Again,

Draw the inhale in,

And see the air.

Draw in through the nose,

Through the cavities of your sinus,

Down into your lungs.

Now see the air filling your body,

Filling your lungs.

Watch as your whole body expands outwards as you inhale.

And with the release of the exhale,

The body becomes small again.

Notice this space in between the inhale to the exhale.

Now as you inhale,

Count silently,

One.

And then exhale,

Count,

One.

For every inhale,

One.

For every exhale,

One.

Continue to count each inhalation and exhalation as one.

Continue here to gradually keep counting.

Inhale,

One.

Exhale,

One.

Inhale,

One.

Exhale,

One.

Waiting for the space that is in between each breath.

Notice how your body feels.

Notice how gentle and calm your breathing is.

Notice how relaxed your body feels.

Now,

As we gently start to re-energize,

Re-awaken,

And revitalize our body,

Keeping your eyes closed,

Notice the sounds around you.

Take notice of my voice,

And then start to feel the floor beneath you.

Feel your clothing,

The temperature of the room,

How it feels on your skin.

Start to wiggle your fingers and your toes.

Maybe taking one ear to one shoulder,

And the opposite ear to the opposite shoulder.

Open your eyes and remain seated for a couple more seconds.

And start to take any movement that allows you to draw that energy back into your body.

Sitting for a few more seconds,

Take notice again of the sounds around you,

Of my voice,

Your clothing,

The temperature.

Notice the subtle change from when our eyes are closed to when our eyes are open.

When you're ready,

Start to allow yourself to come back to a standing position.

Maybe it's back to an upright seated,

And then to a standing.

Take notice of the body,

Take notice of the breath.

Thank you for joining me in today's meditation,

In a guided breathing meditation.

I hope you feel re-energized and re-awakened.

So Hum and Namaste.
