Easy Simple Mantra With Breath

This is by far the easiest and most used meditation I teach. Using the simple mantra 'I am breathing in, I am breathing out.' Attaching the mantra to the breath, this is a simple, easy meditation to follow for a few minutes of calm.

Transcript

When we begin to focus on our breath we can bring conscious awareness to it,

We become aware that we can use it to calm our entire system.

Be gentle with yourself,

Do not force or rush,

Focus on your breath,

No need to change it,

Without changing anything just as you are right now,

I'd like you to bring awareness to your breath,

Start by becoming aware of your breathing,

And when you have settled into it,

Start by thinking,

I am breathing in as you inhale,

And I am breathing out as you exhale,

Continue this mantra for as long as you wish,

I am breathing in,

I am breathing out,

Gently let go of the breath and your focus on it,

And gently and slowly,

When you are ready,

Bring your focus back to the here and now,

Feel the chair beneath you,

Take a lovely slow deep breath,

And gently open your eyes.
