Breath Meditation

Our breath is the most powerful tool that we have. When you need to calm down, deepen your breath. When you're worried about the future, deepen your breath. When you're nervous, deepen your breath. When you're arguing with someone, deepen your breath. You get the idea. Focusing and following your breath is the easiest way to be in this very moment. Being here now is the essence of yoga. It's what life is all about.

Transcript

Breath meditation,

Finding a comfortable seated position and gently closing your eyes,

Bringing the awareness to your breathing,

Slowly breathing in through the nose,

Slowly breathing out through the nose,

Making your exhalations a little bit longer than your inhalations.

Relaxing into your chair,

Notice that with every exhalation your shoulders drift further and further away from your ears and any tension in your body seems to just drift away.

Allow your breath to become smooth,

Soft.

Just taking a moment to think of the stress,

The tension,

Any aches or pains that you may be experiencing,

And with a deep breath in,

Exhale and imagine all of that tension,

That stress,

Those aches and pains leaving the body,

And we'll try that again.

Inhaling deeply through the nose,

But this time exhale,

Opening the mouth,

Letting out a nice big sigh.

Again,

Deep breath in.

Exhale out all of those toxins.

Again,

Deep breath in.

Exhale out the toxins.

Continue this at your own pace.

Breathing in through the nose and exhaling out through the mouth,

Letting go of that stress,

That tension,

The aches and the pains.

Sometimes it's a lot easier said than done to just say,

Let it go.

So maybe make peace with just letting it be.

Breathing in through the nose,

Out through the mouth.

Do that for as long as it feels good.

This is a really nice meditation to do while you're laying in bed before you drift off to sleep.

Allow your breath to heal you.

Allow the breath to soothe you and to relax you.

Very simple and soothing.

Love it 💖 thank you 🙏

Thanks very much:)

Once again lovely soothing feminine voice, though the quality of recording is a bit low volume with noticeable background hiss. Such a lovely voice deserves maybe a better quality recording device. But more meditations please! Your voice is a great gift.

Great before napping. Namaste
