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.
