Welcome. I want you to find a comfortable position, Whether it's sitting, Lying down, Even standing, Whatever feels right for you and you feel comfortable. Now take a deep breath in and through the nose, Deep into the lungs and then out. And once more and push the air into the belly so the belly extends and out. And then once more deep filling up the lungs and the belly hold. And in your own time, Let all the air out. Now I want your attention to be on breathing in and out, Feeling the breath come through your nose, Or through your mouth, Whichever is right for you. And as you breathe in and out, I want your attention to just be where you can feel the breath on the side of the nostrils or around the mouth. And just focus on that for a moment, Just breathing in and out and feeling the breath. And if your attention waves, Then bring it back to the breath. Meditation is not about no thought. It's about being in and out and feeling that breath. And if your attention waves, It's not about no thought. It's about just coming back to the breath, Coming back to breathing in and out and letting the thoughts just drift away. So just coming back to where you feel the breath on the side of the nostril and the mouth, Just breathing in and out, Just in your own time and as deep as you want. Breathing in and out. Just coming back to the breath when you get distracted, Getting distracted is okay, Happens to all of us. Okay. So keep breathing in and out and I'll let you know when five minutes is up. Ah. Ah. Ah.
