Welcome to day one of the awareness sequence.
We will start this sequence with our breath,
Our life force.
The breath is the foundation of your being.
It is the one experience that will always bring us right in the present moment.
Now let's start by getting very comfortable in your seat.
Make sure you sit in an upright position with your head free from falling.
Your position should feel completely effortless.
Placing a cushion in your middle back can give you extra support.
I invite you now to close down your eyes and allow yourself to arrive here and now in the moment.
Let your spine be long,
Ground down through your sit bones.
Feel the crown of your head reach the sky above.
Feeling heavy and rooted with the base of your body touching your chair.
And feel the sense of effortlessness through your body.
Begin to feel the sensations of your lungs.
And noticing the natural rhythm of your breath.
You may now shift your awareness from your body to your breath.
And notice where do you feel your breath.
Observe each breath without trying to adjust it.
And as you do so you may find that your mind wanders off onto thoughts or physical sensations.
And that's okay.
You may notice this and gently and kindly bring your awareness back to your breath.
And notice that your body slowly starts to settle when you engage with your breath.
Understanding how your body becomes more and more relaxed.
We are now shifting from normal breathing to belly breathing.
And when you are breathing into your belly you draw the breath down towards your belly.
Now in your own time take a slow and steady breath in.
Feeling your body rise as you do so.
And breathe out watching your belly gently recede.
Breathing in feeling your belly rise.
And breathing out feeling your belly fall.
A little bit of movement in your chest is perfectly okay.
But for the most part it's your belly that's doing the rising and falling of your breath.
And breathing this way helps to rebalance your oxygen and carbon dioxide ratios.
It improves your circulation and it strengthens your heart and lungs.
Continue to notice your belly expanding on the inhale.
And soften and releasing on the exhale.
And feeling your body releasing all the tension.
Becoming relaxed.
And calm.
And peaceful.
I invite you now to watch your breath as it flows through your body.
Placing your awareness on your breath wherever it lands for you.
It might be on the tip of your nose,
At the back of your throat,
At the top of your chest or at the bottom of your belly.
Just feel the physical sensations when it enters and leaves your body.
And when you happen to realize you've been caught in a train of thoughts or emotions,
Be okay with it.
Be gentle to yourself.
Roaming off onto thoughts is an integral part of the process.
So there's no need to blame yourself.
You will be sure to wander off again.
And whenever you happen to remember,
You're no longer resting your awareness on your breath.
Just kindly and gently return back to your breath.
Bye.
