It is working with people.
Channels.
It is.
Through networks by society,
And the society that is You Welcome to meditation with Dr.
Wei and musician Ryan Ferreira.
Today we'll be doing a simple breath awareness for the first half of this guided meditation and the second half will be music so that you can do a breath awareness at your own pace.
We're recording this from New York and wishing everyone a safe and healthy week.
Begin to settle into your body and notice how your breath is feeling today.
It's possible that you feel more tension in your body.
Often we carry tension and stress in different areas of our body.
Sometimes it can be the jaw or the neck or the shoulders and just notice without any judgment how that feels.
As we begin to take a deep breath in through your nose,
Breathe in gently and then exhale through your mouth.
Sigh that on out.
Taking a deep breath in again through your nose and then exhale.
Sigh that on out.
Start to notice how your breath feels on the way in as you inhale for two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
And then pause for two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Exhale for two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Start to take another breath in through your nose for two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Pause here for two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
For two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
And then exhale,
Release for two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Start to notice if there's an area of your body which you might have noticed earlier that is holding any tension and we'll send that breath there and allow it to fill that space and relax.
Taking a deep breath in through your nose for two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Imagine you're sending your breath to that space.
Pause there and let that energy sink into that tense area just like a warm towel might relax.
A place on your body,
Exhale and release.
Let go of any tension there for two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Take a deep breath in and imagine that breath energy flowing to that space in your body for two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Pause and let that grounding energy relax just like a warm towel placed there and exhale for two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
There's also a way to use phrases instead of counting and I invite you to explore that.
For example,
I take a deep breath in and allow this positive and grounding energy come into my body.
I pause and allow that positive and calming energy sink in and then I exhale and release any negative or stressful energy.
I breathe in,
Allow that calming and grounding energy in.
I pause and let that grounding energy settle in and then I exhale and release any stressful or negative energy.
Continue to notice the flow of your breath in and the gentle flow of your breath out.
I invite you to take a deep breath in for two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Hold for two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
And then exhale for two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Continue at your own pace as it feels comfortable.
Maybe it feels restful to place one hand over your chest,
The other hand feels comfortable to place your hand over your chest,
The other hand feels comfortable.
Maybe it feels restful to place one hand over your chest,
The other hand over your abdomen to notice the flow of your breath in and the flow of your breath out.
Thank you for joining us here on meditation with Dr.
Wei and Ryan Ferreira.
We're wishing you a safe and healthy week.
So so so so
