Hi there and welcome to this binaural beats meditation.
Binaural beats is a way to put your brain into a specific wavelength.
Just make sure you're listening to this in headphones as it's a requirement for the binaural beats to work properly.
Yeah,
My name is Max Sokoleski and I'll be your guide through this meditation.
The whole journey takes about 15 minutes and my only request to you is this short time and give yourself a well-deserved pause,
Opportunity to reboot,
Recharge and just be generous with yourself.
Turn off all your notifications and make sure you're undisturbed.
In this meditation,
We use alpha waves.
The brain is in an alpha wave state when you're relaxed,
When you're at ease.
Alpha waves are good for flow states,
Decreased anxiety and positive thinking and we're gonna use your breath as the anchor throughout this meditation.
Let's begin.
Begin by finding a comfortable seated position with your back straight and hands resting on your knees and hey,
It's absolutely fine to lay down if you prefer doing that.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
Exhale through your mouth with a sigh.
Breathe in,
Release,
Slowly close your eyes,
Continue to breathe and stay as present as you can with your breath.
Just lean back,
Just let the outer world take care of itself for a while.
There is where to be right now but here,
Right here,
In this very moment,
This split second,
This sliver,
Just keep breathing,
Breathe in through your nose,
Release through your mouth,
Breathe in,
You breathe in,
You fill your body with energy,
With clarity,
With focus,
With joy and as you exhale,
You let go of any stress or restlessness,
Anxiety,
Worries,
All that is leaving your body on every out-breath,
Breathe in and let go or breathe in through your nose and sigh and let go out through your mouth.
Bring your full attention to your breath,
Gonna continue to breathe but only using your nose.
So we're gonna breathe in through the nose from here on and out through the nose,
Focus on the sensation of the air entering and leaving your nostrils,
Notice the smooth airflow entering and leaving,
Feel the temperature of the air,
Feel the texture of your breath,
Is it smooth,
Is it choppy,
How does it flow,
Don't fix anything,
Don't correct anything,
Just let it come like a wave and release like a wave,
Lean back,
Lean into your breath,
The body breathe you,
Let go,
You are now just observing,
You are now resting in your breath and should your mind wander away,
That's fine,
Don't worry,
It does that,
Gently bring your presence back to your breathing,
Notice your belly rising as you breathe in and slowly coming down as you breathe out,
It's a wonderful motion to observe,
It's mesmerizing,
Just follow your breath with your focus,
With your presence,
With your curiosity,
Breathe in and release,
Going to leave you for a bit and return when it's time to complete,
Enjoy yourself and your breath fully and completely,
So curious,
Just let it come and go,
Yeah,
Now slowly return to your body to feel the different parts of your body and should have you fallen asleep,
That is just fine as the binaural beats are effective just the same,
Now just return to the present moment in the here and now,
Start wiggling your toes a little bit,
Then your fingers,
Perhaps yawn a little and finally gently open your eyes and become present to the space and the environment that you're in,
Thank you for meditating with me,
Breathe gently and enjoy your day and I'll speak to you soon again,
Much love
