Welcome to this five minute mindfulness of breath guided meditation.
Getting situated,
Make sure that you're comfortable either sitting or laying down,
Ensuring that your spine is straight.
When you're ready,
Gently begin to close your eyes and allow yourself to drop in.
Taking a deep breath in and out.
Taking a deep breath in and letting it out with a sigh.
As you continue breathing,
Bring your awareness to the present moment.
Bringing your full attention to your breath.
And start to notice how your breath moves throughout your body.
Notice the rise and fall that occurs within.
And let go of everything else,
Solely focusing on your breath.
Inhale deeply and begin to notice the sensation of your breathing.
Notice if the air is cold or warm.
And note how it feels when it enters your nostrils or your mouth.
Pay attention to the breath moving within you,
Hitting the back of your throat.
And maybe you can feel it in your body,
How it makes your chest or stomach rise and fall.
Focus on the flow of your breath and the energy and quality with which you breathe.
There is nothing else to do but breathe.
There is nowhere else to be but here and now.
Breathe.
If you notice your mind starting to wander,
Don't worry,
That's normal.
Gently bring it back towards your breathing.
Focusing once again on the sensations,
On the rise and the fall.
Every time you notice,
Your mind shifts.
And breathe.
Be present.
Allowing a sense of calm to wash over you.
And if it feels right,
Maybe even a small smile.
Continue breathing and cultivating presence as long as it feels good,
As long as you need.
And when you're ready,
Slowly begin to come back to your body with the next breath coming back to the boom that you're in.
Coming back to everything that is happening around.
Slowly beginning to move now,
Perhaps wiggling your toes or moving your arms.
And when you are ready,
Open your eyes.
I want to thank you for taking the time to meditate with me today.
Namaste.
