Transcript

Welcome everyone to your breath awareness meditation.

My name is Megan Farrell and I will be guiding you through your meditation today.

So begin by finding a nice comfortable position.

Spine is nice and long and nothing is obstructing your breathing.

Allow the shoulders to creep away from the ears.

Allow the tongue to be unglued from the roof of the mouth.

Allow yourself to relax fully and completely here.

Then begin to breathe naturally,

Nothing forced,

Just your natural breath pattern.

Now begin to breathe a little deeper,

Allowing the full expansion of the belly.

Allow the breath to travel in through the nose and down into the belly.

Become immersed in this breath.

Inhale into the belly and exhale to let it go.

So begin to notice the air travel in through your nostrils,

Behind the sinuses,

Down through the throat and into the lungs.

And then notice the reverse effect,

Emptying the lungs of the throat through the sinuses and back out the nose.

Notice the quality of the air as you breathe it in,

The temperature of the air and any sensations that arise in the body.

Notice with the exhales that the body becomes lighter and more relaxed.

And when the mind begins to wander,

Know that that is okay.

Acknowledge that it has done that,

But then bring your focus back onto the breath and become immersed with your breathing.

So so so so so so so so so so Begin to breathe a little deeper.

One more full cycle of breath.

And then bring a little movement back into the body,

Wiggling fingers and toes,

Maybe stretching the arms overhead.

Any form of movement that feels good to you here.

And when it feels good to you,

Blinking open the eyelashes and continuing on with your day.

Thank you so much for joining me today for your breath awareness meditation.
