Updated Soft Belly Meditation (Softer Bell & With Music)

This is an updated version of the 5-minute Soft Belly Meditation. The loud bell has been replaced, there is background music and it's slightly longer than the original meditation. The Soft Belly Meditation is a fast and easy way to relax the body by activating the Vagus Nerve (the nerve responsible for the regulation of internal organ functions, such as digestion, heart rate, and respiratory rate). Use this approach to calm you down immediately in very stressful situations. Enjoy!

Transcript

Find yourself in a comfortable seated position.

Feet flat on the floor if you're sitting on a chair or across your legs on the floor or on your bed.

Make sure your spine is erect,

Chin slightly lower.

And I invite you now to close your eyes or to rest your eyes.

Begin to notice your breathing.

Breathe slowly and calmly,

Just watching the flow of your breath.

Breathe in through your nose and gently out through your mouth.

Let the stomach be soft as you breathe.

Feel it gently rise and fall.

And as you breathe in,

Repeat the words soft to yourself.

And as you exhale,

Repeat the word belly.

Continue like this and imagine your belly softening with each breath.

Inhaling the image soft and exhale belly.

Allow your body to feel a bit more present with each breath.

Feel the vagus nerve of your body,

The nerve responsible for relaxation begin to activate,

Allowing the mind to calm and bringing you into the moment.

And as you exhale,

Repeat the words soft to yourself.

And as you exhale,

Repeat the words soft to yourself.

Soft belly.

Soft belly.

Soft belly.

Soft belly.

Soft belly.

Soft belly.

Soft belly.

Soft belly.

Soft belly.

Now,

I invite you to gently bring your awareness back into the room.

Take a slightly deeper inhale.

Wiggle your fingers and your toes.

And when you hear the sound of the bell,

You may open your eyes.
