Present Moment Awareness with the Breath

Enjoy this short meditation as a way to bring yourself into the present moment using the breath as your anchor.

Transcript

So just allowing your eyes to close if that feels comfortable for you.

Allowing your body to settle into a comfortable posture.

And we'll begin by taking three purposeful breaths.

And on the exhale,

I'd like you to think about releasing.

Releasing the breath coming out of your body.

Releasing any tightness or tension in your body.

And releasing any involuntary thoughts if you can.

And when you feel ready,

Just bringing your attention to the tip of your nose and beginning to feel the in-breath as it comes into your body.

And the out-breath as it goes out of your body.

Just working with the normal,

Natural breath.

Whatever feels comfortable for you.

Feeling the sensations of the in-breath coming into your body.

And the sensations of the out-breath as it travels out of your body.

Allowing yourself to feel relaxed as we practice one breath at a time.

Your thoughts may wander as we're doing this,

And that's okay.

When you notice that your attention has drifted away,

Just see if in a gentle way you can bring it back to the breath and begin again.

Just feeling the in-breath as it travels in through your nose or mouth.

And the out-breath as it travels out.

Letting go of doing and just being.

Beginning with the breath.

When you feel ready,

You can gently allow your eyes to open.

And the out-breath as it travels in through your nose or mouth.

Very short but meaningful. Great for a little pause in your day to calm the spirit.

Excellent breath meditation. Perfect for keeping it simple in the mornings.

Thanks! I like the bells and the simple breath instruction. Great for a 5 minute mindfulness reminder.

The bell at the beginning and end was too high pitched for me. I have hyperacusis, a noise sensitivity- otherwise this was very nice
