Transcript

Welcome to this mantra meditation.

I invite you to find a comfortable position.

Gently close your eyes.

There is no right or wrong here.

Straighten your spine.

Gently pull your shoulders down and back.

Tuck your chin back towards your spine to lengthen your neck.

And now I invite you to come inward with me.

All there is to do is listen to my voice and observe your breath.

Take a moment to observe how you're breathing.

Are you breathing through your nose or your mouth?

Is it shallow or deep?

Slow or fast?

Do you tend to push it or hold it?

On your next inhale,

I invite you to take the deepest breath you have taken all day.

Through your nose,

Inhale,

Filling your abdomen,

Chest,

Then collarbone.

And with control,

Exhale through your nose.

Pull your abdomen towards your spine to get all the air out.

Now let's pick our mantra.

Mentally I invite you to finish the mantra,

I am.

I recommend that you use whatever popped into your mind as it is typically a message from your body.

But feel free to change it to whatever you would like.

In Eastern practice,

We use the same mantra over and over until it is brought to light and understanding.

Mantras give our mind something to focus on internally.

And because sound vibrates inside of us,

We use this understanding to create sounds that turn our focus inwards rather than focusing outwards.

Gently settle on a mantra.

We are going to repeat I am on the inhale and you will finish your mantra on the exhale.

Fill your stomach and mentally repeat I and fill your chest and collarbone as you repeat am.

Exhale and complete your mantra.

Inhale into your stomach,

I,

Chest and collarbone,

Am.

Exhale and complete your mantra.

Inhale I am and exhale.

Inhale I am and exhale.

Keep syncing the mantra with your breath.

Inhale exhale.

Inhale exhale.

Inhale I am and exhale.

Inhale I am and exhale.

Inhale I am and exhale.

I invite you to release the mantra.

Look inside and see how you feel.

Do you feel any different?

And now I invite you to bring your awareness back to the physical world.

Bring your attention to your body where your body contacts the floor or chair beneath you.

Bring your awareness back to your presence in the room.

Wiggle your fingers and toes.

And whenever you are ready,

I invite you to slowly open your eyes.

Namaste.
