Breathe Here, Be Here.

Breathe into presence with the short and sweet meditation. Neeti guides you into awareness and provides you with tools to come back to later in your day. The only expectation of you as you listen is to breathe right where you are.

Transcript

Welcome.

Find a comfortable seat.

Slide your shoulders onto your back.

Humble your chin a little bit.

And soften the inner and outer corners of your eyes.

Always add one steady point in front of you until it feels natural to close the eyes.

With your eyes closed,

Notice how the other senses perk up.

You may find yourself noticing more sounds or background noises.

Even clinging to the sound of my voice or my next words.

Notice the absence or presence of taste and moisture in your mouth.

Notice the points of contact your skin has with support.

Bring your attention to the tip of your nostrils and the entry point of your breathing.

And focus on the way the air enters.

So the sense of tickle as the air trickles in.

The sense of comfort as the air moves out.

The only expectation of our time together is for you to continue breathing right where you are.

On your inhales,

Think breathe here.

And on your exhales,

Think be here.

Keep your focus simple and on your breath in and on your breath out.

Feel the sense of lifting up as you breathe in and settling down as you breathe out.

Breathe here and be here.

Know that you can come back to these phrases at any point in your day.

Focus on the inhale.

Focus on the exhale.

Feel a sense of presence in your own breath.

Thank you for sitting with me,

For breathing with me today.

And when you're ready to come out of your meditation,

Do so with compassion.

And prepare yourself for the room around you,

For the space around you.

Bring to your mind's eye the light you'll see,

The images you'll see,

And then slowly crack your eyes open.

I hope you can take some part of this meditation into your day.

Remember to breathe right where you are.

Special and lovely. Thank you

Beautiful guidance to presence and calm. Such a soothing voice and I love that there is no distracting music. Thank you, I will return to this often.

This helped me slow down the racing thoughts. Thank you.

this practice was short, yet sweet and in deep alignment with the Gathas method of meditation, using meaningful phrases as mantras attached to the inhale and exhale. I felt a calmness radiating from my forehead as I took the opportunity to breathe deep and detach from past and future through this practice. grateful 😌🙏🏾.
