Welcome to this classic mindfulness practice, Mindfulness of the breath. Here we are. Why am I practicing this? Simply for being more connected, Grounded, Present, Aware. Let's get into this. In order to settle into the moments, We need to remind ourselves that this is about the art of allowing, Allowing all of our experiences to be. And as you've been doing this, The natural rise and fall of your belly has been continuing its cycle. Gently tune into this experience and rest your awareness here, In breath, Out breath. Tuning into the subtleties of this experience, Such as the way your clothing may move against your skin or any other experience that only you have this felt sense of. Notice any subtle experiences from the breath, Specific aspects that only you can acknowledge when you fine tune into them. And of course, Again and again the mind does want to carry you away. Every single time you notice distraction is a win, Not a moment of failure and an opportunity to come back to the waves of your breath. And now moving your awareness inside your body and notice how your body breathes. Feeling the texture, Sensing into the texture of your breath, In breath, Out breath. Maybe there's a different felt sense experience from the in breath compared to the out breath. Two very similar experiences, But when we tune into them we notice just how different they are. Open up again and allow everything to be absorbed in this moment. This is it. Notice how you are the witness to all of your experiences, Taking the time to thank yourself for opening up a space to practice this. This meditation has come to an end.
