Hi there and welcome to this breathing meditation.

I invite you to sit comfortably.

Find a position that will allow you to stay alive throughout the meditation.

Sometimes keeping the back straight can help.

Relax your shoulders and let your arms rest on your laps.

Close your eyes and bring your full attention to your breathing.

Let's take a couple of deep breaths together.

Inhale deeply.

Let's do that again one more time.

Inhale deeply.

And exhale.

Now focus on your breath.

Notice the air coming in and out.

Notice how it feels touching the entrance of the nostrils.

Notice how fresh it feels coming in and how warm it feels going out.

Breathe and observe.

If this breathing exercise is new for you,

Feel free to breathe louder,

Harder or in any way you can easily observe the breath.

And once you notice that you can easily be present with your breath,

Go ahead and start breathing naturally and let it just flow.

In and out.

Just breathe and observe.

Keep breathing.

Keep observing.

This exercise is to keep us present and focus on one thing only.

At this moment,

There is no past,

There is no future.

We are in the present.

The only moment that matters right now and right here.

While breathing,

You might notice that your mind is wandering and your attention is somewhere else.

If that happens,

Be kind to yourself and try to bring back your attention to your breathing with a smile and compassion for yourself.

Keep breathing.

Keep observing.

Keep noticing and keep being present.

Now before we finish,

Let's send some love and peace to ourselves and to all beings.

If you would like,

You can repeat this word with me.

May I be free from danger and suffering.

May I be happy and loving.

May all beings be free from danger and suffering.

May all beings be happy and loving.

Let's do that again one more time.

May I be free from danger and suffering.

May I be happy and loving.

May all beings be free from danger and suffering.

May all beings be happy and loving.

Take all the time you need to stay here with your breath and when you are ready,

Draw your palms together to your heart and start noticing the noises around you and feeling the contact of the cloud on your skin.

And when you are ready,

Go ahead and open your eyes gently.

Thank you for meditating with me today.

My name is Sa and I wish you a wonderful day.
