Transcript

Hello and welcome.

This is a five minute breath awareness practice that can help settle the mind and support calm and focus.

So let's begin by transitioning to being here in this moment.

Not thinking about where you just came from or where you have to go to next.

Just drop your shoulders,

Soften the jaw,

And begin to notice your breath.

Breathing in and breathing out,

Settling into your seat.

Noticing where the breath shows up most vividly or distinctly for you.

It may be at the tip of your nose where the air enters a bit cool and exits a little bit warmer.

Or maybe you notice the breath in the expansion of the belly as you breathe in and the slight contraction of the belly as you breathe out.

Wherever you feel the breath most vividly,

Just notice and pay attention to the breath as it enters the body and exits the body.

Breathing in and breathing out.

And if of course you find that your mind has wandered because that's what the mind does,

Just notice where it is that the mind went.

Acknowledge it and gently bring your attention back to this moment,

To this breath.

Sensing the rhythm of the inhalation and the exhalation.

Again and again,

Bringing your attention back to each inhalation and each exhalation.

Breathing in and breathing out with your mind's full attention.

And as we come to the conclusion of this meditation,

Coming to a place of gratitude for this time spent for self-care,

For attending to the body and mind.

Thank you.
