And the following is a mindful breath exercise.
And allow yourself a few moments to find a comfortable position.
And you can be seated and perhaps lying down.
And if it feels alright for you,
You can gently flicker your eyes to a close.
Or perhaps just find a fixed gaze to focus on.
And once you have arrived in your position,
Just allow yourself to notice the natural rhythm of your breath.
No need to change anything.
Just simply observe your breath.
And just begin to draw more awareness to the natural in and the natural out.
And on your next inhale,
Begin to breathe up.
Think belly,
Ribs,
And chest.
And then out,
Chest,
Ribs,
Belly.
And then just notice that three part in and three part out at your own pace.
And then slowly begin to let that go.
Allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm.
And then just begin to explore how your body is feeling in this moment right now.
And letting go of any judgment and simply just being present with body,
Mind,
And breath.
And allowing yourself to sink a little deeper into yourself.
Giving yourself permission to be in this state of stillness.
And then again,
Start to draw more awareness back into the in and into the out breath.
And together,
Breathe in belly,
Ribs,
Chest.
And exhale out,
Chest,
Ribs,
Belly.
Belly,
Ribs,
Chest.
And chest,
Ribs,
Belly.
And slowly let that go.
Allowing again your breath to return to its natural rhythm.
And then ever so slowly,
Begin to reopen your eyes.
Re-engage with the space around you.
And notice how you can return to your day perhaps with a bit more calm and a bit more presence.
And this concludes our mindful breath meditation.
Namaste.
