Welcome to Breathe With Me. I'm Rev. Skip, And this is a series of pranayama practices so that we can become aware of when and how we are breathing. Today's breath meditation is called Bach's Breathing, Or I like to call it the Breath of Balance. So if you're ready, Let's begin. Find a place where you can sit and relax. You can even do this meditation lying down. Go ahead and close your eyes or lower your gaze towards your heart. So the Bach's Breathing is exactly how it sounds. We breathe for an even count of four. We will inhale for four counts, Hold the breath for four counts, Exhale for four counts, And stay empty for four counts. It creates a sense of balance, And it centers ourselves. Remember, Pranayama is about breath awareness. So be aware of when you breathe in, How you feel when you hold your breath. Be aware of how you exhale. Be aware of the energy you might feel when you hold the breath. So let's take a deep breath in, And a full exhale, Release the breath. Let's inhale for one count, Two, Three, Four, Hold your breath for four, Three, Two, One, Exhale for four, Three, Two, One, And stay empty for four, Three, Two, One. Take a nice deep breath in, Big exhale. This time, As you breathe, I want you to visualize a square. Each side is strong, Steady, Connected, And balanced. Take a deep breath in, Big exhale. Here we go. Breathe in for one, Two, Three, Four, Hold the breath for four, Three, Two, One, Release the breath slowly for four, Three, Two, One, And stay empty for four, Three, Two, One. Take a deep breath in, Big exhale. This time, As you breathe in, In your box, Breathing, Or breath of balance, I want you to feel the connectedness, Feel grounded, Calm, And clear. Let's do this. Take a deep breath in to begin. Big exhale. Let's breathe in for one, Two, Three, Four, Hold the breath at the top for four, Three, Two, One, Exhale for four, Three, Two, One, And stay empty for four, Three, Two, One. Take a nice deep breath in, Big exhale. Just notice how you're breathing. Notice how you're feeling. There is no judgments. It's only awareness. We're going to do it one more time. This is our fourth round, Our round of balance and centering. Let's begin. Take a nice deep breath in through the nostrils first. Exhale your breath. Begin by breathing in for one, Two, Three, Four, Hold the breath at the very top for four, Three, Two, One, Slow exhale for four, Three, Two, One, And stay empty for four, Three, Two, One. Big inhale and just feel. No judgments and love yourself for being able to breathe. Be aware. Be centered. Give a little gratitude for your practice of breathing. Bring your awareness back into the room by simply wiggling your fingers, Your toes, Slowly opening up your eyes. Thank you so much for joining me today on this breathing meditation, Breath of balance. I'm Rev Skip and remember, Transformation is a choice and you chose today. Peace and blessings.
