Transcript

Welcome to another stress-fit meditation.

Sit in any comfortable meditative posture.

Maintain a nice straight back.

Hands on your knees or palms facing up if you wish to lay down for this practice.

Gently close your eyes and mouth.

Let's start by taking a deep breath in through the nose and out through the nose.

Start being very conscious of your breath.

Control your breathing through your diaphragm.

This is done by pushing your belly out as far as you can and then allowing it to naturally relax.

Inhale by pushing your belly out.

Exhale by allowing your belly to relax.

Now extend your exhalation by pulling your navel into your spine,

Ensuring you release all the air from your body.

Keep your attention on your belly.

Control the flow of your breath.

Allow your body to take in as much oxygen as possible by using the deep belly breathing method.

Start to slow down your breath by pushing your belly out slower.

Start in a slight pause at the top of your breath and slowly allow your belly to relax.

Feel the relaxation starting to take place.

Witness the rise and fall of your belly for the next few moments.

Now add in a pause at the end of your breath.

Be very aware of your breath.

Follow your breath as it flows in and out of your body.

Be only with your breath.

One breath at a time.

Feel the coolness spread through your body with each inhalation and the calmness taking place with each exhalation.

Breathing in and out with a calmness of mind and body.

Set the intention to fully relax your body.

Keep your attention in your body.

Keep your attention in your breath.

Focus on your belly breathing.

Your thoughts will start to subdue as you relax and enjoy the calmness and serenity that surrounds you.

Feel your whole body.

Have any physical sensations that may arise.

Be mindful of any sensations.

Simply observe and stay as the witness to all physical sensations.

Effortlessly watching.

Noticing.

Breathing in through the nose.

Breathing out through the nose.

Keep your attention in your body.

Keep your attention in your breath.

Be aware of your breath.

As you inhale,

Feel the air soothe your muscles.

Relaxing and observing.

Breathing in through the nose.

Breathing out through the nose.

Breathing in the essence of peace.

Breathing out the energy of stress.

Now let go of your senses.

Let go of your breath.

Let go of your mind.

Let go of your body.

Simply let go of everything and fall into a deep state of emptiness.

Completely switch off and allow yourself to fade away into this moment.

Relaxing.

Observing.

Simply being in your own presence.

Allow each breath to take you into a deeper state of relaxation.

Loved how simple the practice was and just kept brining you back to present moment. How there's pauses and not just talking the whole time, which allows you to sink deeper into a inner state of awareness. I keep coming back to this meditation, its my favorite 😍 thank you!

I am struggling with getting back to diaphragm breathing. This was a great start. If you have any more like this, I am totally open to it. I am a runner and I feel like I cannot get my rhythm back into diaphragm breathing. Which I believe is causing some gut issues . thank you for this meditation and being with me on my run this morning

Great way to re-energize the lungs and breath. Most of us breathe at a very shallow rate myself included and this meditation cleans the lungs and toxins from the body. Thank you for creating this meditation.
