Breathing Practice

Through the awareness of thoughts and the gentle practice of inner balance, a progressive settling of the mind and body occurs. Inner awareness arises from less effort, creating a natural flow and a sense of ease and peace.

Transcript

Breathing Meditation Begin by sitting on a chair with a straight back.

Hands placed loosely,

Palms up on your lap or with the left hand cupping the right hand,

Palms up.

Carefully close your eyes and find a smooth,

Natural breathing pattern.

Your breath might be slightly deeper and slower than usual,

But it should not be forced or unnatural.

Connect with a normal breath.

If you begin to feel uncomfortable or light headed,

Just adjust your breathing to make it more comfortable.

Now we'll begin to count our breaths.

In and out,

Up to ten.

And then we'll begin at one.

If you should lose track of the count when you do it by yourself,

Just simply start once again.

As you do this,

You'll inevitably find yourself distracted by thoughts,

By emotions or by feelings.

Acknowledge these intrusions and let them go.

Gently and firmly bring your attention back to your breath.

We'll start together.

Inhale Exhale One Inhale Exhale Two Inhale Exhale Three Inhale Exhale Four Inhale Exhale Five Inhale Exhale Six Inhale Exhale Seven Inhale Exhale Eight Inhale Exhale Nine Inhale Exhale Ten Inhale Exhale One Inhale Exhale Two Inhale Exhale Three Inhale Exhale Four Inhale Exhale Five Inhale Exhale Six Inhale Exhale Seven Inhale Exhale Eight Inhale Exhale Nine Inhale Exhale Ten Now continue this on your own,

Taking your attention back to your breath.

And should you lose the count,

Start again at one.

I will watch the time and you'll hear this soft bell.

Take a few breaths in.

And when you hear the soft bell,

Slowly and gently start to open your eyes and become aware of the space you are in.

Gently stretch and commence your day.
