Welcome to this Amine Breathing Meditation.
Every breath you will take should come in through the mouth and out through the mouth.
This may trigger emotions.
Before doing this meditation,
Please check in with yourself to make sure that this feels right for you today.
You will need to bring your full attention to this meditation.
This is a meditation to bring you into your body and to connect you with your heart energy.
It is about letting go of control using a conscious breath in and out through the mouth.
Make sure you are in a space where you feel safe and willing to open to what your body is holding.
Close your eyes,
Put your hand to your heart space and take a deep full breath into your lungs.
As you exhale,
Bring the breath out through the mouth.
On your next breath,
As you bring the breath into your lungs,
See if you can make a connection between the air coming into your body and the hand that is holding your heart space.
What does it feel like in your heart?
Take another breath in and out through the mouth.
Notice the sensations.
Notice if there's tightness,
If it feels restricted,
If it feels free.
What are the emotions in there?
Take another breath in and out through the mouth.
Allow it to fall freely out of your mouth on the exhale as a way of letting go of whatever tension or tightness is holding in your body.
What would it be like to allow a sound on the out breath?
So breathing in and out.
How does that feel to let go?
On your next breath,
Notice if there's anywhere that the breath gets stuck.
Does it get stuck in your throat?
What about your mouth?
Can you allow your mouth to be fully relaxed on the out breath?
So the air and all your awareness comes into your body and then you let go as you breathe out.
Notice if there's another part of your body that's calling for your attention.
Imagine as you bring your breath into your body that you send some breath anywhere that feels tight or restricted.
Give your body permission to let go.
As you continue to breathe in and out through the mouth,
Notice what your mind is doing.
Notice if it's busy.
Notice if it's resisting.
Notice if it has something to say about whether you're doing it right or what it's like to make a sound as you breathe out.
Notice any resistance in your body,
Any physical feelings of hanging on.
And with each out breath,
See if you can allow yourself to let the breath fall out of your body,
Taking with it anything you no longer need.
On your next in breath,
Follow the breath in,
Feel the breath go over your tongue,
Down your throat and into your heart space.
How does it feel in there?
Does it feel tight,
Restricted,
Free,
Sad,
Angry,
Joyful,
Frustrated,
Annoyed,
Disgusted,
Numb?
All feelings are welcome.
Now become aware again of your hand holding your heart.
As you bring your next breath in,
Feel what it's like to connect the energy in your heart with your hand.
How does it feel to hold your own heart?
Notice how full your breaths are,
How far you can bring your breath into your body,
Into your lungs.
Feel the air filling you into your lungs as you bring your breath in through the mouth.
Notice what it feels like to let the air go again,
Freely through the mouth.
Notice if you tighten your mouth or your jaw.
Notice what your mind is telling you.
How much can you allow your full attention and presence in your heart space?
Notice if you get distracted and come back to the breath,
There is only this breath.
As we bring this practice to a close,
Take advantage of a few more full conscious breaths in and out through the mouth.
Ahh.
And as you pass through your day,
Remind yourself to stop,
Breathe,
Check in with yourself,
Feel how it feels in your body.
Thank you for joining me today.
