Transcript

Good day.

Let's do a five minute check in for your breath.

Notice your next inhale.

Notice how it comes and goes without you needing to think about it.

Feel where it travels in your body.

Notice how it makes your head feel.

Perhaps with this next breath,

Notice how it relaxes your belly.

Your eyes don't have to be closed.

If they're open,

What are they looking at?

What are you looking for?

Bring your mind back to the breath every time it wanders and has a thought.

Wrap your awareness around this inhale,

This exhale.

And as you watch the breath travel through body,

Allow it to be like a wave of awareness cascading through your cells.

There's no right or wrong way to do this.

You follow the awareness.

Notice if your mind has taken you down a different highway,

Bring it back to breath.

It is a training,

A constant recalibration.

Can you focus on what you're focusing on?

With your next inhale,

Allow the eyes to close if they're not already and create a smile behind them,

Allow,

Invite a smile behind your eyes.

And check in that there's space between the back teeth.

And as your breath wraps around you,

The squeeze of a warm teddy bear,

Allow this contentment to reign.

As the breath comes and goes at its own pace as it wants,

Allow yourself to be swung like a baby in a cradle side to side of the lull between inhale and exhale and inhale and exhale.

Stay here as long as you'd like.
