Breathing meditation.
Take a comfortable seat in a chair or lay flat on a comfortable surface with your lower back supported and your spine long and straight.
Close your eyes or soften your eyelids so you have a gentle focus.
Take three deep breaths as you squeeze your shoulders up to your ears and then release them as you exhale.
Breathe in through your nose,
Belly,
Chest and relax your shoulders as you breathe out through your nose.
Breathe in through your nose,
Belly,
Chest and exhale slowly.
Breathe in through your nose,
Belly,
Chest and relax as you breathe out through your nose.
Let your body fall into its natural breathing rhythm.
Notice where you feel your breathing most easily.
Perhaps it is your upper lip,
Your nose,
The back of your throat,
Your chest or your belly rising and falling.
Whatever you choose,
This is your anchor.
It is holding you in the moment.
It is holding you in the moment and it is always there for you.
It is always with you.
If you find your mind drifting or repeating thoughts,
Let your mind do what it wants to do and then gently bring it back to your breath,
Your anchor.
May your mind be in the moment.
May your mind be in the moment.
May your mind be in the moment.
Take this meditation experience as it is.
It will be different on different days.
And with every day,
Make to calm yourself.
