Transcript

In this meditation,

We'll use conscious,

Connected breathing to connect us fully to our bodies in this present moment.

Let's begin.

Sit comfortably and elongate the spine by lifting up through the back of the head.

When the spine is lengthened,

It helps the breath to flow more freely.

If you'd like,

You can close your eyes and just take a moment to notice whatever you're sitting against or lying against,

Just to feel the support of the earth beneath you.

Bring your awareness to your body,

Letting your shoulders and eyes relax.

And then notice the breath before you even begin to shift or change it.

Notice the way your body breathes for you,

By taking a longer and smoother breath and let it go.

And do that one more time in your pace and rhythm.

As you release your breath,

Let any physical tension begin to melt away.

And now as you breathe in and out through the nose or mouth,

See if you can begin to connect the inhales and exhales so that the transitions between the breaths are smooth.

So there's no stopping or starting or hitches in the breath.

Noticing how the inhale just turns over to become the exhale,

And how the exhale can turn over to become the next inhale.

As if the breath is like a turning wheel or a figure eight without any corners,

But sort of a rounded,

Smooth breath.

Now the pace of breathing,

The length of each breath is completely up to you.

To relax the nervous system,

You'll want to make the breaths long and full and slow.

These conscious,

Connected breaths serve to bring you fully into present moment awareness,

Because you're connected to each breath mentally and physically.

You're paying attention on purpose to how the breath feels moving in and out of your body.

Now sometimes people like to do these conscious,

Connected breaths in a faster rhythm.

Burn through or wake up certain emotions that arise.

Feel free to play with the pace and rhythm in a way that serves you,

That keeps you present.

The breath is flowing smoothly in and out of your nose in a connected,

Conscious way.

The nervous system will relax.

The thought stream will slow down.

Your immune system will be stimulated,

And you might just find a sense of inner peace.

Continue as long as you like,

Anytime you like.

Enjoy.
