Hello,
I'm Vimla Sara.
Welcome to Day 1,
A meditation on the breath.
The music today has been composed by Yeshe Shodran,
Also known as Laurie Lesk.
Breath is the place where you can come home to yourself.
When you connect to the breath,
You can restore calm in your heart and mind.
Breath is the pause,
The gap where you can make new choices.
We are inviting you to become more aware of your breathing taking place.
This can be scary for some people,
So we give you some guidelines to help you begin to cultivate more awareness in your life.
This meditation is noticing the mind wandering and bringing it back to the breath.
Each time you notice the mind is wandering,
That's great because you have noticed and are cultivating more awareness.
Once you have noticed,
Gently bring your attention back to the breath.
Let's begin.
Take a breath in and feel the breath filling your body.
Take a breath out and feel the breath leaving your body,
Noticing if there is a deep breath,
Noticing if there is a shallow breath,
Noticing if there is a calm breath,
Noticing if there is a slow breath,
Saying to yourself silently,
Breathing in,
I know I'm breathing in.
Saying to yourself silently,
Breathing out,
I know I'm breathing out.
Breathing in,
I know I'm breathing in.
Breathing out,
I know I'm breathing out.
Now observe your breath lifting and falling for the next three minutes.
When the mind becomes concentrated on the music or caught up in thoughts,
Gently bring it back to the breath lifting and falling.
