Now let's start to meditate.
So creating a nice comfortable seat for yourself,
We'll just work on again another simple breath meditation.
Breathing is going to help us to relax our mind and our body to get into the moment,
To get to know ourselves on a very basic biological level,
To get to know our breath,
To begin and develop a impactful relationship to ourselves on our breath and what our breath can do for us.
So with your eyes open and just soften in a gaze and focus in the eyes gently out in front of you in one space and one not even one item just like kind of take a panoramic view of the world without labeling shapes,
Without trying to decipher colors or really interpret any of that data and information that is streaming through your eyeballs.
Let's just start with some big breaths in and exhale out your mouth.
Let's do four more of those bigger breath inhale inhale inhale exhale let it go two more inhale that's it let it go one more inhale with this exhale just slowly let your eyes drift close feel the experience of your breath without that visual reference and see if you can get create more contact with your breath because we have cut ourselves off from that visual information what kind of information or experience can you have and just being aware of it not trying to define it or explain it to yourself or give it any more energy than just being aware of how your breath feels in your body what your breath is doing for your body and your mind and your mind and just let go of everything except for that simple concentration on our breath so so let this breath be a nice smooth natural flow of breath so really just being receptive and a receptacle of our breath like a wave just gently and naturally pulling and growing the exhale letting that wave just kind of spill and drop and release that energy so just working and gently working to craft your breath into a smooth rhythmic flow and try to let everything else go go a little bit deeper and feel yourself your physical self in this space the way your sit bones are grounding you whatever contact that you're making as you sit the sit bones I'm sitting in varasana so I can experience the contact that my body's making with my shins and my ankles and my feet just be aware and allow that breath to help you to continually become more aware of your physical self you're not trying to change anything but instead being with everything instead being with everything.
Feel your hands.
Keep experiencing that beautiful conscious rhythmic flow of breath.
And then experience how you're feeling right here,
Right now.
And it doesn't matter whatever it is,
Let it be.
Music is just an opportunity to become more aware of how quickly and easily we might be able to shift mental states,
Instead of shifting into whatever conversation,
Do whatever feelings come up from that distraction or that moment in our time right now together.
Just continually witness and let go of that mental chatter,
Let go of the feeling of whatever came up with that through that distraction.
And just come back to your breath.
Take a few big inhales.
Exhale out.
Two more inhale.
Let it go.
One more.
Check in how you're feeling now.
Take a moment and thank yourself for taking this time,
Making this time in your day.
Find more peace to be more effective,
To find more of yourself and create that all important relationship to your breath.
