Breathing Meditation

This guided meditation invites you to gently anchor your attention in the natural rhythm of your breath. Through mindful observation, you’ll learn to calm your nervous system and return to a state of inner stillness.

No need to change anything — just breathe and be present. In the background, you may hear the soft sound of rain, including occasional drops gently tapping on wood. These organic sounds are part of the atmosphere and can deepen the sense of grounding and calm.

This practice is suitable for any time of day and can support clarity, emotional balance, and a quiet return to yourself.

Hello everyone and welcome.

This is a short breathing practice to help you relax and slow down.

You can sit or lay down,

Whatever feels more comfortable.

Let your hands rest gently and if you like,

Close your eyes.

Take a moment to arrive,

To be here,

Right now.

We begin by noticing the breath.

You don't need to change anything.

Just feel the air as it comes in and as it leaves your body.

Inhale and exhale.

Inhale and exhale.

Let your body become still.

Let your breath carry you into calm.

Bring your attention to your breath.

Feel it move through your nose and out again.

Notice the rhythm,

The gentle rise and fall.

Feel your chest expand and soften.

Feel your belly gently move with each breath.

And if your mind drifts away,

Simply come back.

Back to this moment,

Back to your body,

Back to the breath.

Inhale and exhale.

Inhale and exhale.

Slowly,

Organically.

Let each breath take you a little deeper into stillness.

We are still here,

Right now,

At this present moment.

With each breath,

Let go a little more.

Relax your face.

Relax your shoulders.

Relax your hands.

Relax your chest and belly.

Breathe.

And relax your legs.

Let the whole body soften.

Let yourself rest.

There is nothing to do,

Nowhere to go.

Just be.

Just breathe.

Every time if your mind drifts away,

Simply come back.

Back to this moment.

Back to your body.

Back to the breath.

Rest.

Notice what you notice.

Feel what you feel.

Right now,

Right here.

Now,

Slowly bring your awareness back.

Be aware of your body and your breath.

Feel the support beneath you.

Be aware of the room where you are right now.

With the next inhale,

Move your fingers.

Move your toes.

And take one deep breath in and out.

And when you are ready,

Gently open your eyes.

Notice how you feel.

If there is anything that changed.

And you can return to this anytime you need a break.

Thank you for taking this moment with me.

Namaste.
