So Let’s Begin…

MORNING BREATHING MEDITATION SCRIPT

Close your eyes,

And invite yourself inside. 

PAUSE

Breathe in…

Consciously, 

Aware of the air flowing in through your nose,

Into your chest,

Then into your belly. 

PAUSE

Then breathe out…

Aware of the air flowing out of your belly,

Your chest,

And out of your nose. 

PAUSE

Continue this rhythm, 

Breathing slowly,

Observing how easily your body circulates the air through you. 

PAUSE

Breathe in,

Breathe out,

Expanding,

Contracting.

Gathering, 

Releasing. 

LONG PAUSE

See if you can imagine,

Each inhale gathering up all that is tense inside of you. 

And then each exhale escorts it out of you,

Releasing it into the air,

Where it slowly dissolves and disappears. 

PAUSE

Breathe in and gather,

Breathe out and release. 

LONG PAUSE

Inhale that cleansing breathe into your head,

Gathering up all those thoughts, 

And then release them all as you exhale. 

LONG PAUSE

Now inhale your soothing breathe into your shoulders,

Imagining it covering all of your tight muscles here.

And then as you breathe out,

Feel all of those muscles soften, 

As you drop your shoulders, 

And melt deeper into comfort. 

LONG PAUSE

Inhale your calming breathe into your chest,

Expanding it with awareness,

Bringing waves of peace to your heart.

As you breathe out, 

Feel yourself melting even more.

Deeply relaxed,

Beautifully clear. 

LONG PAUSE

Now, be here for a bit,

Present to the gentle hum of your breath,

Moving through you. 

LONG PAUSE

Now place your hand on your heart,

And just notice the warmth emanating from your hand.

Imagine this warmth spreading like soothing waves,

Out from your heart, 

Across your entire body.

Healing, 

Softening, 

Clearing. 

LONG PAUSE

Lower you hand,

So that both hands are in your lap,

One on top of the other.

And then breathe in deep on last time,

And as you exhale, 

Become aware that you are light, 

Open, 

Clear,

And free to create this day from this moment,

Full of calm, peace, and joy. 

Namaste, Beautiful
