In through the nose
out through the nose -
long steady easy breaths
With your attention follow the path of the breath thru the body. Allow the breath to be a link between the awareness of the mind and the sensations of the body. Each breath drawing your awareness deeper inward. Becoming aware of the sensations of the breath,
in through the nose
out through the nose.
becoming aware of the sensations of the body. acknowledge any places of tension, soreness, fatigue, or resistance in the body, allowing softness to spread, release resistance with each exhale.
Settle into a space of observation, become the witness moving through the body as the breath moves through the body
In through the nose
out through the nose
long slow even breaths
The awareness deepening now, beyond the body, acknowledging the movements of the mind. Still only an observer, notice the thoughts that arise, what is the dialogue? It is the nature of the mind to move, to try to distract you, to get your attention. Don't fight it, or resist it, or even try to ignore it.
Instead remain in the space of observer, remain detached, be the witness of the thoughts as they move in the background. Watch them without getting lost in them. become aware of the tendencies of your mind - what types of thoughts come up? If you find yourself attached to a thought, acknowledge it, send it on its way and return to the breath .
In through the nose,
out through the nose
slow, open, easy breaths
Taking you deeper, beyond the body, beyond the mind to your emotional experience. Become aware of how you are feeling on an emotional level, your mood. notice what is there - what comes up for you. Maintain yourself as witness - stand at a distance and observe.
Acknowledge yourself as this observer, the witness that is not the body, not the mind, not even you emotions.
Who is feeling the sensations of the body?
who is having the thoughts?
who is experiencing emotion?
This is the center of the self - the true self - the unchanging self.
In through the nose,
out through the nose -
long steady free breaths.
