Welcome to the Awareness of Breath practice. Take this time for yourself with compassion and kindness. Let's start by adopting an upright sitting position. Gently place your arm on your thigh or knee. Relax your shoulder, Soften your neck. When you are ready, You can close your eyes or gently soften your gaze. In this practice, We will bring our attention to our breath, Using our breath as our anchor and paying attention to each in-breath and out-breath. We will start by taking three deep breaths to stay grounded in the present moment. Slowly breathing in, Noticing the air entering through the nostril and gently breathing out, Noticing the air leaving through the nostril and again breathing in and breathing out. Breathing in and breathing out. Now allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm and being aware of the movement of your breath with each in-breath and out-breath. Not manipulating the breath in any way or trying to change it. Just simply being aware by observing the air entering and leaving the nostril. Bringing curiosity to the practice. Is the breath fast or slow? Is it deep or shallow? From time to time, The mind will wander off into thoughts about the future or the past. When you notice that your attention is no longer here and no longer with your breathing, Without judging yourself, Bring your attention back to the breathing. Continue paying attention to each in-breath and out-breath. Simply being aware of each breath. Whenever you notice that your attention has drifted off and is becoming caught up in thoughts or feelings, Simply acknowledge that the attention has drifted and then gently bring it back to the breathing. It is acceptable and natural for thoughts to enter into your awareness and for your attention to follow them. No matter how many times this happens, Just keep bringing your attention back to the breathing with compassion and kindness. Bring your awareness back to the body again, Feeling the body in the space where you are in now, The air, The temperature and gently opening your eye at the sound of the chime. Thank you for practicing together. May you be well and happy.
