Transcript

Choose a comfortable position and close your eyes as soon as you feel ready to.

Begin to settle and as you do so,

Become aware of the temperature of the room,

The lighting,

Your body sitting here.

What heart or mind state is here with you?

Just notice beginning this delicate and subtle work of softening.

한국!

Tune into the space around the body and connect to the openness.

The fact that the immediate space around you is unobstructed,

That there's no pressure,

There's nothing you need to do right now.

Feel that in the space around you.

Feel that in the space around you.

Feel that in the space around you.

Tune into your breathing.

Consider a place in your body where you feel the sensations of breath more clearly,

More easily.

This might be the nostrils,

The rise and fall of the chest or abdomen.

You may experience it as expansion,

Softening,

Contraction.

There's no better place or right way to feel your breath.

And so just place your attention where you can feel it most clearly.

No need to try to get it or grab it.

Instead,

Just allow it to come to you.

Lets see some simple exercises for You You Receive the sensations of an in-breath And receive the sensations of an out-breath Just listening feeling receiving You You You You It's completely natural for the mind to wander that's actually its habit Nothing's gone wrong And so in the moment that you notice the mind has wandered Just know that the mind is playing with something else And instead of judgment this is a cause for celebration How wonderful awareness has returned When that happens we begin again You You You You You Welcome yourself back to the present moment instead of berating yourself Just beginning again being with this breathing once again You You You You You You You You You You You You You
