Breath Watch Meditation For A Busy Day

Hello.

Today we are going to be doing a breath watch meditation.

To do the breath watch meditation you may either find a comfortable seated position,

Usually raising your hips up by sitting on folded blankets or pillows if they're firm enough or bolsters will help with that.

Or these practices can just as easily be done lying in a reclining position.

You may choose to recline in your bed or on the floor.

You can use pillows or bolsters or anything to prop you up so that your torso is long and your spine extended.

So I invite you to take a moment and make a comfortable seat or reclining position.

To start I invite you to simply notice your breath,

Your body being breathed.

Your breath really is a miracle.

It's something that's freely given except in these times of intentional practice we mostly don't notice our breath.

It's something our breath does in the background,

Mostly uncontrolled consciously by our bodies.

Sense into the felt experience of your breath,

The sensations that might be arising.

You may start noticing the space that your breath takes in your body from your lower belly and lower back to the mid belly and mid back all the way to the upper chest and upper back.

You may begin to notice your side ribs expanding with your breath.

You may start to notice the texture of your breath,

Perhaps its rhythm.

You may notice that your breath begins to shift or change as you notice it and that's okay.

Take a moment to feel into any sensations that might be arising,

Noting any changes that may have occurred in your body-mind.

Thank you so much today for your practice.

Blessings.
