Hello and welcome to True North Guided Meditations.
I'm Frank Ohiki and this will be a five minute meditation.
Close your eyes.
Take a big deep breath in and out.
And continue to breathe naturally just how you would breathe.
Your own unique breath.
Your hands just placed on your knees.
Palms facing up can be energizing,
Palms down can be more grounding.
The choice is yours.
Just focusing on your breath.
Inhaling the new,
The positive,
The future.
And exhaling the old,
The past.
That which has been.
Visualizing the air going through the nostril cavity and exhaling out through the mouth.
Just visualizing what that looks like for you.
Doing this helps anchor our mind into the present moment,
The now.
Which is all we have.
A thought may pop into your head,
It's only natural.
And just see if you can observe that thought.
Not attach yourself to it,
Just see it glide past your vision,
Your screen.
And just watch it go as fast as it came into your head.
And come back to your breath.
If we can control our breath,
Slow our breath down,
Then we'll find it much easier in situations that life throws at us.
We can maintain our temperament.
We can pace ourselves during the day.
And just be really in touch with our own body.
Help us make decisions,
And so much more.
Another thought may pop into your head,
And that's okay.
Don't let it irritate you.
Just observe it and watch it go.
As fast as it came.
