5 Minute Breathing With Bells

Welcome to a five-minute session of Awareness of Breathing.

Please take a few moments to be still while settling into a dignified posture.

And before we begin to practice breath awareness,

Please remember to acknowledge your effort in making this time to practice and being proactive in managing your own health and well-being.

Today's guided practice will be led by the sound of a mindfulness bell to help keep you present and aware.

The bell will ring twice,

Once at the halfway point and again at the conclusion of this five-minute session.

Shifting focus now to feeling the sensation of your breathing,

This natural biorhythm wherever you feel it in your body.

Throughout this meditative session,

Just living life one inhalation and one exhalation at a time,

Breathing in,

Breathing out,

Moment by moment.

When you notice that you've wandered away,

Simply acknowledging where you went and then gently coming back to the breath.

And may you know that mindfulness on a deeper level is an act of self-care that promotes health and well-being.

Shifting focus now to feeling the sensation of your breathing,
