Transcript

Go ahead and get yourself into a nice,

Comfortable sitting position.

Ensure your back is straight and you can breathe nice and deeply.

Start with your eyes open and breathe nice and slowly in through the nose and out through the mouth.

On your next out breath,

Close your eyes.

Take in any sounds going on around you,

Anything that's nearby in the room or maybe outside and far away.

Do a quick check in with your body.

How is it feeling today?

Is there any pain or tension?

You don't have to make any changes or adjust yourself.

Just simply observe how your body is feeling.

From the top of your head through to your toes,

Just scan down through your body.

It can be as quick or as slow as you like,

But just mentally check in with each part of your body.

Again,

Notice any pain or tension.

You don't need to get caught up with it.

Once you're aware,

Just move on to the next part of your body.

Now allow yourself to bring the attention to your breathing.

Focus on a part of your body that is moving as you breathe.

With each out breath,

Allow yourself to count upwards from 1 to 10.

Once you get to the number 10,

You're going to go right back to the number 1 and repeat the exercise again.

Thoughts will drift into your mind.

Just observe them.

Allow them to come and go.

Once you're aware that you've been distracted by the thoughts,

Just bring your attention back to the breathing.

I think this is just what Iโ€™ve been looking for as it has an elegant simplicity. I appreciate that it has less talking, no music or ringing to signify beginning and end, just prompts Andy faith that the listener will take it from there. Thank you!
