Hello,
Kiri here and we are doing a beautiful 10 minute mindfulness meditation to help you to train your focus.
This concept may seem simple but it can be challenging to master and each new time that you try it,
It brings a different experience.
So when you are ready,
Let's come into a comfortable seated position,
Bringing your spine nice and tall and gently closing down your eyes and taking a few moments connect to your breath.
Feeling the air as you breathe in and feeling the air as you breathe out.
Taking a moment to check in with your body and releasing any areas of obvious tension you feel you are holding.
How this technique works,
We are counting our breaths up until 10.
On the inhale count one and on the exhale count two.
The next inhale three and next exhale four.
Keep going all the way until 10.
Until 10.
Once you get to 10,
Start counting back over at one again.
Keep going at your own pace following the cadence of your breath.
If at any point you notice your mind starts to wander,
Simply notice and come back without judgment to your breath and counting at one.
Inhale softly,
Exhale softly,
Continuing to bring your attention to your breath and your counting.
And your counting.
Sometimes with a count our body can become rigid as we try to control our breath.
See if you can relax and bring a gentle awareness,
Releasing any tension as you breathe and count.
If you find your mind starts to drift off into thoughts,
That is completely natural.
Just notice and come back to your breathing,
Starting over again at one.
If your mind starts to wander,
That is completely normal.
Just notice and come back into the presence of breathing and counting.
For the last few moments,
Releasing the counting and come back into normal breathing and let your mind go you wish.
Feel free to stay here as long as you wish and when you are ready,
You can slowly start to come back to the space around you.
