Make yourself comfortable sitting or lying down and if you like place one hand gently on your chest now.
Let your eyes close,
Feel the support beneath you and take one easy inhale through the nose and sigh it out.
Beautiful.
Now let the breath move naturally.
Notice the contact of your hand on your chest and listen to the sounds and your next exhale let a soft hum arise.
Quieter than you'd think.
Feel a vibration under your hand.
Inhale naturally and hum again.
No force,
Just sound.
Again.
Notice how the body responds.
There is no need to push the sound.
Let it be easy,
Soft,
Almost like the quiet hmm you make when you taste something delicious or notice a beautiful scent.
Natural.
Unforced.
Now we will continue for a few breaths.
Each exhale becomes sound.
Each inhale arrives on its own.
Let's begin.
If the sound strains,
Soften.
If the mind wanders,
Return to vibration.
Let the chest resonate.
Let the jaw soften.
Let the tongue rest.
Allow the sound to become slightly fuller,
Not louder.
Deep.
Imagine the vibration spreading like a warm ripple through the chest,
Through the throat,
Into the face.
The softer the tone.
Let the tongue rest.
Another hum.
Notice the difference.
Less effort.
More resonance.
I'll hum with you.
Let it regulate you.
Let the next hum fade naturally and allow silence.
The breath.
The subtle steadiness inside.
That quiet resonance.
That is the gate to inner calm.
Before you open your eyes,
Remember when effort doesn't work,
Soften and hum.
Take two natural breaths.
Feel the support beneath you.
And when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
