Hi and welcome to Peacebeam.
Make sure you're sitting comfortably and if you can close your eyes now as we begin with step one.
Notice.
This is where we just begin to notice how we're feeling.
Ask yourself the question,
How do I feel today?
And see what comes back.
And if you like you can place your hand on your chest as we move to step two.
Breathe.
This is the section where we focus on our breathing and we're not going to change our breathing for now we're just going to notice it.
How the air moves in and out through your nose or your mouth.
The rise and fall of your chest.
Just begin to feel the natural rhythm of your breath.
And now we're going to connect that to the natural rhythm of your heart.
So if you haven't already just put your hand over your heart.
Begin to feel its beat.
And just continue breathing normally.
And I want you to imagine that every time you take your breath in you're breathing in beautiful golden light that goes straight into your heart.
And as you breathe out you're breathing out light.
And the rhythm of your heart and the rhythm of your breath are connecting and creating this beautiful space of relaxation for you.
And now we're going to move to step three.
Activate.
So today we're going to think about our breathing.
It isn't something that we think about much but it is our breathing that keeps us alive constantly,
Reliably,
All the time.
Whether we think about it or we don't think about it,
Our breath is moving in and out.
And whenever we feel stressed or worried we can come back to our breath and it can help us to feel calm again.
Our breath can be like an anchor in our lives,
Always there for us.
So right now I want you to really get in touch with your breath.
And as you breathe in feel the air moving in,
Going down into your lungs,
Expanding your roper cage outwards.
And now I want you to count your in-breath in for three counts and then we're going to slowly breathe out for five.
So when you're ready take a breath in two three and breathe out two three four five.
That's very good so let's try that again.
Take a breath in two three and breathe out two three four five.
And so what you find when you practice this slightly extended breathing is that if we breathe out for a little bit longer than we breathe in,
Our bodies return to a calm state no matter what is happening.
And you can do this whenever you feel stressed or anxious.
Just find somewhere quiet to sit for a few moments and focus on your breath.
And now we'll move to step four.
Beam.
Now that you've reached a nice calm state through focusing on your breathing,
I want you to imagine today that every time you breathe in and out,
You're breathing in kindness and you're breathing out gentleness.
So you're beaming this beautiful calm energy that you've reached today into the world,
Making the world a better place for you and for everybody that you meet today.
Thank you for listening and we shall see you the next time.
You
