Naming Breath Meditation

Namaste and welcome.

My name is Sarah DeBloch and this guided meditation is called Naming Your Breath.

It will be a shorter practice because this is with intention to help you create your own meditation practice or to shift your energy at any time throughout the day.

So begin to find a sustainable seat for you,

High on your sit bones with a long spine,

Crown of the head towards the sky.

Allow your arms to come down by the thighs,

Palms face up,

Receptive mudra.

As you close your eyes,

Sustain an uplifted gaze.

Begin to connect with your breath,

Noticing the quality of your breath.

Is it jagged,

Shallow,

Smooth or deep?

Once you've noticed the quality of your breath,

Begin to lengthen and deepen the breath,

Lengthening the inhale and lengthening the exhale.

And as you sustain this long smooth breath,

On the inhale silently say to yourself,

Breathing in.

On the exhale,

Silently saying to yourself,

Breathing out.

Inhale,

Breathing in.

Exhaling,

Breathing out.

Inhale,

Breathing in.

Exhaling,

Breathing out.

Breathing in.

Breathing out.

Breathing in.

Breathing out.

Allow your spine to lengthen and as any distractions arise,

Simply let these go and return to your breath.

Breathing in.

Breathing out.

Breathing in.

Breathing out.

Breathing in.

Breathing out.

Allow the crown of the head to reach to the sky,

Relaxing shoulders,

Returning awareness to the breath.

Breathing in.

Breathing out.

Breathing in.

Breathing out.

Breathing in.

Breathing out.

Breathing in.

Breathing out.

Breathing in.

Breathing out.

Let this practice go.

A cleansing breath if you need.

And notice how you feel,

Your internal landscape.

And notice the quality of your breath.

When you're ready,

Mindfully opening the eyes as if you're seeing the room you're in brand new for the first time.

I appreciate you joining for this meditation.

This has been your guided meditation for a mindful and peaceful day.

Namaste.
