Breathing Into The Moment

Hi beautiful soul,

Welcome to your time.

Today we're going to share a simple mindful breathing practice,

Designed to give our sometimes busy minds a little something to focus on while we breathe,

Allowing us to reduce distraction,

Worry and bringing the focus to the breath.

This practice is inspired by a beautiful soul named Thich Nhat Hanh,

And it's an incredibly simple practice.

As we inhale we will think,

I am breathing in.

As we exhale we will think,

I am breathing out.

This practice allows us to both be present in the body whilst giving our mind a little something gentle to focus on.

So I invite you to take a moment to make yourself beautifully comfortable,

Closing down your eyes if you wish,

And then we begin.

As you inhale,

I am breathing in.

As you exhale,

I am breathing out.

Inhale,

I am breathing in.

Exhale,

I am breathing out.

Inhale,

I am breathing in.

Exhale,

I am breathing out.

Inhale,

I am breathing in.

Exhale,

I am breathing out.

Allowing yourself to breathe in and breathe out at your own natural pace and rhythm,

Continuing to bring the focus of the mind to breathing in and breathing out.

Allowing the focus to rest on the breath,

And the mind to rest on the breath.

I am breathing in,

I am breathing out.

I'm going to give you a few minutes now to simply be with your body,

With your breath,

And allow the brain,

The mind,

To remain focused on the breath.

I am breathing in,

I am breathing out.

If you notice at any time that your mind wanders,

That you find yourself lost in thought,

Simply bringing the focus back to the breath,

And bringing the mind back to the breath.

Rounding out with a few more focused breaths.

I am breathing in,

I am breathing out.

I am breathing in,

I am breathing out.

And one more,

I am breathing in,

I am breathing out.

Just allowing your mind to relax,

Your breath to return to its normal rhythm.

Know that you can return to this practice wherever you are,

Whenever you need it.

Bringing that balance,

That cohesion between the breath,

The body,

The mind,

And allow that process to transport you to a sense of peace,

Presence,

And well-being.

I hope this practice has been supportive for you.

Thank you so much for sharing it with me,

Sending you love,

And wishing you well.

Namaste.
