As your breath comes in silently say in.

As your breath goes out silently say out.

Any time your attention wanders away from your breathing just acknowledge it by silently saying wandering,

Now start to widen your awareness to your whole body.

Becoming aware of how your body responds to breathing.

Noticing that as your breath comes in,

Your body fills expanding outwards.

And as your breath goes out,

Your body deflates,

Relaxing inwards.

And as it goes out,

Your body becomes more relaxed.

And as it goes out,

Your body becomes more relaxed.

Becoming aware of the experience of your in-breath from the beginning to the middle to the end.

Becoming aware of the out-breath from the beginning to the middle to the end.

Experiencing your breathing throughout your whole body.

And as it goes out,

Your body becomes more relaxed.

And as it goes out,

Your body becomes more relaxed.

As your breath comes in,

Your body expands outwards.

Allow yourself to open to whatever you're experiencing now.

Your body becomes more relaxed.

Your body expands outwards.

And as it goes out,

Your body expands outwards.

As your breath goes out and your body deflates,

Allow yourself to soften,

Relax with that out-breath.

Out-breath,

Soften,

Relax.

Out-breath,

Soften,

Relax.

Now start to become more aware of the deflation of your body with the out-breath.

Following each out-breath all the way to the end.

Softening all effort.

Abandoning all effort.

Allowing the relaxation of the deflation of your body with each out-breath to draw you more deeply inwards.

Calming your body.

Calming your mind.

Calming all effort.

Calm.

Now gently bring your awareness back into your body.

Becoming aware of what it feels like.

Just to sit here.

The experience of warmth,

Of coolness,

Of touch.

The experience of heaviness as your body,

Your mind relax.

And allowing the sounds to come into you.

Be aware of just being here,

Present,

Relaxed.

Thank you for spending this time meditating with me.

Take care of yourself and have a wonderful day.

I liked this meditation very much. It is very quite with long phases without guidance. Sometime I thought it would be nice to get remembered more often on the practice as I moved away.

I like these meditations because Stephen gives enough time to practice without filling all space with words. Just the right amount to guide you and help you but the meditation is left to you to make happen, to experience fully. Excellent teacher
