In today's meditation, we'll be doing a mindful breathing exercise for a healthy mind.
This exercise will focus on doing soothing, anxiety beating, deep breathing,
whilst also concentrating on some goals we would like to achieve.
It's perfect to play first thing in the morning or any time during your day.
If you need to remove anxiety, centre your breathing and to focus on some goals.
Please listen to this recording in a place that if you were to fall asleep,
it would be completely safe for you to do so.
Welcome to this kind of deep breathing meditation.
Breathing fully and deeply
has known benefits that affect all areas of life.
Please find a comfortable place
where you can tune out the world around you
for the duration of this session.
This time is for you and let's begin.
Feel a sense of gratitude for this moment
At any time you wish
Please close your eyes
To allow for a more powerful experience
Become conscious of things that bring you stress
What are some stress factors in your life
Can you notice the feelings that they cause
You may focus on the stress that you have today
becoming aware of how this stress affects your emotions.
Simply let these stressful elements flow through your mind.
You can allow for the stress to come and allow it to go.
I will guide you through some breathing techniques that will help you let go of this stress
and picture your stress in front of you.
However it appears, it's perfectly fine, very deeply now, filling your lungs as much as you can.
And holding the breath just for a moment at the top.
And when you breathe out, imagine that you can blow away that stress.
See it drifting away from you.
Again, breathe in fully.
Imagine you are filling your lungs to the maximum capacity
and hold the breath to build strength
and breathe out.
Blowing the burden.
Breathe in fully and with passion.
The presence rise and exhale.
Blowing away any tension.
That's good.
Let your breath settle to a lower rhythm now.
and notice how these three large breaths made you feel.
What changes did you notice in your body now?
Comparing to before you started this session,
tune into the body,
and notice all different kinds of sensations,
as much as feels comfortable for you.
In close attention to how your body expands with air,
blowing any less,
any lingering anxiety away, body relaxing.
You're doing so well.
This is how you take control of your life
by first gaining control over the breath.
Now allow for any other stresses
to come in your mind
and notice what they are
and how they appear for you
in the form of images, messages,
memories, all predictions.
Now it is time to breathe into them,
filling your body with fresh oxygen.
And when you breathe out, you blow it all away
and notice how the breath relaxes you
and the anxieties don't trouble you any more
and grant permission for the breath
to ease your troubles.
Now, let's count five breaths together.
Make sure they are deep and slow.
Counting while breathing is a wonderful turny.
That can ease the mind whenever you need to.
Breathe in clarity and positivity.
Holding the breath for five seconds.
Two,
three, four, five.
And breathe out, letting go of any worries.
and the second breath breathe in deeply
and feel the freshness of the air coming in
and hold the breath for five seconds
one two
three
four five and breathe out relaxing more and more
and the third breath breathe in slowly
and deeply
and hold for five four
three
three, two, one. And breathe out and your body is slowing down and mind is becoming clearer.
And for the fourth breath, fully in and hold. One, two, three, four, five. And let the breath go,
along with any remaining tension. And for breath five, breathe in deeply and hold it as you count.
To one, two, three, four, five, and exhale into complete serenity.
That's good, wonderful.
Now that you have let go of such unwanted feelings and sensations, begin imagining something
you want to accomplish.
It can be anything.
A short-time goal or a long-time goal.
What is it that you want most in your life and clearly allow all details to flush out pertaining
to your goal?
Notice what you see in your surroundings.
What kind of people are around?
Can you pick up any fragrances in this visualization?
Do you notice what you are wearing or perhaps what you look like?
yourself as if you already have attained this goal, and let the confidence rise in you from
the hard work and dedication you've put into your life's dreams.
Gently notice how you feel when you have accomplished your goal, and breathing deeply into
this feeling you have become aware of, the emotions are present in you.
into these emotions, giving them life.
You hear people you love and care for, congratulating you on your achievement into the kindness
from these loved ones.
And lastly, how does it feel to be on the other side of success?
Being in this moment, fully immerse yourself in it, a three deep breaths of accomplishment,
counting as you go.
repeat these wonderful affirmations for a gentle breath in between. I can do it. I am good at getting
things done. And breathe. I always have new opportunities coming my way. Accomplish anything
that you put your mind to and breathe in deeply again into this wonderful feeling accompanied
by detailed visuals. And when you breathe out, notice the sound of the air, exiting your life.
You now have tools to let go of stress by following the breath and obtaining all you desire in your life.
The breath is your guide. Use it to your best advantage and begin to return your awareness
to the present moment, perhaps reeling your toes or fingers to reorient yourself to your body.
And remember that your breath is always there for you to utilise and begin to rise from this meditation,
feeling a big boost in confidence. You have clarity of mind and your emotions have become nice and balanced.
You deserve to live the life of your dreams. All you need to do.
is to take action and breathe.
Rise whenever you are ready,
feeling refreshed and ready to take on anything that comes your way.
Ready to take on the day.
And you can practice this meditation or any meditation on a daily basis
in order to fully experience the wonderful benefits of this practice.
Have a great day.
