| The breath and the mind are interconnected
|
| When we can still the breath we can still the mind
|
| We’re going to begin by doing a breathing exercise
|
| Intended to calm the breath
|
| And in turn calming the mind
|
| And after that we’re going to sit and meditate
|
| And thoughts will come
|
| But you will take your mind back to the breath
|
| And when the thoughts come
|
| Just don’t engage with 'em
|
| And just take your mind back to the breath
|
| And eventually the thoughts will slow
|
| And you’ll come into a place of stillness
|
| So to begin we’re going to breathe in
|
| To a count of 12
|
| Hold for a count of 12
|
| Exhale for a count of 12
|
| Follow my count
|
| Breathe in
|
| Hold
|
| And exhale
|
| Breathe in
|
| Hold
|
| And exhale
|
| Breathe in
|
| Hold
|
| And exhale
|
| Make sure you’ve released all the tension in your body
|
| Check yourself, your neck muscles, your leg muscles
|
| Your shoulders, your back
|
| You wanna be as relaxed as you possibly can
|
| So do a quick check
|
| We’ll take a deep breath in
|
| We’ll tense our entire body
|
| And then we’ll exhale and release our tension
|
| So inhale
|
| And tense
|
| And exhale
|
| Inhale
|
| Tense all our muscles
|
| And exhale
|
| The tension helps to relax all the muscles
|
| We’ll breathe in to a count of twelve
|
| We’re gonna hold, then we’re gonna exhale
|
| Breathe in
|
| Hold
|
| And exhale
|
| Breathe in
|
| Hold
|
| And exhale
|
| Breathe in
|
| Hold
|
| And exhale
|
| And on the next breath in
|
| Just mentally say «in»
|
| And on the exhale mentally say «out»
|
| And just breathe as relaxed and as normal as you can
|
| Breathe in
|
| And breathe out
|
| Breathe in
|
| And breathe out
|
| And go at your own pace
|
| And be with your breath
|
| Breathe in
|
| Breathe out
|
| Thoughts will come and let them be
|
| Just stay with the breath
|
| The gaze should be focused
|
| Between the eyebrows slightly
|
| When the mind wanders bring it back to the breath
|
| Now know that there’s no better place to be than right here and right now
|
| This moment is all that we have
|
| And from this place of stillness we bring joy to the world |
