Transcript

Breath — Compact

Welcome. This is Breath — feel one breath sensation for about a minute.

[Pause 2s]

Make yourself comfortable — sitting, standing, whatever works. Eyes closed is best, if that feels easy.

[Pause 2s]

Pick one place where you feel the breath — nostrils, chest, or belly. Stay there.

[Pause 3s]

Breathe naturally. On the next in-breath, feel that place.

[Pause 4s]

On the out-breath, feel.

[Pause 4s]

Again. In-breath. Feel.

[Pause 5s]

Out-breath. Feel.

[Pause 5s]

If the mind wanders, notice it. Come back to the sensation.

[Pause 4s]

One more cycle. Feel the in-breath. Feel the out-breath.

[Pause 5s]

Let that go. Soften.

[Pause 3s]

Alright — that is enough for now.

A few rounds with the guidance — then try it without me.

Thank you for practicing with me.
