Take some time to consciously slow down.
Find a comfortable position, sitting or laying down,
Relax and aware of your spine.
Inhale and exhale a few times until you can slow the inhale to the count of 4.
on the next and following inhalations FEEL the bodies response to the inhalation
feel the air being drawn in through the nostrils,
feel the base of the throat open,
the lungs expand,
the ribs expand,
collar bones move,
belly rise,
Become conscious of the subtle sensations within the body caused by the breath, pressure, tingling, coolness, warmth.
Feel the sensation of expansiveness and openness in your body and in your awareness created by the inhalation
Now the exhalation,
feel your bodies response to the breath leaving the body
feel warmth of the air leaving the nostrils (or mouth)
feel the closing at the base of the throat
lungs contracting
the ribs contracting
collar bones resting
belly falling
become aware of the subtle sensations within the body caused by the exhalation, pulsing, heaviness, lightness, coolness, warmth.
Feel the sensation of closing in, stillness, quiet in your body and your awareness created by the exhalation.
Now finding the space between the inhalations and exhalations, become aware of the space between these breaths,
is there any space between these breaths ?
If yes what is your experience within these spaces?
Is there an urgency to inhale or exhale or an anticipation,, or stillness ?
Be at peace with what ever the experience,
Our breath is like the waves on the beach, they come in and go out, each wave is unique, as is our breath,
take just a minute to stop what you are doing, close your eyes and take a conscious breath or two, really feel your breath and your bodies relationship with it.
