Breath Meditation For Busy People

Settle into what is a comfortable, restful position for you. Bring your awareness to your breath. Without controlling your breath in any way, simply notice your breath. Notice your inhale. Notice your exhale. Notice the space between each breath. That uncontrolled pause between your inhale and your exhale. Notice and be with your natural breath. If your breath is short, let it be short. If your breath is long, let it be long. Be with your breath as it is. Continue to mindfully breathe and be with your natural breath. Each day, you have a choice in how you live your life. You have the choice to slow down, take a breath, and feel gratitude. Or the choice to rush, get caught up in the go-go-go, the perpetual busyness, and not see the beauty that surrounds you. With each breath, you have a choice to move through the ups and downs of life, clenching your jaw and carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Or to remember that inner peace and calm is available to you at any moment, simply by taking a pause to breathe. You have a choice to see that life is ripe with possibility. You have the opportunity to pause and choose something different, perhaps create a whole new life. This is your invitation to pause and breathe. Breathe in life as it is. Breathe out life as it is. Breathe in a life of rhythm. Breathe out a life of rush. Breathe in your power to heal. Breathe out pain and suffering. Breathe in simply being. Breathe out the pressure to be a certain way. Breathe in rest and slowing down. Breathe out the urge to do, go, work, be busy. Breathe in grace. Breathe out frustration. Breathe in calm and ease. Breathe out angst and worry. Breathe in community. Breathe out isolation. Breathe in gentleness and kindness. Breathe out cruelty and violence. Breathe in clarity and intuitive vision. Breathe out mental fog. Breathe in love. Breathe out fear. Breathe in the beauty around you. Breathe out the beautiful mess that is life. Breathe in and pause. Breathe out and pause. Pause to look. Pause to smell. Pause to taste. Pause to feel. Pause to listen. Pause and experience the beauty around you right here and now. In all the challenges, struggles, and ups and downs, pause. Beauty is there. You are beautiful. Life is beautiful. Each breath you take is the beauty of life. Breathe in strength and vitality. Breathe out and express vulnerability. Breathe in self-worth. Breathe out and show humility. Breathe in trust for yourself. Breathe out and trust in others. Breathe in stillness. Breathe out and take action. Breathe in and heal yourself. Breathe out and heal the world. Breathe in life as it is. Breathe out life as it is. Breathe in life as it is. Breathe out life as it is. Breathe in life as it is. Breathe out life as it is. Breathe in life as it is. Breathe out life as it is. Thank you for breathing with me. This is Anna Ferguson of World Peace Yoga. Yoga for people who breathe. Smile and have a beautiful day.
