Inner Strength Meditations
Staying with your breath
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This mindful breathing practice helps you anchor your attention in the present moment. You’ll notice where the breath feels most clear and gently return when your mind wanders. A simple, reliable way to reset and find calm.
Why this helps? Focusing on the breath steadies your attention and helps calm the nervous system.
Setting The Intention
Settle Into Posture
SPEAKER_00This is a breath awareness practice. Let's begin by finding a comfortable sitting position. If it feels okay, you can close your eyes, or you can simply look down at the floor in front of you so you're not distracted.
SPEAKER_01Taking some time to adjust your posture and sitting up a little bit taller.
Hands And Feet Placement
Natural Breathing Awareness
Locate Your Breath Anchor
Sensations And Gentle Focus
Begin Again With Kindness
SPEAKER_00Perhaps even imagining an invisible string at the top of your head that's gently pulling you up a little taller. Placing both your feet flat on the floor. Your hands can be gently folded in your lap, or you can place your palms down on your upper thighs. Taking some deep breaths in here to help you relax. And allowing your breath to move in and out very naturally. Connecting to the feeling of breathing in and breathing out. Very easy and very simple. What does it feel like to breathe in and to breathe out? As you connect with your breath, notice where you feel the breath most clearly. Maybe it's at the tip of your nose, where you feel the breath moving in and out. Or maybe it's at the chest, expanding and contracting. Or it could even be at the belly, rising and falling with each in-breath and each outbreath. Taking a moment now to notice where you feel the breath most clearly. Remembering there's no right or wrong place. Simply connecting to wherever you feel the breath. Noticing the sensations of breathing. Bringing your attention to each in breath and each out breath, noticing the sensations of breathing wherever you feel the breath most clearly. And when you notice the mind has wandered, that's okay. This is natural. You can simply notice this and begin again, breathing in and breathing out.
