Deep Breathing Guided Meditation Script:

Take a moment to sit or lie down comfortably. Gently close your eyes and begin to bring your awareness to the present moment. Notice the weight of your body against the surface beneath you. Feel the support of the ground or chair beneath you, allowing your body to relax into it. Let go of any tension you may be holding onto. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your body to soften even further.

Now, bring your attention to your breath. Without trying to change anything, simply observe the natural rhythm of your breathing. Notice the rise and fall of your chest or abdomen as you breathe in and out. Feel the coolness of the air entering your nostrils and the warmth of the air leaving your body. Be fully present with each inhale and exhale.

Take a deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs completely. Hold for a moment at the top of the inhale. Feel the air filling your chest, your belly, your entire body. Now, exhale slowly and completely through your mouth, releasing any tension or stress. Allow your body to relax even more with each exhale, letting go of any weight you may be carrying.

Let’s continue with a slow and steady breath. Inhale deeply through your nose, counting to four as you fill your lungs. Hold for a brief moment at the top of the inhale, and as you hold, feel the calmness settling into your body. Now, exhale slowly and steadily through your mouth, counting to six. Release any tension or discomfort with every exhale. As you breathe out, allow your body to become lighter and more relaxed. Repeat this cycle, breathing in for four, holding for a brief pause, and exhaling for six.

With each breath, feel yourself becoming more centered. As you breathe in, imagine you are drawing in peace, calm, and positivity. With each exhale, imagine releasing any negative energy, stress, or tension that may be holding you back. Feel your body becoming lighter and more relaxed with every breath.

Now, imagine a wave of relaxation slowly moving through your body. Begin with the top of your head, and with each breath, let that wave of relaxation move downward, to your forehead, your eyes, your cheeks. Allow your face to soften. As you continue to breathe deeply, allow the wave to move down to your neck and shoulders. Let go of any tightness or strain you may be holding in your neck or shoulders, letting them drop and release.

As the relaxation continues to flow, let it move down your arms, to your hands, and to your fingers. Allow the energy to move through your torso, releasing tension from your chest, your stomach, your back. Let your body become soft and open. Feel the warmth of relaxation moving through your hips, your thighs, your knees, and your calves. As you breathe deeply, let your body relax completely, from your head all the way down to your toes.

As you continue breathing, picture yourself in a peaceful and serene place. It could be a quiet beach with the sound of gentle waves, a lush forest surrounded by the scent of fresh trees, or a calm garden with the chirping of birds. Visualize yourself fully immersed in this peaceful place. See the colors, feel the textures, hear the sounds. With every breath, feel yourself becoming more deeply connected to this place of peace.

Let the peacefulness of your surroundings wash over you, and feel your mind clearing. Let go of any worries, distractions, or thoughts that are not serving you. Each breath is an opportunity to deepen your sense of calm. Continue breathing deeply and steadily, focusing only on your breath and the peaceful place you’ve created in your mind.

If your mind begins to wander, simply acknowledge it and gently return your focus to your breath. Each inhale brings you deeper into relaxation, and each exhale releases any lingering tension. Allow your thoughts to drift away like clouds, and return your focus to the calm and peace within.

Now, begin to bring your awareness back to the room around you. Start to notice the sensations in your body, the sounds in your environment. Wiggle your fingers and toes, gently waking up your body. Take a moment to stretch your arms and legs, bringing awareness back to your physical body. When you’re ready, open your eyes slowly, bringing with you the calm energy you’ve cultivated during this meditation.

​Take a moment to feel gratitude for this time you’ve taken for yourself. Carry this peace with you throughout your day, knowing you can always return to your breath whenever you need to find stillness again. Thank you for joining this deep breathing meditation. I hope you feel more relaxed, centered, and at ease. May you continue to carry this calmness with you, finding moments of peace throughout your day.
