Guided Meditation Script for Breathing:

Close your eyes and take a moment to settle in. Let go of any distractions around you. Bring your attention inward, allowing your body to soften and relax. Feel the surface beneath you supporting your body. Release any tension in your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and let your hands rest gently at your sides. Allow your facial muscles to soften, your brow to relax, and your breath to flow naturally.

Take a slow, natural breath in… and gently exhale. Feel the air moving in and out of your body, effortlessly and naturally. Notice how your breath flows without force, without effort. There is nothing to do, nothing to change—just allow yourself to be fully present with your breath.

Now, simply observe your breathing. There’s no need to control it—just notice. Feel the cool air entering your nostrils and the warmth as you exhale. Pay attention to the gentle rise and fall of your chest, the expansion and contraction of your belly. Observe the rhythm, the flow, and the natural pause between each breath.

With each inhale, imagine drawing in calm, fresh energy. With each exhale, release any tension, any heaviness you may be holding. Let each breath be an invitation to relax even deeper. Notice the sensation of the breath as it moves through you, the subtle changes it brings with every inhale and exhale.

If your mind starts to wander, gently bring your focus back to your breath. There is no need to resist your thoughts—simply acknowledge them and let them pass like leaves floating down a stream. With each breath, return to the present moment, to this simple and peaceful rhythm of life.

Let’s take a few conscious breaths together. Inhale slowly through your nose… feel your lungs expand… hold for a moment… and exhale gently through your mouth. Feel a sense of calm wash over you with each breath. Again, inhale deeply… hold… and exhale, letting go of any tension in your body.

With every breath, feel yourself becoming lighter, more peaceful. If any thoughts arise, acknowledge them without judgment and let them drift away like clouds in the sky. Return to your breath—your steady, calming anchor in the present moment.

Now, bring your awareness to the spaces between your breaths. The pause after you inhale… the stillness before you exhale. Rest in this quiet space. Let it be a reminder that peace is always within you, accessible at any moment. Imagine that with each breath, you are creating more space within yourself—space for peace, for clarity, for stillness.

As you continue to breathe, begin to visualize your breath as a gentle wave, flowing in and out, rhythmic and soothing. Picture it washing over you, carrying away stress, worry, and tension. With every inhale, imagine this wave bringing in fresh energy, renewal, and light. With every exhale, feel yourself letting go, surrendering to a deep sense of relaxation.

Now, shift your focus to your body. Notice how your breath touches different areas, filling them with warmth and ease. Feel your breath in your chest, expanding and contracting. Feel it in your belly, rising and falling naturally. Feel it in your back, your shoulders, your neck—releasing any tightness, any discomfort.

With every breath, your body becomes more at ease, more open. If you sense any tension, imagine your breath flowing directly into that space, softening it, releasing it. Let your breath be a gentle healer, carrying away anything you no longer need.

Take this moment to simply be. To exist in this stillness, this quiet harmony. There is nowhere to go, nothing to do. Just breathe. Just be.

As we come to the end of this meditation, take a moment to feel gratitude for your breath—this simple yet powerful force that sustains you. With each inhale, you receive life. With each exhale, you create space for peace.

When you're ready, gently wiggle your fingers and toes, bringing awareness back to your surroundings. Roll your shoulders, take one final deep breath, and slowly open your eyes. Notice how your body feels—lighter, calmer, and refreshed.

Carry this sense of calm with you throughout your day. Whenever you need a moment of peace, remember that your breath is always here to guide you back to stillness.
