To initiate this meditation, let’s begin by cultivating gentle awareness within your consciousness.
Have you ever wondered why we choose to focus on conscious breathing?
Take a moment to observe how your belly, chest, and head respond as you reflect on your breath.
What emotions do you associate with these physical sensations?
Are there stories you’ve woven about the intricate dance within your lungs and the depths of your body as you breathe?
Acknowledge that many others share similar sentiments about the act of conscious breathing.
Consider how an increased awareness of your breath and the gift of more oxygen could benefit you.
When can you integrate this heightened mindfulness and practice of conscious breathing into your daily routine?
