Here’s a Sample of the “Gratitude For Breath, Body And Mind” Guided Meditation Script:

Take a full breath in through the nose and sit up a little taller.
As you exhale through the nose, release the shoulders.

Take a few moments, with attention to breath,
settling in to a neutral, upright posture.

Allow your belly to soften, shift your shoulders back ever so slightly,
and lower the chin so the back of the neck is neutral and long.

And with awareness of breath, and posture,
begin to intentionally generate a deep sensation of gratitude for the breath itself.

As you watch, notice the breath moving in and out through the nose,
remember how precious this one breath is.

And this next one too.
Invite in the spaciousness of awe
and wonder as you sit with the next three to five cycles of breath.

And then draw attention to your heart.
Feel the heartbeat beat.
Perhaps in the quiet you can hear.

Still aware of breath, but noticing, listening to the heart.
Inviting in awareness of the miracle of the heartbeat,
as we sit with this noticing for three to five cycles of breath.

And still aware of the breath, and the heartbeat,
draw awareness to the form of your human body.

Here. Functioning. Breath breathing. Heart beating.
Noticing whatever it is that arises,
when we notice the unique fortune of our human birth.

Here in this human body, you have everything you need to awaken.
You have everything you need to find happiness, contentment, and joy within.
