Stillness For Humans - Alpha Rev

The breath and the mind are interconnected

When we can still the breath we can still the mind

We’re going to begin by doing a breathing exercise

Intended to calm the breath

And in turn calming the mind

And after that we’re going to sit and meditate

And thoughts will come

But you will take your mind back to the breath

And when the thoughts come

Just don’t engage with 'em

And just take your mind back to the breath

And eventually the thoughts will slow

And you’ll come into a place of stillness

So to begin we’re going to breathe in

To a count of 12

Hold for a count of 12

Exhale for a count of 12

Follow my count

Breathe in

Hold

And exhale

Breathe in

Hold

And exhale

Breathe in

Hold

And exhale

Make sure you’ve released all the tension in your body

Check yourself, your neck muscles, your leg muscles

Your shoulders, your back

You wanna be as relaxed as you possibly can

So do a quick check

We’ll take a deep breath in

We’ll tense our entire body

And then we’ll exhale and release our tension

So inhale

And tense

And exhale

Inhale

Tense all our muscles

And exhale

The tension helps to relax all the muscles

We’ll breathe in to a count of twelve

We’re gonna hold, then we’re gonna exhale

Breathe in

Hold

And exhale

Breathe in

Hold

And exhale

Breathe in

Hold

And exhale

And on the next breath in

Just mentally say «in»

And on the exhale mentally say «out»

And just breathe as relaxed and as normal as you can

Breathe in

And breathe out

Breathe in

And breathe out

And go at your own pace

And be with your breath

Breathe in

Breathe out

Thoughts will come and let them be

Just stay with the breath

The gaze should be focused

Between the eyebrows slightly

When the mind wanders bring it back to the breath

Now know that there’s no better place to be than right here and right now

This moment is all that we have

And from this place of stillness we bring joy to the world
