Joy of Meditation as Nourishment
The one who guides speaks the following:
Breathing in, I know I am breathing in
Breathing out, I know I am breathing out
Breathing in, my breath goes deep
Breathing out, my breath goes slow
Breathing in, I feel calm
Breathing out, I feel ease
Breathing in, I smile
Breathing out, I release
Breathing in, I see myself as a flower
Breathing out, I feel fresh
Breathing in, I see myself as a mountain
Breathing out, I feel solid
Breathing in, I see myself as still water
Breathing out, I reflect all that is.
Breathing in, I see myself as space
Breathing out, I feel free
Dwelling in the present moment
I know it is a wonderful moment
