TEACHING FOCUS: Meditation to Calm the Mind

Lie down on your back, legs extended out, arms by your sides, palms up.

Focus on taking deep belly breaths.
Make each inhale and exhale a bit longer than the previous.

Inhale into your forehead…
And slowly, release.
Breathe into the eyes, the mouth, the jaw….
And release.

Breathe into the center of your right shoulder…
And release.
Breathe into the eye of your right elbow…
And release.
Breathe into the center of your right wrist….
And release.
Breathe into the tip of your pinky finger
The tip of your ring finger
The tip of your middle finger
The tip of your pointer finger
And the tip of your thumb
Slowly, release all the breath out the fingertips.

Repeat on the left side.

Then,
Breathe into your heart…
And let all the breath go down the arms, and out the fingertips.

Goodnight.
