Calm - Ease (long version) | Meditation Guided by Thich Nhat Hanh

  • 0:01 - 0:02
    (Half bell)
  • 0:04 - 0:10
    (Bell)
  • 0:21 - 0:22
    Dear friends,
  • 0:23 - 0:27
    if you are thinking a lot
    then focus your attention on your abdomen,
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    and if you are not very awake
  • 0:32 - 0:36
    then focus your attention
    on the tip of your nose.
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    Noticing the air coming in
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    and the air coming out
  • 0:43 - 0:44
    in
  • 0:47 - 0:48
    out.
  • 0:51 - 0:52
    But if you are thinking a lot
  • 0:53 - 0:59
    then move your attention
    down to the level of your naval
  • 1:00 - 1:05
    and notice the movement of the abdomen
  • 1:05 - 1:06
    in...
  • 1:08 - 1:09
    out.
  • 1:10 - 1:11
    Enjoy!
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    (half bell)
  • 1:54 - 1:57
    Breathing in, I know I am breathing in;
  • 1:58 - 2:01
    Breathing out, I know I am breathing out.
  • 2:02 - 2:03
    In,
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    out.
  • 2:06 - 2:12
    (Bell)
  • 5:58 - 5:59
    (Half-bell)
  • 6:01 - 6:06
    Breathing in, I notice that
    my in-breath has become deep;
  • 6:08 - 6:13
    Breathing out, I notice that
    my out-breath has become slow.
  • 6:14 - 6:16
    Deep,
  • 6:16 - 6:18
    slow.
  • 6:19 - 6:21
    Enjoy
  • 6:22 - 6:29
    (Bell)
  • 7:18 - 7:24
    My in-breath becomes deeper
    in a very natural way.
  • 7:24 - 7:30
    I do not force it to become deeper,
    it just becomes deeper
  • 7:31 - 7:36
    because I have been practising
    breathing in and out mindfully
  • 7:36 - 7:42
    and that is why my in breath
    has become naturally deeper
  • 7:43 - 7:47
    and my out breath
    has become naturally slower
  • 7:47 - 7:52
    and my enjoyment
    of my breathing has increased.
  • 7:54 - 7:59
    If you feel that you enjoy
    your deep and slow breath
  • 8:01 - 8:03
    it means you are practising correctly.
  • 8:04 - 8:06
    Shall we try again?
  • 8:07 - 8:08
    Deep....
  • 8:09 - 8:11
    slow
  • 8:12 - 8:15
    and if you feel pleasant, smile
  • 8:18 - 8:24
    (Bell)
  • 12:50 - 12:51
    (Half-bell)
  • 12:55 - 12:57
    Breathing in, I calm my body;
  • 12:58 - 13:03
    Breathing out, I ease everything.
  • 13:05 - 13:07
    Calm, Ease.
  • 13:11 - 13:17
    (Bell)
  • Not Synced
    When you breathe in,
    the in-breath is making your body calm.
  • Not Synced
    And as you are in a meditation posture
  • Not Synced
    your mind is becoming calm also
  • Not Synced
    body here means also mind.
  • Not Synced
    Breathing in, I calm my body and my mind
  • Not Synced
    Breathing out, I ease everything
  • Not Synced
    I let everything at ease.
  • Not Synced
    Calm....
  • Not Synced
    ease.
  • Not Synced
    several times
  • Not Synced
    (Bell)
  • Not Synced
    (19:22 - Half-bell)
  • Not Synced
    Breathing in, I smile;
  • Not Synced
    Breathing out, I release.
  • Not Synced
    (Bell)
  • Not Synced
    Smiling means relaxation
    to all the muscles in your face
  • Not Synced
    every time you smile,
  • Not Synced
    you relax all these muscles in your face
  • Not Synced
    and you nervous system becomes relaxed
  • Not Synced
    and smiling here, is to smile to yourself
  • Not Synced
    that is the practice of loving kindness,
    directed to oneself
  • Not Synced
    Breathing in, I smile
  • Not Synced
    breathing out, I release
  • Not Synced
    Release here means
    to let go of everything,
  • Not Synced
    Including our projects, our worries,
  • Not Synced
    our tensions
  • Not Synced
    so that we are able to enjoy
    our presence in the here and now
  • Not Synced
    become free,
    free from all sorrow and suffering,
  • Not Synced
    from our own projects,
    from our own tensions
  • Not Synced
    Breathing in, I smile
  • Not Synced
    nothing is as important
    as my peace, my joy
  • Not Synced
    I smile to everything
  • Not Synced
    even to my suffering, to my difficulties
  • Not Synced
    Breathing out, I release, Iet go.
  • Not Synced
    This is a practice of freedom.
  • Not Synced
    Smile when you breathe in;
  • Not Synced
    Release when you breathe out.
  • Not Synced
    Smile, release, several times
  • Not Synced
    (Bell)
  • Not Synced
    (27:25 - half bell)
  • Not Synced
    Breathing in,
    I go back to the present moment;
  • Not Synced
    Breathing out,
    I know this is a wonderful moment.
  • Not Synced
    Present moment...
  • Not Synced
    Wonderful moment
  • Not Synced
    (Bell)
  • Not Synced
    (29:44) to be alive,
    and to know that you are alive
  • Not Synced
    is the greatest of all miracles.
  • Not Synced
    and if you don't go back
    to the present moment
  • Not Synced
    you can not perform that miracle
  • Not Synced
    Breathing in,
    I establish myself in the present moment
  • Not Synced
    Breathing out,
    I realise that it is a wonderful moment
  • Not Synced
    In fact, it is the only moment
  • Not Synced
    available to me, to live.
  • Not Synced
    This is a wonderful exercise.
  • Not Synced
    Present moment, breathing in;
  • Not Synced
    Wonderful moment, breathing out.
  • Not Synced
    and if you have some concentration
  • Not Synced
    that exercise will bring you a lot of joy.
  • Not Synced
    Present moment;
  • Not Synced
    wonderful moment.
  • Not Synced
    (35:28 - Half-Bell)
  • Not Synced
    Dear friends,
  • Not Synced
    these exercies could be practiced
  • Not Synced
    everywhere, at any time
  • Not Synced
    when you sit on a bus,
  • Not Synced
    you can practice these exercises
  • Not Synced
    when you are in the kitchen,
  • Not Synced
    preparing breakfast
  • Not Synced
    you can practice these exercises
  • Not Synced
    you can also pratice during walking,
  • Not Synced
    if you walking from one building
    to another building
  • Not Synced
    you can practice these exercieses
  • Not Synced
    when you line up to wait
    for your time to do something
  • Not Synced
    you can do that also
  • Not Synced
