3 Breath Meditation Practice

Today, I am offering a 3 breath meditation practice that you can do wherever you are.

You can do it in the time it takes to take three deep breaths.

You can do it in 3 minutes.

You can do it for 30 minutes.

The choice is yours.

3 Breath Meditation Practice

1. Find a comfortable position where you will not be disturbed for 3 breaths, 3 minutes, or 30 minutes.
2. Prepare yourself to take 3 long deep breaths all the way down to your belly.
3. As you breathe in the first breath, bring your attention to your head and face. Say to yourself, say in your mind, “I am safe.”
4. With your attention still on your head and face as you breathe out the first breath, say to yourself, “I am protected.”
5. As you breathe in the second breath, bring your attention to your torso. Say to yourself, say in your mind, “I am strong.”
6. With your attention still on your torso as you breathe out the second breath, say to yourself, “I am healthy.”
7. As you breathe in the third breath, bring your attention to your legs and feet. Say to yourself, say in your mind, “I love myself.”
8. With your attention still on your legs and feet as you breathe out the third breath, say to yourself, “I accept myself.”
9. Allow your breathing to become normal and contemplate what just happened for a moment or two.

Here is variation your might like:  instead of moving your attention from your head and face to your torso to your legs, simply keep your attention on your belly.

Once you have mastered the 3 breath meditation practice, you can move on to the 3 minute or 30 minute version. In both of these versions, you can abbreviate the phrases down to one word. For example, instead of saying in your mind, “I am safe,” you can say “safe.”

Another variation is to practice “safe” / “protected” for 1 minute or 10 minutes, followed by “strong” / “healthy” for another 1 minute or 10 minutes, and so forth.
