Summary
Your breath can guide you to inner stillness.
This is part 4 of a 7-Part Quiet Quest, Episodes 1283-1289.
As always, you don't have to do the meditation techniques -- they are simply there to help you transition from your busy day to a state of stillness. The techniques also help to calm "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation.

| 0:04.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:07.0 | How are you today? |
| 0:09.0 | I hope you are doing well as we continue with our series on creating a quiet quest. |
| 0:17.0 | And as you go throughout this series I challenge you to give yourself lots of experiences of stillness |
| 0:29.2 | this week. Whether you're seated meditating or you're going about your busy day and you break away and |
| 0:37.0 | settle down and simply be quiet. |
| 0:42.0 | And as you do the series this week consider your ability to sit quietly as a skill. It's often thought that when you're quiet it's something that may suddenly descend upon you, this feeling of stillness |
| 1:09.0 | where you're quiet. But actually, when you're quiet, it's something you have fostered. You have |
| 1:19.5 | created the quiet. And so as you meditate today think about feeling quiet and actively engaging yourself in being quiet. |
| 1:39.0 | And when you're quiet it will open you up to your highest potential. |

| 2:11.2 | ways to put yourself in a state where you feel quiet is by using your breath. |
| 2:19.0 | And so the technique for your meditation today is a breathing technique, the quiet breath. |
| 2:28.8 | It's a simple breathing technique that you can easily remember and easily do, whether you're meditating or not. |
| 2:36.8 | And to do this breathing technique, you'll inhale and exhale through your nose. This allows you to keep your breath nice and soft. |
| 2:50.0 | And then inhale through your nose for the count of three. Hold your breath for the |
| 2:59.8 | count of three. And do this three, the quiet breath. |
| 3:05.0 | And then do this three times, the quiet breath. So settle yourself in and let me guide you through one round. We'll do this together. |
| 3:20.0 | As you're seated, your spine straight, your eyes gently closed and slightly uplifted to the point between your eyebrows, which is often referred to as your spiritual eye. |
| 3:35.0 | This keeps your thoughts uplifted when you meditate. |
