Sit quietly in a chair with both feet on the ground
and your hands in your lap. Allow yourself to feel centred in the chair. Bring
all of your attention to the physical act of breathing. Start to notice the
breath as it enters your body through your nose and travels to your lungs.
Notice with curiosity the sound of your breathing. Wonder if it is the sound of
normal breathing or the early stages of emphysema. Listen to the sound of your
heart beating. Notice with curiosity the irregular beat and tingling sensations
running through your body. Notice with curiosity how your tinnitus drowns out
the wheezing of your lungs and thumping of your heart. Slowly allow your
awareness to drift. Start to feel like you have fallen overboard from a ship
that is sailing away towards the horizon. Breathe in deeply. Feel yourself
inflate. You have become a lifeboat. Now head for the shore.
