Part 1: Our thoughts float freely in nature

With all the stresses of society filling our lives, nature is our source of life and our strength. When performing the Koi Nature Meditation Relaxation Method meditation, go outdoors and find a natural environment to relax and become one with nature, such as a park, country park, etc. We enter directly into the grounds of nature, in the embrace of nature, and allow nature to gently envelop us and breathe freely. As we connect with nature, gain strength and open up our inner wisdom, our mind slowly quiets down and regains vitality and strength.  Entering nature's healing places, sitting quietly, or lying down, koi nature meditation relaxation can relieve our minds and also benefit our bodies.

After entering nature, we begin the first phase of the Koi Nature Meditation Relaxation, the "relaxation" phase. Sit with our feet flat on the ground, take a few deep chest and abdominal breaths, and then gently close our eyes. Let all our muscles slowly relax, then tense all our muscles in our bodies, then relax again, paying attention to our tense muscles and experiencing the change from tight to loose as we relax. This state of relaxation can be done a few more times depending on our own situation. Now put our awareness into abdominal breathing, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly, feeling the calmness of our heartbeat and the peace of our bodies between one exhale and one inhale. We breathe slowly to find the smoothness of the breath and meditate on the sensations of our bodies. This continues quietly for 5-10 minutes and we will gradually feel our bodies become relaxed. At this point, we continue to practice inhaling with a slight rise in our bellies, and practice exhaling with a little bit of inward retraction of our bellies.

The warm sunshine shines on our cloud-like bodies. We feel that our body is getting lighter and lighter as if it turned into air and melted into the earth. With the gusts of breeze, it flows freely in the plants. At our feet is a microwave-rippling lake, and the clear lake water is sparkling in the sunlight. The beautiful lake is filled with a fragrance. Lotus flowers are swaying in the breeze, water droplets on lotus leaves are crystal clear, and beautiful birds are singing happily. The breeze blew, and the water droplets slipped from the lotus leaves and melted into the lake. Our thoughts float freely in nature, and long-lost peace goes deep into our hearts. At the moment, we are far away from the noise of the city, give up the complicated thoughts and look for the tranquility and serenity in nature. Take a deep breath, the breath enters the chest from the nose, bringing fresh oxygen to moisten every cell of the body, and exhale slowly, bringing out all the exhaust and foul air in the body, keeping all the troubles away from us.

We feel dew drops falling on the center of our eyebrows, down the center of our eyebrows to our cheeks, then flow from our cheeks to our shoulders, slide along our arms over our fingertips, fall into the pure land under our feet, and take away our fatigue. We relax our facial muscles, stretch our brows, and lift the corners of our mouths slightly. Pressing the tip of our tongue gently against our palate, we feel a rush of jade liquid. Let's swallow it to nourish the inner organs of our body. The meditation phase, that is to relaxes the brain. At this point, we close our eyes and think of nothing but our breath. Experience the breath and breathing air circulation at the tip of the nose. Let's continue, let's feel everything again in the most natural and clean way. 

Gently close our eyes and gradually slow our breathing rhythm to the beautiful breathing melody in our mind, stretching our eyebrows, straightening our backs, relaxing our shoulders and arms, and allowing our spine to extend infinitely upward.

Part 2: In the blissful world of Koi nature meditation

We listen to the gentle sounds of the earth as we enter the blissful world of koi nature meditation and relaxation. We leave behind all the tensions, worries, and anxieties, and our mind becomes calmer and more peaceful. We tighten our abdominal muscles again and we continue to do the koi nature meditation relaxation abdominal breathing. We breathe in slowly and deeply, allowing fresh oxygen to pass through our noses and throats and directly into our bellies, feeling our bellies slowly expand and bulge outward. Exhale, our abdomens slowly are retracted in the direction of our lumbar spines, feeling all the turbidity in our bodies, exhaust gas, and carbon dioxide all out of our bodies. We continue to focus our attention on our breathing and do 12 more abdominal breaths with our own breathing frequency. We continue to experience this exhalation and inhalation with our hearts, as long as the inhalation is, the exhalation will be as long as the exhalation. As we breathe in, we feel all the energy of the universe slowly entering every corner of our bodies, nourishing all the cells of our bodies.

When we exhale, we feel that all toxins and unhappy emotions in our bodies are eliminated from our bodies. After 12 abdominal breaths, we adjust our breathing to natural breathing. At this time, our breathing becomes uniform, smooth and natural, and our hearts have no distractions. Close our eyes slightly, adjust our breathing, take a deep breath, let this dew-like oxygen moisten our whole bodies, exhale the dirty gas in our bodies together with all the unhappiness, and remove the dust. After completing the silent phase of the Koi nature meditation relaxation method, we feel that the pressure is relieved. We can stop meditation and slowly pull back to our thoughts. At this time, if we don't feel relaxed enough, it's time to enter the imagination stage of the Koi nature meditation relaxation method. In our minds, we imagine ourselves in any beautiful scenery of nature we most like, and in the pure colors with nature as the theme.

We are intoxicated in the embrace of nature, we are intoxicated in the ethereal and the pure beauty of the rose garden, washing away all the dust in our hearts, we are intoxicated in the longing for the condensed nature full of colorful sunshine and the enthusiasm for the exploration of life, and we are relaxed and happy about the deep and shallow green in nature. We feel the "green" with our hearts, we feel the power of life, we appreciate the beauty of our growth, and we miss the unforgettable experience of our youth year after year. We feel completely relaxed and relieved. At this time, no matter whether we were in the forest or not, we let such a picture roll unfold in our minds, and we slowly walk into a forest, we walk along the path in the forest full of flowers, the soft light penetrate through the gaps of the forest and scatter on the grass like a green blanket.

A breeze came and gently brushed our faces. There were snow-white and strange white clouds in the beautiful sky. Lovely birds flitted across the sky and chirped happily as if greeting the sky. We took a deep breath as if our bodies fell into the fragrance of flowers. The sun leaked from the treetops and gently fell on our faces and clothes, like our mother's hand touching us. We are next to a small stream. We bend down, holding a handful of clear water from the stream, let the cool stream moisten our faces, erase the traces left by the years, and let the cool stream moisten every inch of our skin. Koi nature meditation also changes our physiologies, such as reducing our itch gas consumption, carbon dioxide production, and our respiratory rate, so as to make our bodies achieve the best peace.

Our bodies are getting lighter and lighter, it seems that we have become beautiful Koi, swimming slowly with the gurgling stream to our ideal spiritual residence...

(One of Our Spiritual Self-Healing Thoughts)

(Koi use their gills to breathe the oxygen contained in the water, and the breathing process begins when the koi swallow water from their mouths. The water enters the mouth and passes through the blood-rich, feathery filaments in the koi's gills. These filaments absorb oxygen from the water and move it into the bloodstream. The koi's heart pumps out the blood and distributes the oxygen throughout the body, and because there is not much oxygen in the water, the koi gills are very good at absorbing all the oxygen they can possibly get. "Koi conscious breathing meditation" focuses not on the differences of respiratory organs, but on the stronger and more focused attention of our brain. Koi breathing consciousness meditation is a very basic part of our learning of meditation, the first step into meditation learning initially, and the basis for our entry into advanced meditation thoughts. Koi breathing awareness meditation relieves mental and physical stress and establishes a good physical state.
