Episode Summary

In this short guided meditation, Adam Coelho leads a calm, breath-centered practice recorded live in the Mindful FIRE Legends Community. You’ll start by settling in with three deep breaths, then do a gentle check-in with your body and mind. From there, the practice moves into simple breath awareness—notice the in-breath, notice the out-breath—and each time the mind wanders, you practice returning with kindness.

As the meditation closes, Adam invites you to name an intention you’d like to carry into the rest of your day, finishing with three deep breaths and a soft return to your surroundings.

What you’ll experience

  • Arriving with three grounding breaths
  • A body + mind check-in (tired/awake, busy/calm—without judgment)
  • Breath awareness as an anchor for attention
  • A repeatable way to work with distraction: notice, return, begin again
  • Intention setting to carry mindfulness into daily life

Let's jump into today's.

00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:52.590
Episode.

00:02:08.051 --> 00:02:09.792
welcome to this guided meditation.

00:02:10.002 --> 00:02:15.372
As always, this meditation was recorded at the Mindful Fire Legends Community meeting.

00:02:15.852 --> 00:02:22.901
If you'd like to join us to practice live and community and connect with others on the path to financial independence, we'd love for you to join us.

You can do that@mindfulfire.org slash join.

00:02:27.551 --> 00:02:31.752
But for now, let's begin with three deep breaths.

00:02:34.182 --> 00:02:40.661
Closing your eyes, positioning your body in a position that allows you to be alert and relaxed.

00:02:42.826 --> 00:02:46.692
And just drop into those three deep breaths in and out.

00:03:13.932 --> 00:03:36.432
And as you sit and breathe, just checking in with yourself, noticing what it's like in your body as you arrive here in this moment, noticing if it feels tired or awake.

00:03:42.651 --> 00:03:48.956
Just tuning into whatever's there to be noticed right now in my body.

00:03:49.106 --> 00:04:03.356
It's like this, and checking in with your mind as well.

00:04:07.317 --> 00:04:13.826
Noticing whatever's there to be noticed, busy or calm, tense or relaxed.

00:04:14.726 --> 00:04:15.716
However it is.

00:04:16.257 --> 00:04:19.826
It's like this right now, in my mind.

00:04:20.997 --> 00:04:21.807
It's like this.

00:04:46.826 --> 00:04:48.117
And now letting go of that.

00:04:48.117 --> 00:04:57.656
Just finding your way to the breath sensations, wherever they're most vivid right now, and just resting your attention there.

00:05:01.797 --> 00:05:08.442
Feeling the breath as it comes in, and knowing, feeling the breath as it goes out and knowing it.

00:05:47.681 --> 00:05:54.041
Breathing in and knowing that you're breathing in, breathing out, and knowing that you're breathing out.

00:05:57.132 --> 00:05:58.241
Nothing else to do.

00:06:01.541 --> 00:06:05.317
Just this in breath and just this out breath.

00:06:07.496 --> 00:06:13.101
Observing them moment by moment by moment, and breath by breath by breath.

00:06:37.766 --> 00:06:59.877
Whenever your mind drifts away into thought, which will happen many times, just notice with that same kind, curious awareness of mindfulness, oh, thinking's happening, and then just gently bringing your attention back to the breath and beginning again.

00:08:42.647 --> 00:08:58.007
And again, as your mind is pulled away each time, just bring it back gently refocusing on this in breath or this out breath and just experiencing it.

00:09:00.581 --> 00:09:03.522
Each time, your mind wanders away and you bring it back.

00:09:04.361 --> 00:09:17.951
You're strengthening your muscles of men, mental attention of attention and meta attention, and so just appreciate that you notice and come back and begin.

00:10:14.302 --> 00:10:15.897
We are resting in this moment.

00:10:17.697 --> 00:10:25.497
Resting in the simplicity of this in breath and resting in the simplicity of this out breath.

00:10:27.267 --> 00:10:48.112
Each one completely new, completely unique, each one, your life happening here and now letting everything else be in in the background and just resting and appreciating this moment and this breath.

00:11:49.102 --> 00:12:03.262
And as we approach the end of this practice, I invite you to bring to mind an intention, an intention that you'd like to carry and embody into the rest of your day.

00:12:04.372 --> 00:12:07.341
Just be curious and see what arises.

00:12:20.322 --> 00:12:51.612
And feeling what that feels like as you sit with that intention for a moment, I, and let us finish with three deep breaths together.

00:12:52.362 --> 00:13:04.787
Breathing in, breathing out again in and, uh.

00:13:08.292 --> 00:13:13.932
Once more in letting it go.

00:13:16.692 --> 00:13:19.211
And when you're ready, opening your eyes, coming back.

00:13:22.512 --> 00:13:23.591
Thank you for your attention.
