Meditation Translation

Phonetic Geordie Meditation Translation

Get ye sell comfy. Best to sit on yer arse, on a cushion or owt if want, and think that thaz summic like pulling ya heed from the middle to the roof. Good for back position, serious.

Feet on the floor please an aal.

Get yourself into a comfortable position.

Sitting on a cushion, a chair, lying on the back if prefer, and think of a piece of string attached to your head from the middle to the ceiling.

This is to help keep the spine straight, with a good for the back position. Try and keep your feet on the floor too.


Reet. Take a muckle slow breath in. Had it aal in for a while, boot coont of 4. Slowly blah it aal oot slowly, coont of 8ish.
Dee it again like, just divvent hurry.
It's reet under our noses. And again twice owa.


When you are comfortably positioned, take a big slow breath in.

Hold it in for a relaxed count of 4.

Then slowly exhale for count of 8 if possible, or just whatever is comfortable.

Do this again, without hurry.

Concentrate about the breath just under the nose.

Repeat this process again, twice.


Dee it again like, just divvent hurry – nee rush.

Repeat this again, without hurry or rush.


Can't dee this wrang, hasn't got to be owt perfect at aal.

There is no breathing perfection, just allow the process to flow. One element of the process, is the natural pause.


When ye breathe, the chest n belly n shoulders are ganna move. This is good.

Each breath, try and think aboot it – the breath that is.

It's reet under our noses.

Focus on it - ye beek, n tash, n gob.

Where do yee feel it most, comin’ in or gannin oot?

Breathe in, pause, breathe out, pause.

Think of the breath in the small triangle area just under your nose, above the lips.

Is it more notable during the inhale or exhale? This is something to concentrate on, not if but when the mind wonders.


Ya ganna have hods ov mad thoughts n that aal the time. Mind wandering like.

Divvent stress aboot it.

We aal dee it.

It's like a monkey mind thingy.

Booncin here'n'there none-stop n again.


You will have many thoughts.

The monkey mind, jumping all over.

This is what the human mind does.

Do not worry about this.

We all do this.

Perfectly, at times frequently annoyingly too.

Thinking.

Thing is, divvent worry aboot it. Really. Jus hav them.

It's ganna happen; them thoughts.

When they dee, get ye heed back to breathin

Belly oot? Tits oot? Nerse, lip?


When these thoughts seem to have spiralled and meditation practice is lost, accept that.

Accept the thoughts, the wavering is going to happen, and it’s harmless.

Return to the breathing process.

With each breath, try to think about it.

Focus on it.

Once again, think of the breath in the small triangle area just under your nose, above the lips.

Notice when you inhale, the chest, belly and shoulders are going to move.

If breath process is your meditation anchor – there can be  many of these – try to get regain breath focus.

Breath on the nose, the belly expanding or contracting?


That's a focus n calms them monkeys doon.

That's your focus again – the  monkey mind calms.



Now wiggle ye fingaz and terz aboot a bit,

Open your eyes


Now wiggle your fingers and toes.


And slowly open your eyes.



And back to a calmer you!
