Hi, I'm Anna Korf. Welcome to Release Tension Breath. This is an active breathing practice to release accumulated tension from the body and mind. I invite you to sit comfortably with a straight back. Relax your shoulders and close your eyes. Take a slow natural breath in through the nose and exhale softly through the mouth. Once again, Slow inhale and gentle smooth exhale. And now, Open your mouth and begin an active inhale through the mouth and a strong releasing exhale through the mouth. Inhale fully, Exhale, Let it go. Keep going, Keep breathing, Let it be a full body breath. On the inhale, Feel expansion in the chest, The ribs, The back, The belly. Allow the whole torso to participate. And on the exhale, Release from the whole body, Not only the lunge, But the jaw, The shoulders, The belly. Keep breathing, Active inhale and releasing exhale. Keep breathing, Create energy on the inhale and drop tension on the exhale. Stay with your own rhythm. And just breathe. If it feels natural, Allow a sound on the exhale, A soft or any sound that helps you to release. Let it move through you. With each exhale, Consciously drop something, Pressure, Tightness, Holding and keep breathing. Allow yourself to let everything go. Strong inhale and deep release. Let the exhale empty you completely. Keep breathing, Trust your breath, Let your breath guide you. Keep breathing, Everywhere, Exhale, Release from everywhere. And now, If you feel ready for the next few breaths, Intensify the release. Make the exhale more intentional, More expressive, More real. Let it go, Drop it, Release it and stay present. And let it go. If a motion arises, Allow it. If nothing arises, Keep breathing. You are in control, You can slow down at any moment. Take three more strong breaths. Inhale and exhale, Release. Inhale and exhale, Let go. Last one, Deep inhale and full release. And now, Begin to slow the breath. Let the inhale soften, Let the exhale become gentler. Beautiful, Good job. Reduce the intensity gradually. Return to breathing through the nose. Slow, Notice the space inside. Notice what feels lighter. Take one slow inhale through the nose and a long soft exhale. Allow the last layer of tension to melt. Rest here. When you are ready, Gently open your eyes. And if it feels right for you, You can hug yourself and thank yourself. Carry this sense of release with you. Thank you for practicing. See you soon.
