Welcome back to another guided breath work.
Settle yourself into comfort,
Whether that's sitting upright or laying down on a firm surface.
If you are sitting upright,
Allow the posture to be relaxed,
But aligned.
Shoulders are back and down,
Dropping out of our minds and more into our bodies,
Closing down our eyes,
Shifting from the doing to the being mode.
Take a deep breath in through the nose to just relax.
Sighing it out,
Start to reflect on moments that led up to this very breath.
Any thoughts that are cluttered in the mind,
Tabs that are open.
As you begin to focus on the breath,
Those slowly fade away.
Thought pattern and breath pattern are one in the same.
So as you reflect on any emotions,
Any thoughts,
Any worries or anxieties,
Every single inhale,
I want you to envision focusing in on one of those things.
And on your exhale,
Closing out of it,
Hitting the X.
It fades away in the mind.
To begin,
I want us to really practice exaggerating our complete breaths.
So really exaggerate your inhale.
How long can this be?
I want you to exaggerate the hold.
See how comfortable you can be at the top of the breath.
As you exhale,
Really releasing all the air from the entire body.
Feel tensions leave this space.
Even at the bottom of the exhale,
You pause,
Exaggerate.
Continue this for about two to three more breaths.
Really,
Really going in slow motion,
Enjoying every bit of it.
Each breath takes you away from the mind,
Takes you away from external distractions and noise,
And brings you deeper inside.
Each breath reminds you of your true nature.
Overthinking tends to happen when we lose sight of that.
But with this next breath,
You can bring in a more tender,
Nourishing feeling into the body and into the mind.
Not all of your thoughts are true.
To really get out of the mind and more in the body,
We're gonna wake the body up a little bit.
Sometimes when we drift off in our minds,
We leave our bodies here.
I want us to practice what is called the fountain breath,
Where it's a faster inhale and a effortless exhale like the top of a fountain.
So the inhale in is through the nose.
Exhale is passive,
So it's.
Feel what this contrast feels like as you continue in through the nose a little rapidly as the fountain shoots up.
And it expands effortlessly outward.
This is a great breath technique to reduce anxiety,
Drop out of the mind.
It's also known as just a natural antidepressant.
So really,
Really giving into the breath as much as it gives to you.
Sometimes overthinking is simply just a defense mechanism,
A cycle we've created,
A pattern we've been stuck to for a while that actually holds us back from true success and true abundance and true love.
So as you continue this breath,
Each breath brings you closer to trusting yourself to remove that second guessing,
Those wonders,
Those what ifs,
Waiting until the right time.
Today we break the cycle with the breath.
This time,
Pause at the bottom of that next exhale.
Surrender.
Look to the third eye,
Lift the pelvic floor,
Shoot this energy upward and out of the body.
Nobody wants to make a wrong decision,
But the honest truth is we all make wrong choices.
It's unavoidable.
So if we could be okay with making wrong choices,
Realizing that we still win by receiving a life lesson and add a little more compassion to yourself,
Realizing that lessons are invaluable,
Priceless,
Finding your natural breath,
Becoming more curious about yourself than judging yourself,
Allowing that 10-year-old version of you to speak in this moment.
Feel this wave of relaxation cover you from your toes all the way up to your head.
You are protected and you are guided and you are always in the right place at the right time.
Taking one last big breath in through the nose,
You sigh it out and let go of that extra information that's no longer needed.
Resetting,
Refreshing and revitalizing the brain,
Allowing it to breathe with you for the rest of the day.
Thank you so much for breathing with me today.
Until next time,
Peace.
