Transcript

Take a slow,

Deep breath in through your nose and softly exhale through your mouth.

Settle your body into the ground beneath you,

Anchoring you to the earth's stable,

Supportive energy.

Bring your awareness to the centre of your chest,

To your heart space.

You might place a hand over your heart.

Feel its steady rhythm.

Imagine a soft,

Warm light glowing here,

The light of your own beautiful heart.

Let's begin a rhythmic,

Alternate nostril breathing practice to attune your awareness to your heart chakra and bring balance to your energy.

Bring your right hand to your face.

Gently close your right nostril with your thumb.

Breathe in slowly through your left nostril,

Letting your inhale last for a count of four.

Now close your left nostril with your finger.

Release your thumb from your right nostril and exhale smoothly through your right nostril for a count of four.

Now inhale gently through your right nostril for a count of four,

Imagining radiant energy flowing into your heart chakra and expanding warmth within your chest.

Then close your right nostril and exhale through the left for a count of four.

Continue this gentle,

Alternate nostril breathing for several rounds,

Matching the timing of your breath to the unique rhythm of your heart.

Keep your awareness focused at your heart,

Feeling your breath and heartbeat align in harmony.

When you feel ready,

Lower your hand and let your breathing find its natural pace.

Linger for a moment in this inner harmony and openness you've built within your heart chakra.

Bring your hands to your heart.

Send thanks to your heart and yourself for taking this time for self-care.

Feel the support of the ground beneath you.

Become aware of your surroundings as you return to the here and now.

Take one final deep breath in and a long,

Slow breath out.

When you feel ready,

Gently wiggle your fingers and toes.

And slowly open your eyes.

Bringing this sense of peace with you into the rest of your day.
