Hello,
Dear ones,
And welcome to this breathing exercise meditation.
I will be guiding you through some breathing techniques that can be utilized in the morning when you wake up or shortly after to energize yourself to start the day in the direction towards your best self.
Take a moment to get into a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down.
Make sure your clothing is comfortable and loose around the waist to allow for easy breathing,
Giving yourself the maximum benefit of this exercise.
Now close your eyes or soften your gaze,
Whatever you're comfortable with.
We will begin by breathing with the diaphragm.
Your diaphragm is located at the top of your abdomen,
Just below the ribs.
It is the source of your confidence.
As you inhale,
Your diaphragm contracts down,
Creating space in your chest for air to fill the lungs.
When you exhale,
Your diaphragm relaxes and expands.
This is why you feel so relaxed when you breathe out.
Consciously breathing while focusing on this muscle,
Build your confidence with each breath you take,
Allowing for your communication with others and for you to honestly speak your truth.
Now let's begin.
Inhale deeply,
Pushing out your belly,
Which is contracting your diaphragm,
And exhale.
Let your belly fall and feel a little relaxation that you generated with this first breath.
Now again,
Inhale,
Pushing your belly out as much as you can,
Imagining that your confidence is building as you do so.
Let your breath go,
Feeling deep relaxation as the air leaves your body.
Take another deep breath in,
Remembering to expand your belly,
Drawing to the surface that confidence that is within you,
And slowly exhale,
Feeling a deep relaxation from these wonderful breaths.
Only you can make the change towards confidence through deep breathing.
Now again,
Inhale deeply,
Feeling your diaphragm contract,
Allowing for airspace,
And let your breath go,
Relaxing deeply,
Feeling confident in your talents and abilities.
You are the one who makes the changes in your life.
No one else but you can breathe deeply,
Accessing your inner strength.
Now one more big breath in.
This is the last one,
So make it really good,
Expanding,
Feeling courageous,
Feeling fearless,
Feeling bold.
Exhale slowly,
Letting the breath fall away effortlessly,
Feeling deep relaxation from this exercise.
Now slowly take a moment to wiggle your fingers and your toes and open your eyes,
Centering yourself back,
Joining the present day.
May you take this practice with you,
With intention,
And know that you can do this simple energetic breathing exercise whenever you may need.
Namaste.
