Breathe With Me ~ Breath Break ~Elongated Exhale

Join me as we breathe nine rounds of breath with an elongated exhale. We'll check in with your body both before and after we breathe.

An elongated exhale is a beautiful breath to balance the nervous system and slow down.

Welcome, I'm Jocelyn. Take a breath with me for this short breath break. It can be a midday, Beginning of the day, End of the day. This is the elongated exhale. So simply inviting your eyes to close down wherever you are and allowing your awareness to go into the quiet within. For some of you that may not be that quiet, For others it may be dead silent, But allowing your awareness to go inward. Allowing it to drop down onto the breath and take notice of your breath and what it's doing right now without trying to manipulate it, Without trying to change it. Just noticing without judgment your breath. You might notice the depth of breath, Where your breath is moving in your body. You might notice what it feels like on the back of your throat or in your nostrils. And if you notice any thoughts or criticisms or judgment or blame that comes up as your awareness is on your breath, Just allowing it to be and moving forward into bringing your awareness back on your breath. An elongated exhale breath is simply that. We're going to inhale through the nose on a count of four and exhale through the nose on a count of six. So the exhale is longer. And I will count for you. And we'll do nine rounds of this breath. So beginning now, Inhaling through the nose, Two, Three, Four, Exhaling, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Inhaling, Two, Three, Four, Exhaling, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Inhaling, Two, Three, Four, Exhaling, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Inhaling, Two, Three, Four, Exhaling, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Inhaling, Two, Three, Four, Exhaling, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Inhaling, Two, Three, Four, Exhaling, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Three more breaths, Inhaling, Two, Three, Four, Exhaling, Two, Three, Four, Five, Inhaling, Two, Three, Four, Exhaling, Two, Three, Four, Inhaling, Two, Three, Four, Exhaling, Two, Three, Four. And releasing your breath back to its normal cadence, Natural pace, Allowing your awareness to drop inward again. Just noticing your breath and any sensations in your body. Physical sensations, Energetic sensations, Memories, Emotional sensations. You might allow your awareness to gently scan down the back of the body from the top of the head, Down the back of the neck, The shoulders, Down all the curves, Hills and valleys of the spine, Down the glutes and the backs of the legs, Down to the bottoms of the feet, And then scanning back up the front of your body, The shins, The knees, The front of the thighs, The pelvis and the belly, The ribs and the heart center, The front of the throat and the face, All the way back up to that top of the head. And let's take one deep breath together, Inhaling through the nose, Opening your mouth and sighing out and bringing sound if it feels good. Whispering a little thank you to yourself for showing up.
