Hello there and welcome to today's short and sweet nervous system reset breathwork flow.

This is a great way to start your day or prepare for a meeting or presentation,

Something that might be a bit stressful or simply just shift your state if you're feeling triggered or stuck or you want to transition from one part of your day to the next.

We will be taking 20 breaths in and out through the mouth,

Rapidly controlled hyperventilated breaths.

Upon the 40th and final breath,

You're going to exhale the air all the way out and hold your breath at the bottom with no breath in for about 40 seconds.

Once that's done,

We'll take a big inhale in through the nose,

Filling all the way up.

Hold it for about 10 to 15 seconds and then let it go.

Relax the body and then we'll transition into a relaxing breathwork flow after that.

A short little practice to seal the experience.

So if you're ready,

Find a comfortable seat.

You can close your eyes or have them open and we'll begin with our first breath in 5,

4,

3,

2,

1.

That was 5.

Keep on breathing.

10.

That's 15.

5 more to go.

10.

17.

This is 18 and 19.

Final breath in here,

Filling all the way up and let it go.

Let all the air fall out to the bottom of your breath and hold.

We'll be holding here for 40 seconds so just keep on holding and trust in your ability to hold your breath.

You can do this.

Listen to the sounds of the music.

We're almost there.

Just keep on holding.

Noticing any sensations in your body and we'll take a breath in,

In 5,

4,

3,

2,

1.

Breathing in through the nose,

Filling all the way up right to the top.

Holding here.

Few more seconds and let it go.

Yeah,

Just sigh that breath out.

Let your shoulders drop.

Let your body relax here.

Let your breath return towards a normal rhythm without any control for a second.

Now we're going to shift into 7 breaths in through the nose with a breath hold at the top of the last breath.

So holding in the inhale of the 7th breath.

And we'll be getting a little bit faster as we take each of these breaths and a little bit fuller.

So we'll begin with our first breath in through the nose in 5,

4,

3,

2,

1.

And letting go.

Breathing in.

And letting go.

Breathing in for 3.

And letting go.

Breathing in for 4.

And letting go.

Breathing in for 5.

Bigger breath.

And letting go.

Breathing in for 6.

And letting go.

Biggest breath you've taken all day.

This final breath.

Breathing in.

Holding at the top.

Continuing to hold.

And letting it go in 3,

2,

1.

Smiling to yourself,

To your nervous system.

Noticing the little sensations in your body.

A little oxytocin hit from shifting your state.

Thank you for practicing with me today.

I hope this has been a positive shift for you.

And I'll see you in the next one.

Namaste.
