Welcome!
I'm so glad you're here.
Over the next few minutes,
We're going to use the power of your breath.
To wake up your body.
Clear your mind.
And help you feel more present.
We'll breathe in through the nose,
Filling the belly first,
Then the chest.
And will release with an audible sigh through the mouth.
Letting go of tension with every exhale.
Toward the end of the breathing,
We'll pause after the exhale for a short breath hold before taking one final nourishing breath in.
If at any point you need to return to your normal breathing.
Please do.
Listen to your body.
Now settle into a comfortable seated or lying position.
Let's begin.
Take a deep inhale through the nose,
Belly.
Chest.
And sigh it out.
Again.
Inhale fully.
Expanding your whole torso.
And exhale with a long,
Gentle sigh.
Now continue at your own steady rhythm,
Breathing in,
Filling yourself with fresh energy.
And breathing out,
Softening your jaw.
Relaxing your shoulders.
Allow each inhale to awaken you.
Allow each exhale to release whatever feels heavy.
Keep the breath active and full.
Beautiful.
Now for the final few breaths,
Gently increase the pace.
A little quicker.
A little deeper.
Stay with the rhythm.
Three more reps.
Deep inhale and exhale.
2.
One more.
Take your biggest breath in.
Sip in just a little more air.
And gently let it go with a long sigh.
Now simply hold the breath out.
Nothing to do.
Nothing to force.
Just rest here.
Allow your body to settle.
Notice the stillness.
Notice the quiet.
When you're ready,
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
Fill the belly,
Fill the chest.
Hold it gently for just a moment.
Feeling calm.
Feeling clear and slowly exhale.
Return to an easy,
Natural breath.
Notice how you feel now,
Perhaps a little lighter.
A little more weight.
A little more connected to yourself.
Carry this feeling with you as you move through the rest of your day.
Thank you for sharing these moments with me.
Take care and keep breathing.
