Now gently breathe in through your nose for a count of four. Inhale. 2 3. 4 Then slowly breathe out for a count of six. Exhale. Two. Three, Four, Five, Six. Again, Breathe in gently. 2. 3. . . 4 and breathe out slowly too. 3. . . 4 5. 6. Let your exhale remain soft and comfortable. You do not need to empty your lungs completely. Continue at this rhythm. Inhale. 2. 3 4 Exhale, 2, 3, 4. Five. As you breathe, Notice whether your shoulders can soften. Notice whether your jaw can loosen. Allow your hands to rest. Nothing needs to change immediately.
