So let's begin the somatic breath work daily practice by tuning into your body and how it wants to be in this moment right now,
And doing whatever you need to,
To just become a little bit more comfortable and tune into your breath.
Does your body want to breathe high and tight in the chest,
Or slow and deep into your belly?
Not trying to change it just yet,
Just becoming aware.
Now,
Tuning into your body even deeper and see where you're holding the stress,
The pressure on yourself.
And once you've located that stress and pressure,
Begin to consciously control your breath in and out of your mouth,
Deeply into your belly.
Keeping that breath circular,
So you're always breathing in or breathing out.
And let's use that breath to clear the stress,
Finding the breathing pace that feels right for you.
Using your breath like a broom to sweep out the stress.
Use your breath to clear your body.
Use your breath to release the pressure.
Let's start to slow the breath down,
Taking a deep breath in,
Letting it go.
Taking another deep breath in,
Letting that one go too.
Now take a deep breath in and hold it at the top and connect to how you want to feel.
Holding that breath as long as you feel guided to do so.
Whenever you're ready,
You can let that breath go.
Switching to breathing in through the nose and out through the nose or mouth.
Breathing in that feeling you just connected to and expanding that feeling throughout your body with each breath you take.
Continuing to slow your breath even more and feel even more.
Expanding that feeling into every cell in your body,
Every fiber of your being.
Taking five more slow,
Deep.
Now taking in your deepest breath of the practice,
Filling yourself all the way up and letting it fall away and holding your breath there.
And whenever you need that next breath in,
Breathe in the feeling of gratitude.
Breathing in gratitude for your body and everywhere it's taken you.
Breathing in gratitude for your breath and the power it gives you.
Taking in another deep breath of gratitude all the way into your heart.
Taking in another deep breath,
Fully anchoring yourself into your heart.
Taking in a final deep breath,
Bringing yourself back into this present moment.
Into the here and now.
And gently opening your eyes whenever it feels right for you.
And taking in the beauty of your surroundings and this life.
