As we start our mindfulness practice today,
Our breathing technique will be four to six.
Every breath has three movements.
The inhalation for four is for taking in the experience.
The pause for two is for assimilation.
And the exhalation for six is for the release of the experience.
While the pause is just for two seconds,
It is essential for the integrity of the breath.
You can close your eyes and we'll begin.
Breathing in for four,
Holding for two,
And releasing for six.
We're bridging the gap between your breath and your body.
We're allowing them to work as one,
On and off the court.
That next pause of two seconds,
I want you to amplify one thing you're grateful for.
Enjoy this last breath out.
