We'll take a little break.

We're going to start again a little bit different,

Challenging ourselves to make the breath just a little bit longer,

Get a little more of the parasympathetic nervous system happening.

All right,

Prepare yourself,

Maybe shake off any sensations that have arose in the body.

Okay,
