Hollow and warm to this very gentle breath work technique to calm and re-center.

When you're feeling overwhelmed,

Anxious,

You just need to regroup.

I invite you to sit in a nice seated position,

Somewhere comfortable.

And as you're sitting here,

Closing down your eyes,

Just observing how you're feeling currently in your body,

The sensations,

Observing your heart rate,

Pounding,

Are you feeling hot,

Warm?

And as you're observing your body,

Observing the thoughts coming through,

Observing the story you're currently telling yourself.

And as you're sitting here,

Begin focusing on your breath,

Breathing in through the nose for four counts,

And out through the mouth for eight counts.

Breathing with me,

In through the nose for four counts,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One.

And out through the mouth for eight counts,

Seven,

Six,

Five,

Three,

Two.

I invite you to focus on this breathing rhythm.

Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth,

Allowing your body to relax,

Feeling the sensation move through you.

That's it.

In through the nose for four counts,

And out through the mouth for eight counts.

I invite you to begin observing the emotion moving through you,

And allowing yourself to feel it.

Allowing your body to begin processing this emotion,

Without shedding a tear,

Comforting yourself.

Just really let that emotion be felt.

Allow your heartbeat to slow down as you allow your body to relax into this breath.

Now as you maintain focus on your breath,

Asking yourself,

What is the core belief behind this feeling?

What is the story coming through?

Is it a lack of safety?

Are you feeling invalidated?

Unappreciated?

Just observing here,

Focusing on your breath.

Bring you back to this present moment.

Mind yourself,

You can only do one thing at a time.

Reminding yourself of how incredible you are.

Reminding yourself that you are enough as you are.

Enough to me.

I am safe.

I am capable.

As I am.

I am safe.

As I am.

I am safe.

I am worthy.

As I am.

I am safe.

As I am.

I am capable.
