A reset for when you feel too sensitive.
Hi and welcome.
If you are listening because you feel too sensitive,
Too reactive,
Or too much right now,
This is a short practice,
Not another explanation.
Go ahead and find a position that feels supported.
There's nothing else you need to do and you do not need to change anything about how you feel.
Notice whatever part of your body is in contact with the surface right now.
Just notice it.
This is the first cue to your nervous system.
That you are safe.
In this moment.
Now breathe in through your nose.
And exhale out through the mouth slightly longer.
That's it.
Let's do that again.
And this time we're going to inhale for the count of four,
And exhale for the count of six.
Inhale to release.
Free.
4.
Exhale to release.
Three.
Bore.
Five,
Six.
One more time,
Inhale,
Two,
Three.
4 and exhale to release.
Three.
Five,
Six.
That's it.
Let your breath return to a natural rhythm now.
This longer exhale is a signal to your nervous system that it's safe to come down now from high alert.
And you don't need to believe it's working for it to work.
Not because you need to explain it.
Just to let it be true for this moment.
Now when you are ready.
Let your awareness come back to the room that you are in.
Noticing and hearing what's around you.
You can return to this practice anytime you feel you need it.
Thank you for practicing with me today.
