Welcome to this morning breath practice for starting your day with some more calm and grounded energy.
So you may wish to close your eyes or simply soften the gaze if that feels comfortable for you.
And we're going to start by simply breathing in through the nose.
Exhaling through the mouth.
One more time,
Breathing in through the nose.
Exhaling through the mouth.
I invite you to place one hand on your belly now and seeing if you can notice the belly expand on the inhale,
Really inviting that breath to drop a little bit lower.
So let's do a couple more.
Breathing in through the nose and into the belly.
Exhaling through the mouth.
Breathing in through the nose and into the belly.
Exhaling through the mouth.
And seeing if we can extend the exhale to be slightly longer than the inhale.
Let's try a couple more like that.
Breathing in through the nose.
Exhaling a little bit longer.
Breathing in through the nose and into the belly.
Exhaling just a little bit longer than the inhale.
Releasing the hand now.
And just staying with the breath here for a few more rounds,
Breathing in through the nose.
Exhaling through the mouth.
Inhaling.
Exhaling.
Beautiful.
Take a moment to notice any sounds around you.
Perhaps the feel of the surface beneath you.
Wiggle fingers and toes.
And when you're ready,
Opening the eyes back up.
Thank you for practicing with me today,
And I hope to see you here soon again.
Thank you.
