Slow and spacious.
Soft.
Create a desire for air.
Slow.
Six breaths per minute.
In for four and out for six.
Spacious.
Create space between the ribs.
Complete the exhalation and allow your diaphragm to move back to its resting place for a complete inhalation.
And if you haven't done so,
Now is the time to come into a relaxed,
Straight spine.
Allow your gaze to be soft or eyes closed as you go with it.
Take a soft and silent breath in through your nose and exhale just as smooth and soft as that first taste of morning dew.
We'll begin the breath count.
In two three four out two three four five six.
In two three four out two three four five six.
In two three four out two three four five six.
Can you breathe so softly?
The hairs inside your nostrils do not stir.
And without forcing,
Allow your belly to open and inflate and completely empty as you exhale.
Taking up space.
Slow.
Smooth.
Easy.
And if your mind wanders,
Good.
Return your attention to the sensation of your breath.
Soft.
Slow.
Slow.
Spacious.
And on your next exhalation breath,
To return to its natural form and feel the light of your awareness.
Just begin to feel your body from the inside out.
A light shining through your skin,
Cloth and earth.
And when you're ready,
With the ease and reverence of one who knows,
Her feet are heaven upon the earth.
Flutter open your eyes.
