Close the eyes,
Come into whatever position you find comfortable.
Maybe the legs crossed,
Spine tall,
Interlacing the hands,
Placing them in your lap or keeping them gently over the knees,
Allowing your awareness to come inward and even just for this time together,
Allowing everything to melt away,
The stress,
Your responsibilities,
The pressure,
Just allowing your awareness to come inward for a few moments here together.
We'll breathe into the belly for five counts,
Breathe with me.
Hold for five counts,
Exhale for five.
Breathe in for five,
Hold for five,
Exhale for five.
In for five,
Fill the belly,
Exhale for five.
We inhale for six,
Breathe,
Hold for six,
Exhale for six.
Breathe in for six,
Hold for six,
Exhale for six.
In for six,
Hold for six,
Exhale for six.
Last round,
We come up and we breathe in for seven counts,
Breathe.
Hold for seven,
Exhale for seven.
In for seven,
Fill the belly,
Hold for seven,
Exhale.
Breathe in for seven,
Hold for seven,
Exhale for seven.
You can clench your jaw,
Relax the tongue.
Feel a sense of calm,
Quiet,
Wash over the body and mind.
As we close this technique here together,
You can come back to the beginning if you need another round,
Or as a reminder,
Use this as many times as you need to throughout the day.
These practices are designed to be short on purpose,
So you can access them anytime,
Anywhere.
