Welcome to your breath track for managing fear.
Begin by opening the mouth and inviting the air to come in and out.
Bringing some effort to the inhale and a little bit of a sigh on the exhale.
Sending the inhale to the low part of the belly if you can.
Letting the exhale take away what is not serving you.
Minimizing the gap between inhale to exhale and exhale to inhale.
Making it a circular and continuous breath.
Picking up the pace and the intensity.
In just a moment,
We're going to tone or let out a hum.
Until then,
Letting the breath move through you faster with more strength and really getting in to wash out that fear.
And we'll let out that tone on my count in three,
Two,
One.
Letting the tone be long.
Feel your body vibrate.
If this was your prayer or your intention for peace,
What would it sound like?
And keeping the mouth shut and inviting the air now to move gently in and out through the nose.
Letting this breath be like water.
Always moving.
Letting your breath be like the tide.
Gently rising and gently falling.
Allowing little to no pause in between that rising.
One circular breath and using your mind's eye.
Imagining somebody else who might be feeling fear.
And imagining you extending a hand to that person.
A hand of love.
A hand of courage.
A hand of support.
And when that same hand has given that love,
Taking your own hand and placing it on your heart and giving yourself that same love and support.
Thank you for practicing with me today.
