To this grounding and energizing daily breath practice.
We will be doing four rounds of breath.
The first round of breath is nasal breaths through the nose and out the mouth.
Ten rounds of that with a ten second hold.
Followed by conscious connected breaths,
Which is 22 breaths in through the mouth and out through the mouth.
No pause at the top or bottom.
Followed by a 30 second hold,
Repeating the conscious connected breath and then ending with the grounding nasal breaths again in through the nose and out through the mouth.
I want you to begin by sitting comfortably.
Either cross legs on the floor or in a chair.
Bring one hand to your heart space and one hand to your stomach.
And take a deep breath in through your nose.
Hold at the top and out through your mouth.
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
In through the nose,
Out the mouth.
In the nose,
Out the mouth.
Continuing this line of breath,
Which is ten breaths here.
Holding your breath for ten,
Nine,
Eight,
Seven,
Six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Into the mouth and out the mouth.
Twenty two breaths here.
No pause at the top,
No pause at the bottom.
Holding your breath for thirty.
And a few seconds will begin our next round of conscious connected breaths.
Three,
Two,
One.
In through the mouth and out through the mouth.
Final breath in and out and holding again for thirty.
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
And starting our nasal breaths in through the nose and out the mouth.
Holding.
Holding for ten and then we'll begin bringing in through the nose for four and out for eight.
Doing that twice.
In,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Out,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six,
Seven,
Eight.
In,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Out,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six,
Seven,
Eight.
And whenever you're ready,
Just coming back to the room,
To the space you're in.
Hopefully feeling a bit more grounded and energized to go about your day.
I hope you enjoyed this short daily breath and feel free to come back to it before meditations or whenever you need just a quick refresh.
