Welcome,
Friends.
We're going to take things back to basics.
We'll keep our time here really simple and focused.
So whether you're seated at your desk or in a comfy chair,
Maybe you're lying down,
Just continue to make yourself comfortable wherever you are.
Bring your eyes to close.
Relax your shoulders away from your ears.
And allow the jaw to release by dropping the tongue away from the roof of your mouth.
Now find a few soft and slow breaths.
Allow the body to release any last little fidgets.
Find some gentle movement in the toes and fingers.
And then allow the palms of your hands to land on the tops of your thighs.
And keep the breath here soft and gentle.
I find that in moments of chaos or immense stress,
The easiest way to bring yourself back into your body,
Or back into the moment,
Is focusing on deep conscious breathing.
And sometimes that's easier said than done.
And when that's the case,
I'd like to revert back to one of my favorite breathing techniques.
Today we'll focus on one-two breathing,
Where the exhales are twice as long as the inhales.
But before we begin,
I want you to just bring your awareness back to your breath.
And let's start by taking two big rounds of full deep breath together.
Inhale through the nose.
Inside out the mouth.
Again,
Inhale through the nose.
And exhale through the mouth.
Go ahead and seal the lips closed.
Find that soft and gentle breath back in and out the nose.
And we'll do our focus breathing with a pace of three and six.
That's an inhale for a count of three and an exhale for a count of six.
You can do this at any pace,
Today or in the future.
Four,
Eight,
Five,
Ten,
Whatever feels comfortable.
We'll complete two rounds together as I guide you through.
And then you'll continue with that three-six pace.
On your own.
So let's begin.
Inhale,
One,
Two,
Three.
Exhale,
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Inhale,
One,
Two,
Three.
Exhale,
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Now continue those counts at your own pace.
And keep that awareness on the count in your breath.
And if at any point you find that your mind drifts and wanders.
Just observe in that moment.
Choose not to pass any judgment.
And bring the awareness back to the count and your breath.
Is there anything else you'd like to hear more about?
Thank you.

Sending peace your way,
