Hello and welcome.
The purpose of this breath work is to help shift anxiety.
We are going to do two different breath patterns.
The snake breath and the sigh breath.
The snake breath you're going to inhale in through your nose and on the exhale you're going to make a hissing sound kind of pushing the air out from behind your teeth.
The snake breath will sound like this.
As you can see the exhale is very very slow.
The sigh breath you're going to inhale in through your nose and exhale with a sigh.
It'll sound like this.
We will cycle through those two breaths throughout this meditation.
If it feels good for you you can close down your eyes.
If not maybe just find a gentle gaze looking down towards your nose.
And we will begin with the snake breath.
Inhale in,
Exhale through the teeth.
Now the sigh breath inhale in,
Exhale with the sigh.
Snake breath inhale in,
Exhale through the teeth.
Inhale in for a sigh breath.
Inhale in again for the snake breath.
Exhaling letting any tension melt away.
Letting your shoulders relax.
Relaxing your face.
Beautiful.
We'll inhale again for a sigh breath.
Exhaling with the sound.
Inhale in for the snake breath.
Exhaling through the teeth.
Letting any tension melt away.
Inhale in,
Exhale with a sigh.
Snake breath inhale in through the nose.
Exhale through the teeth.
Sigh breath inhale in.
Breathing into the belly.
Exhaling with the sigh.
We're about halfway there.
About five more rounds.
Inhale into the nose for the snake breath.
Exhaling through the teeth.
Letting something go.
Inhale in again for the sigh breath.
Breathing into the belly.
And just exhaling with the sound.
Maybe something louder than before.
Inhale in for the snake breath.
Slow breath here.
Beautiful.
And we'll inhale in for the sigh breath.
Letting something go.
Three more.
Inhale in for the snake breath.
And inhaling in for the sigh breath.
Letting something go with the sound.
Beautiful.
Maybe finding some movement right now for these last few breaths.
Inhale in again for the snake breath.
Breathing into the belly.
Nice slow exhale through the teeth.
We'll inhale again for the sigh breath.
Beautiful.
Two more.
Inhale in for the snake breath.
Exhaling through the teeth.
Inhale in for the sigh breath.
Inhale in for the sigh breath.
Releasing with the sound.
Last one.
Nice deep inhale in.
Really really slow exhale.
Letting the tension melt away.
Letting any stress melt away.
And we'll do one last sigh breath.
Deep inhale in through your nose.
Exhaling with the sound.
Beautiful job.
Now maybe you bring your hands up to your heart and thank yourself for being here today.
