Welcome.
If you like you can allow your eyes to gently close.
Allow your body to slow down and rest for a moment.
Let yourself settle into just being here.
Nowhere else to go,
Nothing else to do right now.
Just letting yourself be.
And now become aware of the fact that you are breathing.
Just feel into the breath and let it breathe through you.
Whatever it's like,
You might feel it in the nostrils,
In the throat and mouth,
In the rising and falling of your stomach.
Feel the breath happening through you.
And now let's take a few intentionally deep breaths.
And I'm going to count for you.
We'll breathe in through the nose for a count of four and breathe out through the mouth for a count of six.
And we'll do this three times.
So find your next inhale and let's begin.
Breathe in through the nose for one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
And out through the mouth for one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
In through the nose for one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
And out through the mouth for one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Six.
One more time in for one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
And out for one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Now just let your breath do whatever it wants to do.
You can try this at any time throughout the day.
Notice tension,
Maybe anxiety or stress or frustration and take three deep breaths in through the nose for four seconds and out through the mouth for six.
Then reopen to the present moment as if you were just waking up beginning your day brand new.
And now if your eyes were closed,
You can gently open them and extend this relaxed breathing into whatever you do next.
