Welcome to your coherence breath practice where you are bringing balance to your nervous system,
Mind,
Heart,
And emotions.
Find a comfortable seat where you can breathe lying down.
Close your eyes or soften your gaze.
However you choose to breathe,
Find even more comfort.
This will be a 10 minute practice of about 6 breaths per minute,
Inhaling for a count of 5 through your nose and exhaling for a count of 5 through your nose or pursed lips.
Let your inhale and exhale follow the rhythm of the sound.
Let's begin.
Inhale fully through your nose and take a long exhale out of your mouth and take a pause for a moment when you are empty.
Inhale 5,

Exhale 5,

Inhale 5,

1.
Inhaling 5 seconds in and slowly exhaling 5 seconds out.
Breathe in slowly through your nose and exhale slowly through your nose or pursed lips.
Breathe in.
Continue with the gentle rhythm,
Allowing the sound to move you,
To move your breath like a wave gets moved in the ocean.
And as you're breathing,
Allow any tension to melt away from your body,
From your mouth,
Your jaw.
Allow your body to be fully relaxed as you breathe.
And when your mind wanders,
Come back to your breath.
Simply breathing one breath after another,
After another.
Dropping down,
Down,
Down.
And as you're breathing,
Bring your awareness to your heart.
You may want to place a hand there as you breathe.
With every inhale and exhale,
Let your breath move through,
In and around your heart.
And as you're breathing through your heart,
Start to evoke an elevated emotion or feeling of gratitude,
Love,
Joy,
Compassion,
Care,
Or inspiration.
Feel that emotion and feel that start to light up.
Feel it start to light up and warm every cell of your heart,
Every cell of your being.
Imagine with every breath that you're being gently lit up by this feeling.
Maybe even bringing a smile to your heart,
A smile to your face as you breathe.
Allowing your breath to grow this light,
This warmth,
So that it's bigger and bigger.
And maybe even extends beyond you.
Feeling the feeling in your elevated emotion.
Through your imagination,
Feeling the elevated emotion.
And as you have thoughts,
Bring your thoughts back to presence,
Back to your breath.
Continually coming back,
Coming back.
Breathing your own breath.
Noticing any shifts within since beginning this practice.
And staying here as long as you'd like.
Continuing to receive.
