Transcript

Welcome.

I'm going to invite you to get comfortable for the next five minutes.

We're going to be doing a gentle connection and anchoring our breath,

Refocusing.

So begin to either cross the legs into an easy seat or allow yourself to lean up against a wall,

A chair,

Or maybe perhaps comfortably lying back.

Slowly begin to find your breath.

I invite you to close your eyes,

Checking in with your body by noting where do you feel your breath moving in your body.

Do you notice the breath moving fast,

Choppy?

If you do,

It's okay.

This is our opportunity to slow it back down.

I'm going to invite you to begin to take a slow,

Deep breath in and gently out of the mouth.

Take another inhale in and out the mouth.

Inhaling in through the nose and out the mouth.

Two more times with an inhale coming in nice and easy and exhaling it slowly out.

Another inhale breath coming all the way up the length of the spine and exhaling all the way back out,

Releasing.

Finding your own natural breath now.

Perhaps exploring with noticing places in the body that might be feeling tight,

Stuck,

Cold.

And now we're going to allow the breath to go to those places that need them the most.

So wherever you're at in your breath,

Exhale out the air and slowly take an inhale in and out the mouth,

Gently releasing.

Take another inhale in through your nose and now out,

Exhaling all the way out.

Take another big inhale in through your nose and exhale it out,

Release it all the way.

Take another big inhale in and then exhaling it.

And if you haven't done so already,

Send your breath on the inhale to the place that needs it the most.

Exhale it all the way out.

Finding your natural breath,

Thanking yourself for this time that you've allowed some relaxation in.

When you're ready,

You'll begin to gently open your eyes.
