Good morning,
My name is Luke,
The Breath Architect.
Now,
Find a comfortable seat,
Feet grounded,
Spine long,
Hands resting softly.
We begin today by energizing the body and mind through a combination of activation,
Restorative breathing and some breath holds.
The sequence will start with 10 breaths with a 10 second breath hold.
In the second set is 20 breaths with a 20 second breath hold.
And the final set will be 30 breaths with a 30 second breath hold.
For this practice,
You can choose to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Or,
If you want to supercharge this practice,
You can breathe in and out of your mouth.
When you're ready,
Soften your gaze and gently close your eyes.
And I invite you to take a slow inhale through the nose and a long,
Relaxed exhale through the mouth.
And again,
Inhale,
Feeling your ribs widen.
And exhale,
Letting your shoulders soften.
We'll first begin with 10 activation breaths in 3,
2,
1.
2.
You can follow the breath pacer in the background or go at your own pace.
4.
5.
6.
There's no pause in between the inhale and exhale.
8.
9.
And on the 10th breath,
You're going to exhale all the way out.
Empty the lungs and hold for 10,
9,
8,
7,
6,
5,
4,
3.
Let's go for round 2.
Deep in,
Let it go.
2.
Just trust the breath and let your breath guide you.
Only,
And exhale fully again and hold for 20 seconds.
You might feel some buzzing,
Some tingly sensations in your face,
In your chest,
In your fingertips.
This is all part of the activation process.
In 3,
2,
1.
Let's go for the final round,
30 breaths.
1.
Just resting in the quiet.
And 30 seconds is up.
If you want to hold for longer,
Feel free to do so.
And when the urge comes,
Gently return to a natural breath.
Soft,
Easy,
Through the nose.
When the mind is quiet and the body is open,
You can listen.
Ask yourself,
What does your inner guidance want you to know or feel right now?
Whatever shows up,
Welcome it with curiosity.
The music will continue to play for a few moments.
Use the space to lock in your intentions.
