Hi there,
And welcome to your breath practice.
I'm Luke,
The Breath Architect.
Before we begin,
Take a moment to settle in.
If you're sitting,
Find a comfortable upright position,
Let your spine lengthen,
Just enough to feel supported.
But if you're lying down,
Just let your body sink into the surface that you're lying on.
Slowly softening,
Night,
Feel the ground holding you,
Reminding you that you don't have to carry anything right now.
Soften your gaze,
And gently close your eyes whenever you're ready.
Take a smooth inhale through your nose,
And let it out slowly through your mouth.
And again,
Inhale gently,
And exhale a little longer than you inhale.
Feel your shoulders melt,
Feel your body soften.
We're going to breathe in at a rate of four seconds in,
And six seconds out.
In three,
Two,
One,
And in.
And in through your nose,
And out through your mouth.
Calm,
Unforced.
Stay with this rhythm.
Let your body soften,
Exhale and just melt.
This is your system shifting into night mode,
A state designed for repair,
For deep sleep.
Now release any control of your breath.
May your night be peaceful,
Restorative.
The music will continue to play on.
Use this space to release the day gone by,
And rest into the night.
Thank you for watching.
