Take a moment to settle into a comfortable position and allow your attention to turn inward.
In the next few minutes,
We'll practice box breathing,
A simple rhythmic breathing technique with four equal phases.
Inhale,
Hold,
Exhale,
And hold.
Each phase will last for four gentle counts,
Creating a steady rhythm for your breath.
As you follow the rhythm.
Allow your body to become still and your mind to become a little quieter.
Take a slow,
Natural breath in.
And let it go.
And now,
Let's begin.

Let the rhythm fade.
And return to your natural breath.
Nothing to count now.
Just breathe.
And whenever you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
And welcome back.
Thank you for breathing with me.
