Welcome to another beautiful guided practice today.

Today I want to take you through a breathing exercise to help you just drop from the overwhelm,

From a state of stress,

From a state of extremely active nervous system to drop down back from your mind into your body.

So I want to guide you and invite you to get into a comfortable position,

Seated,

Sitting down,

Wherever you may be.

And just listen to my voice and begin to breathe.

And I'm going to count you through this.

So how it works is we're going to breathe for 4 and we're going to exhale for 8.

And when you're ready we can begin.

Inhaling in through your nose.

Ahh.

Emptying out your belly and just noticing how do you feel now.

How did you feel before?

Noticing how your body feels now.

And just being in the stillness for a moment.

Anchoring this in.

And knowing that you get to do this whenever you're feeling a little bit frazzled,

Stressed.

Just coming back to your breath is such a powerful practice and it gets to happen in such a short amount of time.

It doesn't have to take up hours of your day.

A few minutes of this breathing will allow you to settle,

Come back to your body,

Come back to clarity,

Focus and control.

And the sense of groundedness.

Thank you for breathing with me today.

I'm sending you so much love and come back to this whenever you need.

Just a quick reminder to tap back into the wisdom of your body that lives in your breath.

Much love to you all.
