Bring yourself into a comfortable upright position,
Spine long,
And if you can,
Place your feet firmly on the ground.
Drop your shoulders,
Drop your tongue off of the roof of your mouth,
And bring your attention to your breath.
We'll begin a steady rhythm together.
Inhale,
2,
3,
4.
Hold,
2,
3,
4.
Exhale,
2,
3,
4.
And hold,
2,
3,
4.
Again,
Inhale,
2,
3,
4.
Hold,
2,
3,
4.
Exhale,
2,
3,
4.
Hold,
2,
3,
4.
One more round.
Inhale,
Hold on full.
Exhale,
And hold.
Let your breath anchor you.
There is nothing you need to fix right now.
Nothing you need to figure out.
Just trust in this moment.
Sometimes we scramble in our mind to try to find the next best step or the next best decision.
But sometimes all we really need to do is ground ourselves and come back into our body and connection with our breath.
From there,
The answers will come.
Come back to that steady breathing cadence.
And with every round of breath,
Feel yourself becoming more steady,
More grounded,
More present.
Let the stability of this boxed breath anchor you.
Your body is safe.
Your breath is here.
Your feet are firmly planted.
Your jaw is relaxed.
Your shoulders are loosened.
Stay with this rhythm.
1,
2,
3,
4.
Hold.
Exhale,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Hold.
Inhale,
2,
3,
4.
Hold.
Exhale,
2,
3,
4.
Hold.
Inhale even slower,
2,
3,
4.
Hold,
2,
3,
4.
Exhale,
2,
3,
4.
Hold,
2,
3,
4.
Stay with this rhythm.
And when you're ready,
Return gently.
