Hello beautiful soul and welcome to today's Coherent Breathwork practice.
Coherent breathing is extremely simple and so beneficial for our health and our happiness.
It supports us in synchronizing the brain and heart frequencies which cultivates a profound sense of inner peace,
Quietens the chatter of the mind,
So that you can connect with more of you.
How we're going to breathe today is with a five and a half second inhale through your nose and a five and a half second exhale through the nose or the mouth,
It's your choice.
I personally prefer to exhale through the mouth because it allows me to extend the exhale with more ease than the nose allows.
We want to breathe by filling ourselves up from the belly gently to the chest without pushing or forcing the belly in any way,
Just really allowing it to be soft and loose as you breathe.
And my invitation for you is to try this practice every day for 30 days and I want you to notice how your experience of the world shifts.
You don't need to complete the full practice every day if you don't have space,
But even a commitment to five minutes a day to really transform your perspective and quiet in the mind will be enough for you to notice a difference.
So let's sit up nice and tall,
Nice straight spine and let's take the neck over to the right side for a nice big inhale and exhale rolling it around to the left side taking a nice breath in here and do a few of these in your own timing exhaling as you take the neck from one side to the other and inhaling into the stretch just breathing in to those places where maybe you're sensing some tension some tightness and directing your breath into those spaces and releasing them with the exhale and if you like you can even add in some audible sounds as you exhale here if that feels supportive beautiful finish your last one coming back into center and let's bring the hands together in front of the face palms touching and we're going to inhale as we open the arms up breathing into the chest into the heart filling the space here and exhale as you drop the chin to your chest rounding out the spine hands come back to face inhale opening perhaps it's a mini backbend here and exhale rounding out beautiful go a few more in your timing breathing deeper breathing slower just opening the body beautiful back to center we're going to begin our breath work journey to now place one or both hands on the belly and let's begin breathing in 3 2 1 and out 3 2 1 inhale 3 2 1 exhale 3 2 and 1 breathing in and out inhale exhale and feel your awareness dropping further into the body and as you keep breathing in this timing I invite you to focus in on the heart space let whatever is present in the heart to be here to be moved by your breath and let your body become softer breathing in 3 2 1 and out 3 2 1 in and out in and out getting softer and softer with every breath and perhaps you feel the need to add in a few gentle movements to the body just opening up even more spaces creating more room inside more room for all of you to be present you we're halfway through our practice now keep breathing keep staying with your rhythm keep opening taking your final breath here and just coming back to your natural rhythm of breathing finding stillness you can either stay seated or lie down just begin to breathe into your heart again sensing the space that it energetically takes up in your body your beautiful heart and access now the feeling of gratitude feeling gratitude spread from your heart space moving down the arms to the elbows all the way to the fingertips notice the sensations of gratitude as it begins to spread down the chest to the belly to the hips a deep sense of gratitude moving down the legs past the knees all the way to the toes expanding around the back of the body up the spine to the neck and the face and the skull and perhaps as gratitude arrives on your face you can help it smile and hold that feeling of gratitude for a moment longer beautiful and together taking in a nice big inhale through the nose deep down to the belly a big exhale with a sigh you're feeling ready you can gently flutter the eyelids open take in your surroundings notice what perhaps looks different or feels different just from 20 minutes with your breath thank you for joining this journey thank you for your presence and have a beautiful peaceful day
