Good morning and welcome to Morning Ease,
Your quick breathwork session to start the day with a sense of calm and ease.
I'm Jax and I'm so excited to guide you through this short but really effective practice.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable position.
So sit up straight,
Relax your shoulders,
Maybe you do a couple shoulder shrugs,
Maybe a nod your head side to side,
Do some neck circles,
Anything that's going to allow you to find just a little bit more comfort in your seat.
You can place your hands on your knees or in your laps and if it feels comfortable for you gently close down your eyes or just maintain a soft gaze with the eyes slightly open.
Let's start by just taking a huge inhale deeply through your nose,
Filling up your lungs,
Feel your belly and chest expand and then give me a big exhale slowly through your mouth releasing any tension or stress.
Let it all go.
Let's do that two more times.
So take a big inhale,
Fill up your lungs,
Big,
Big,
Big,
Deep breath and then exhale.
Just let that go and then do this last one on your own.
And then let's continue with a rhythmic breath.
So in a moment,
We're going to inhale for a count of four and then exhale for a count of six and there's going to be no pauses between the inhale and the exhale.
I do,
However,
Want you to find a pace that feels natural for you.
We'll do a couple of rounds together and then I'll give you a minute to do it all on your own.
So let's take an exhale at the nose to prepare.
Inhale 1,
2,
3,
4,
Exhale 6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Inhale 1,
2,

Exhale 6,
5,

Inhale 1,
2,
3,
4,
Exhale 6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Inhale,
Exhale,
Inhale,
Exhale.
And then for the next minute,
Do this all on your own.
Allow your mind to anchor here in the present moment,
Focusing solely on the inhale and the exhale.
Wherever you're at,
Give me a deep breath in and a deeper breath out.
And then for our final round of breath work,
We're going to take five deep belly breaths.
So I want you to go ahead and place your hands on your belly.
And I want you to imagine that your belly is like a balloon.
And on every inhale,
Your belly is going to inflate and expand like a balloon.
And on every exhale,
It's just going to deflate and release like a balloon.
We'll do the first three rounds together and then the second two will be all you.
Take an exhale out the nose to prepare.
Inhale into the belly for 1,
2,
3,
Hold 1,
2,
3,
Exhale 3,
2,
1.
Inhale 1,
2,
3,
Hold 1,

Exhale 3,
2,
1.
Inhale 1,
2,
3,
Hold 1,
2,
3,
Exhale 3,
2.
The next two rounds are all you.
Let's take a final deep breath together.
So take an exhale out the nose to prepare.
And then inhale,
Take the deepest inhale you've taken all morning.
And then exhale,
Release it completely.
If your eyes were closed,
You can gently open them.
And I hope you carry this sense of ease with you throughout your day.
Thank you so much for joining me for some morning ease with me,
Jax.
And I'm wishing you a wonderful and peaceful day ahead.
Until next time,
Take care.
