Hello and welcome.

Today we'll embark on a journey of mindfulness through the practice of box breathing.

Find a comfortable and quiet space.

Sit or lie down and let's begin.

Close your eyes if you feel comfortable doing so.

Allow yourself to release any tension in your body.

Take a deep breath in and exhale slowly.

Continue this pattern at your own pace,

Allowing each breath to bring you deeper into a state of calm awareness.

As you breathe,

Imagine a box forming in your mind,

Each side representing a different phase of your breath.

Inhale,

Drawing the first side of the box.

Hold,

Completing the top side.

Exhale,

Forming the third side.

Hold,

Completing the box.

Feel the rhythm of your breath aligning with the edges of this imaginary box.

As you continue,

Notice the sensation of each breath,

The rise and fall of your chest,

The calming rhythm taking over.

As you breathe,

Let go of any thoughts that may arise.

Imagine them floating away like leaves on a gentle stream,

Leaving you with a clear and tranquil mind.

Allowing the soothing repetition of box breathing to guide you into a profound state of mindfulness.

As we near the end of this practice,

Take a moment to express gratitude for this time you've dedicated to yourself.

Carry the tranquility you've created into the rest of your day.

When you're ready,

Gently open your eyes and reacquaint yourself with the present moment.

Thank you for joining in this breathwork session.

May you carry the peace you found into the world around you.

Namaste.
