Hello and welcome to this mindfulness and breath flow meditation.
For the next short while we're going to use our breath to slow down our body,
Slow down our mind.
We're going to be mindful and in doing so we're signaling to our body,
To our subconscious that we are safe and everything is okay.
You can be seated or laying down in a comfortable position and when you're ready,
Closing the eyes.
And just letting go of your awareness.
Bringing some mindfulness now to your breath and just noticing how you're holding it.
And noticing that perhaps there's a little bit of space to create a bit more ease,
A bit more flow to your breathing.
If it's comfortable for you,
Breathing in and breathing out through the nose.
Surely we are going to start some simple breathing of five seconds in through the nose and five seconds out through the nose.
Meeting me now on your next inhalation.

And allowing the breath now to return to its natural rhythm.
And perhaps noticing a small amount of calm.
A small amount of ease.
We're going to add an extra step to the rhythm by adding a five second hold at the end of the exhale.
Meeting me on your next inhale.
