Hello and welcome to this present moment. Go ahead and get yourself as comfortable as you possibly can, Whether seated or laying down, Allowing your spine to be straight as we ground back into the now. Pulling our thoughts out of past and future as you take a deep inhale, Noticing the stretch of your chest as the lungs fill up with breath, And exhale out through the mouth with a heavy sigh. Let your shoulders relax away from your ears As you inhale again, Deeply filling up the entire torso. And exhale again with a heavy sigh, Allowing your body to be heavy. And support it. Taking one more deep breath this way, Inhaling as deeply as you can all the way down into the belly. Taking an extra sip in at the top big heavy exhale out through the mouth. Letting the weight of the world roll right off your shoulders. Eventually letting the lips seal. Deepening your inhale through the nose, Inviting it all the way down to fill the belly. Open the ribs and lift the chest. Now exhaling through the nose as slowly as you can. Feeling the body deflate as you exhale. Squeezing the navel in towards your spine Preparing for your next deep inhale again, Filling the torso all the way up to its maximum capacity. Exhaling slowly through the nose when you're ready As if you're breathing out through a thin little straw, How slowly can you exhale, Squeezing all old breath out of the belly. Making room for your next deep breath in. Maybe you hold the breath in now for a few seconds. Any tingle or swirl as this oxygen is held in the body. Exhaling through the nose as slowly as you can when you're ready. Squeezing all old breath out. Anne Haley with the NYX. And just continue to inhale. As deeply as you can. And exhale as slowly as possible through the nose, Visualizing all tension and stress exhaling feeling free to add a mantra. As simple as I am breathing in. And I am breathing out. I breathe in love. Exhale peace. I inhale trust and clarity. Exhale doubt and confusion. I am here, Right now. Now. Blinking your eyes back open gently when you're ready. Welcome back. To the rest of your day.
