This is a breathing space practice that you can use anytime,
Anywhere to regain calm,
Clarity and confidence.
To begin,
Become physically still wherever you are,
Either lying,
Sitting or standing.
Choose a posture where you will be as comfortable as possible and lightly close your eyes to sink into the points of contact between your body,
The chair,
To any sensations you are experiencing.
If you notice any tension or resistance towards painful or unpleasant sensations,
Gently turn towards them,
Accept them as much as you can.
If you begin to tense around the breath,
Focus on your exhale that you breathe out completely,
Releasing any tension,
Soften into gravity.
Notice any thoughts as they arise and pass through your mind.
Let them come and go like observing clouds in the sky without bringing much attention to what they are about.
Also,
Notice any feelings,
Emotions as they arise,
These come and go as well as to your breath.
Notice the different sensations deep in your body as you are inhaling and exhaling.
Notice how the front,
The back and the sides of your torso slightly expand and contract.
Keep your awareness within the flow,
Use the breath to anchor you in the present.
Feel how the air gently moves through your nose as you inhale and exhale.
Each time you notice your mind has wandered,
Gently guide the mind back to the breath deep in the body.
Keep feeling how the air gently moves through your nose as you inhale and exhale.
Take a few more deep breaths and when you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Feeling calm and refreshed.
Thank you for taking the time to practice some healing self-care.
I hope to return to this practice whenever and relaxation.
