Transcript

Sometimes we feel like we don't have time to take a much needed break.

I'm sharing this 10 breaths practice with you because you do have time,

Right now,

To pause and take 10 breaths with me.

Make sure you're in a safe and comfortable place to focus inward.

Use this recording if you need to find that space before you begin.

Close your eyes or allow your gaze to soften.

Take a deep,

Slow breath in.

As you exhale,

Notice softening in your body.

Again,

Breathe in deeply through your nose,

Sensing nourishment from your breath.

Exhale slowly through your nose.

Allow more softening and release.

Take a deep breath in,

Cool and revitalize.

Long,

Slow exhale.

Let go of tension.

As you breathe in,

Feel the energy draw upwards through the body to the top of the head.

Exhale allowing the breath to wash over the whole body.

Feel grounded,

Secure.

Inhale peaceful,

Nourishing breath from the toes to the crown of the head.

Feel the exhale send a releasing wave of peace through the whole body.

Allow the abdomen to expand as you breathe in deeply,

Whole body filled with peace.

Exhale slowly,

Softening the belly,

Allowing the whole body to let go,

Even more.

Breathe in deeply,

Bring awareness to the heart center.

Exhale and allow the heart center to expand as peaceful breath surrounds the whole body.

Exhale energizing breath through the heart center.

Exhale and let go,

Sensing this breath creating a comforting blanket of peace around the body.

Fully inhale,

Taking in this comfortable energy,

Feel it support you.

Exhale slowly,

Sensing the whole body supported,

Safe.

Inhale very slowly and fill every nerve and cell with nourishing energy.

Exhale completely,

Experience calm,

Clarity,

Peace.

Stay here and continue taking a few more peaceful breaths until you're ready to slowly bring your gaze back to your surroundings.

Take a few more moments to experience this calm,

This peace that is here for you right now.

Thank you for joining me for these 10 breaths.

Namaste.
