Transcript

Before we get started,

Take a moment to make sure that your spine is straight yet relaxed.

See if you can release your shoulders and your neck.

Relax your hands and gently place one on your chest and one on your lower abdomen just right below your ribs.

Soften your eye gaze.

Take a deep breath and release a big sigh.

Again a big breath and as you release your sigh,

Let your eyes fall closed.

Take some comfortable deep breaths.

The kind of breathing you take when you are completely relaxed,

Completely at ease.

And we'll start to transition to our belly breathing.

As inhale for five seconds,

Filling the chest and then the abdomen,

Pause and exhale for five seconds,

Softening the belly back towards the spine,

Let that rhythm go.

Let's come back to sensing the connection of your hand against your chest and your belly.

Listen for what sounds are around you.

Bring your awareness behind your eyes.

Open your eyes with a soft gaze and look around you where you are and see if you can notice something that you haven't in a while.

Hope you enjoyed that short belly breathing break.
