Hello, I'm Jessie Galvin. Welcome to this quick nervous system reset. So this practice uses left nostril breathing to gently support your nervous system in shifting towards a more parasympathetic rest and restore state and to support the clearing of any stagnant energy. There's nothing to get right here, We're simply going to breathe together. So I invite you to take a moment to make sure your body is comfortable and to feel the support of the chair that you sit on underneath you. Gift yourself just a couple of moments to land here, Acknowledging this sacred time you have carved out in your day to be with yourself. We'll begin by taking one deep breath together in through the nose and sighing the breath out through your mouth. Now gently place your right thumb on your right nostril to close it. We'll be breathing only through the left nostril for the next few minutes and a reminder to go at your own pace. So begin with a slow steady inhale through your left nostril and a slow steady exhale through your left nostril. Continue breathing in this way to find a rhythm that feels really kind to your body. Keep your breath moving as slowly and steadily as you can through your left nostril only. Allow your breath to be smooth, Unforced and natural. As you continue breathing in this way, Notice how it is affecting your system. You might feel a very subtle shift, A gentle softening or slowing down. There's nothing to search for, But just noticing what's here in this moment now. Stay with this gentle rhythm. With each cycle of breath, Your nervous system can begin to naturally recalibrate and downshift. Taking a few more moments to breathe through the left nostril. Simply allowing your breath to move in a way that feels good for you. Now gently release your thumb and allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm and flow through both nostrils. We'll pause just to absorb this spaciousness and to notice any shifts in how you feel. Invite you to take a moment to acknowledge what you've just offered yourself in whatever way feels good for you. We'll close with one more deep breath in through the nose, Sighing the breath out through your mouth. I'm Jessie Galvin. Thank you so much for being here. This reset is now complete. I wish you a beautiful day.
