Transcript

Welcome to a gentle breath work practice designed to bring your whole state into coherence.

Today's practice is called Perfect or Resonant Coherent Breathing.

What it consists of is a simple 5.

5 second inhale through the nose,

Followed by a 5.

5 second exhale out the nose.

You'll perform this breath pattern for a few minutes today.

This breathing pattern has been shown and proven to have significant benefits to your overall wellbeing.

By bringing your state into coherence for a few minutes every day,

We can significantly improve our mental wellbeing as well as our resiliency to stress.

So I invite you to find a comfortable place.

You can be either sitting up straight or lying down for this practice.

And just starting to become aware of your breath but not needing to change it yet.

For simplicity and ease,

We will round up the seconds to 6 by 6.

I will guide and count you through the first few rounds.

I'll also be breathing alongside you for the first few rounds.

And then I'll allow some space for you to tap into your own wisdom to stay with your own breath.

So if you haven't already,

Finding that comfortable place.

Starting to become aware of your breath but not needing to change it yet.

Just taking a mental note of how you feel within your body now.

How is your breath?

We'll start the breathing in 10 seconds.

Now just allowing your breath to return to its normal breathing pattern.

Letting go of the technique completely.

Just taking a few moments here to soak up the effects of a gentle practice.

Noticing the presence in your body.

Whenever you are ready,

Slowly fluttering your eyes open and returning to the space.
