Hello, This is Julie Scahn and I'm going to guide you through a breathing technique and calming ritual that I call Zen in 10. This one minute meditation is used to get rid of any feelings of anxiety or stress and to get your mind and body calm and centered throughout the day. To begin, Please get comfortable in a seated position and close your eyes. Together let's take one big breath in and let it all out. Now please allow your breath and your mind to follow along with my counting. Let's inhale one, Exhale two, One. Inhale one, Two, Three. Exhale four, Three, Two, One. Inhale one, Two, Three, Four, Five. Exhale six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One. Inhale slowly, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven. Exhale eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One. Inhale one, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine. And a slow exhale, Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One. Please take a deep breath in and let it all out.

Reviews

Zen in ten is really effective. Thank you. I feel much better.

I love this breath technique. It’s not one I have seen in my training. I love how you have to focus on the counting which helps to keep you focussed.

Loved how simple, yet effective that it was. It’s also something very new that I personally haven’t heard of.

Nice technique, Julie—short and easy to remember!
Thank you!
