Hello and welcome to Day 2 of our Breath and Anxiety series.
Today,
Let's set our intention with these words.
Embrace the whispers of kindness within.
They carry the power to heal the loudest storms of anxiety.
You are a masterpiece in progress.
You are painting the colors of resilience,
Courage,
Onto your canvas of life.
Let's begin with Day 2.
Today,
Our intention is deepening relaxation through breath.
Welcome to this breathwork meditation practice today.
Today,
We will focus on deepening relaxation through conscious breathing.
Start by finding your comfortable position,
Wherever you may be.
And if it's comfortable,
You can close your eyes.
Take a few deep breaths to center yourself and bring your attention to the present moment.
As you inhale,
Imagine drawing in calmness.
And as you exhale,
Releasing stress.
Inhaling calm and exhaling stress.
Visualize this in whatever way works for you.
Now,
Begin to deepen your breath.
Inhale slowly and deeply,
Allowing your abdomen to expand fully.
You can even place your hands gently on your abdomen and feel it expand.
Feel the breath move through your shoulders,
Through your lungs,
Into your diaphragm,
And expand.
And then exhale slowly and completely,
Letting go of any remaining tension in your body.
With each breath,
Feel yourself sinking deeper.
Deeper into a state of relaxation.
Expanding and releasing.
Expanding and releasing.
As you continue this practice,
Notice how your body responds to each breath.
Focus attention on areas that you feel tension or discomfort.
And send the breath to those areas,
Feeling them soften and release.
Stay here for a few moments,
Allowing,
Deepening your breath.
And enjoying the space that you have created.
Your goal for today,
Deepen your relaxation by focusing on slow,
Deep breathing and letting go of tension with each exhale.
When you feel anxiety rise,
Slow,
Deep breathing,
Expanding and letting go.
Expanding and letting go.
Thank you for joining me here on Day 2.
I look forward to connecting in Day 3.
