Breathe,

Placing one hand on your chest and the other on your belly,

Taking a nice deep breath in and out.

As you continue to take some nice deep breaths,

Making sure that you feel your chest and your belly rising and falling with each breath.

When we get caught up in our emotions of the stress and the busyness of life,

We don't extend our belly out with each inhale.

We hunch our shoulders forward,

We create tension through the front of our chest.

So as you take this mindful breath,

Feeling that expansion through your chest and your abdomen.

As you exhale,

Feeling your body relaxing.

Taking five to 10 breaths whenever you need to,

To connect back into the breath,

To reduce the intensity of the moment,

To centre and ground yourself,

And to get back to your place of peace before beginning the moment again.

Namaste.
