Welcome to the practice of pranayama,
Also referred to as conscious breathing.
Anyone at any age can practice this breathwork and see benefits right away with the daily practice.
With any pranayama breathwork that you practice,
If you feel uncomfortable,
Simply return back to the natural breath,
Slowly breathing in and out.
What you do has the potential of affecting you and the entire world in a positive way.
Let us begin.
Find a comfortable seat and sit with a tall spine,
Relaxing your shoulders down and away from your ears,
Creating space and relaxation.
If this is not available to you,
You may sit or lay any way that is comfortable for you.
In this moment,
Gently close your eyes and begin to notice your breath,
Slowly moving in and slowly moving out.
Allow yourself to take a few natural breaths here,
Just becoming aware and connecting with the natural inflow and the natural outflow of your breath.
Enjoy.
Notice its rhythm.
Notice your rhythm.
There's no other rhythm quite like yours.
Slowly breathe in and slowly breathe out.
There's no other rhythm.
Conscious breathing begins with awareness.
As you continue to consciously feel into your breath,
Notice the sensations in your body.
Keeping the breath slow and easeful,
Notice as awareness itself of any sensations.
Allow yourself to be with what is there.
Noticing as a kind,
Compassionate witness of your breath.
Without judgment or any engagement.
Noticing as a kind,
Compassionate witness of your breath.

And your next inhalation.
Notice if you can hear the subtle sound that your breath makes.
Fully notice the subtle sound of your own breath.
Allow the sound to swirl and travel in your inner ear,
Simply becoming awareness itself.
