So we can begin by allowing ourselves to sit comfortably.
You can either have your eyes open or closed.
And just allow yourself to take a nice easy breath,
Letting your awareness come down into the body.
And we'll be taking a three-part breath.
The first part into the belly,
The second to the bottom of the lungs under the rib cage,
And the third part up to the part under the collarbone.
We'll do this series three times,
Increasing the depth of our breath each time.
So let's begin now,
Taking a nice easy breath into the belly,
Letting the breath expand under the rib cage,
And follow it up to the collarbone,
Holding it for a second,
And then releasing from the top to the middle,
And fully out from the belly.
And this time allow yourself to breathe a little more fully first into the belly,
Under the rib cage,
And up to the collarbone,
Holding it for a second,
And then allow yourself to release from top to middle,
All the way through the bottom of the belly.
And now allow yourself to take a full breath into the belly,
Under the rib cage,
Letting them expand fully,
And up to the top of the rib cage,
To the collarbone,
And holding this breath as long as it feels comfortable,
And then allowing the breath to release from the top,
The middle,
And letting the breath fully out of your body,
And then breathing naturally and easily,
Allowing the body to find its own rhythm.
Allow your eyes to look gently upwards,
And as you do,
Allow a smile to come to your face as you breathe in.
Breathe out,
Relaxing your shoulders and your whole body,
Letting your eyes come down in a relaxed,
Easy way,
And just enjoying the moment.
