Welcome.

I'm Michelle Bradley,

Exercise physiologist,

Health coach,

And SomaBreath instructor.

This guided breathwork meditation has been lovingly created for anyone who is experiencing or has experienced breast cancer.

I wish it had been available during my own journey when I was seeking something to help calm my mind,

Soothe my body,

And reconnect me with hope.

Tapping into the power of the mind-body connection is a profound way to create inner peace and support healing.

Breathing to the rhythm of the music helps set a steady cadence,

Gently guiding your nervous system into a relaxing meditative state,

One in which your subconscious can begin working quietly and powerfully on your behalf.

And most importantly,

This is your practice.

If at any point you feel the need to return to natural breathing,

Honor that.

Trust yourself.

Simply listen and allow your body to guide you.

Let's begin.

Find stillness.

Let yourself be held by the surface beneath you.

Bring your attention to your breath,

Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Let each breath be an invitation to soften,

Surrender,

And feel safe.

Now,

Let's scan your body,

Relaxing the muscles in your face,

Releasing any tension from your neck and shoulders.

Let your arms grow warm,

Heavy,

And soft.

Your chest,

Abdomen,

And back relax,

Softening the muscles in your legs,

Feet,

And toes.

From head to toe,

You are calm,

You are safe,

You are deeply relaxed.

Take a moment now to imagine yourself in a place that brings you peace.

Perhaps you're walking along a quiet woodland path,

The scent of the trees in the air,

Mist brushing your face,

Birdsong echoing through the trees.

Or maybe you're strolling along the shore at dusk,

Warm sand beneath your feet,

The horizon painted in soft pink and gold,

The waves rising and falling like your breath.

Or you may be in the desert under a star-filled sky,

Wrapped in blankets by a fire,

Laughter and love surrounding you,

Feeling cozy and deeply held.

Wherever your mind takes you,

Let it be a sanctuary,

A place where you feel safe,

Where your breath feels free,

And your heart feels open.

On this first round of rhythmical breathing,

We are going to shine light on anything that may be holding you back.

Is it fear,

Grief,

Uncertainty,

Or anger?

Are there stories or beliefs that you've carried for too long?

What emotion,

Thought,

Or memory rises and wants to be seen?

With loving curiosity,

Allow it to come forward.

You are strong enough to feel what is there.

You are safe enough to look in the shadows,

See what is hiding,

And bring it into the light.

Getting ready to breathe in beats.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Stay connected to your breath.

What is holding you back?

If a story arises,

One you've told yourself too many times,

Look at it now with kindness.

Is it still serving you?

Maybe it's time to let it go.

What is in the shadows?

Perhaps you feel tightness or tension somewhere in your body.

Begin to soften the edges.

Use your breath.

Bring compassion.

Ease the tension.

What are you bringing out of the shadows?

What message wants to be heard?

You have the courage.

You are strong enough to bring it into the light,

To be seen,

To be acknowledged,

So you can learn,

Grow,

And allow it to be released.

What is holding you back?

Getting ready to have our first large inhale of breath in 3,

2,

1.

Inhale and hold your breath for just a moment.

Exhale all the air out of your body and hold your breath out for as long as you can.

Let it be held.

Get a little uncomfortable.

If you need a little sip of air,

Take a little sip in.

Exhale fully out again and hold your breath on the exhale.

On my count,

We'll inhale together in 3,

2,

1.

Inhale fully.

Deep breath,

Healing breath in and hold and contract all your muscles.

Squeeze and hold and contract.

And on my count,

We will release and let go in 3,

2,

1.

Exhale fully,

Relaxing,

Allowing,

Resuming normal breath.

Whatever was holding you back,

Whatever feeling,

Whatever emotion,

Whatever story you brought out of the shadows,

Let this next round of breath work.

Allow it to be seen and let go.

You have everything you need to see with loving awareness,

With non-judgment and curiosity,

That which is no longer serving you.

What is ready to be released?

You are amazing.

You are brave.

You are remarkable.

Use the power of your breath to take what you brought out of the shadows,

What's holding you back.

And on this next round of breath work,

Use your breath to let it go.

And on my count,

We'll inhale together in 3,

2,

1.

Exhale fully,

Allowing,

Resuming normal breath.

When you breathe in,

Allow your belly to expand and deepen the breath.

When you exhale,

Let go,

Trust and surrender.

Every breath in,

Bringing beautiful oxygen.

Every breath out,

Deepening your commitment.

Visualize whatever has been holding you back as a color.

Let it reveal this color.

Begin to gather this color from your body,

Your chest,

Your back,

Your shoulders,

Your belly,

Wherever it has taken root.

Gather every speck into your hands,

Forming a luminous ball.

What would you like to say to this energy before you let it go?

Perhaps,

I release you.

Your time with me is complete.

Thank you for your lessons.

I am ready to set you free.

So with this next round of breath work,

Watch this ball of color lift from your hands,

Float higher and farther away,

And faintly disappear in the sky,

Getting ready to breathe together in beats.

This is your breath.

What are you setting free?

Gather it from every corner of your body and watch it disappear.

Feel your magnificence.

Feel your power grow to let go.

Whatever you wish to let go,

Let it be released with your breath.

Exhale out.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Send it away with your breath.

Your breath is your liberation.

Stay connected to your breath,

Building the healing power and energy within your body.

Feel yourself be lighter as you let go more fully.

Exhale and let go.

Last few breaths together in this round,

Seeing it disappear.

No longer a part of who you are.

You are free.

Getting ready to inhale.

And fully inhale.

Take a deep breath in.

Let it fill your belly.

Let it fill your chest and hold.

Hold this breath.

Hold this breath.

And now fully exhale,

Letting all the air out of your body.

Relaxing your face,

Your chest,

Your legs.

Everything relaxes.

If you need a sip of air,

Take a little sip of air.

Exhale and hold your breath out.

This allows for the healing to take place.

And on my count,

We'll take a deep inhale together in 3,

2,

1.

Fully inhale.

Inhale,

Filling yourself up,

Up,

Up.

Fully inhaling and hold and squeeze and contract all your muscles.

Hold,

Hold.

Tight,

Tight,

Tight.

Contract.

And now fully exhale all the air and resuming normal breathing.

Let this space be a moment of presence.

And in this stillness,

Ask yourself,

What qualities do I need?

What do I want to call in to feel whole and empowered?

And let your answers arise gently with love.

With each inhale,

You will draw the quality into your body.

With each exhale,

You will release and trust.

What are you calling in?

Love?

Strength?

Clarity?

Forgiveness?

Self-compassion?

Resilience?

Perhaps it is the permission to be exactly as you are.

What qualities are you calling in with this next round of breath work?

And with every inhale,

Breathe in deeply this quality.

Watch it swirl and dance and permeate every cell of your body.

And with each exhale,

Release,

Trust,

Surrender.

So what are you calling in?

Let your breath energize you and restore you.

Let's get ready to breathe in beats.

Because you are powerful.

You are worthy and remarkable.

And your breath has the power to transform and bring deep healing.

Getting ready to inhale.

Breathe in the quality you desire.

Exhale and trust.

And bring your attention to your heart.

And imagine a radiant light beginning to glow in your chest.

A soft golden flame.

With every breath in,

This light grows brighter.

It is fuller.

It is warmer.

This powerful light spreads throughout your chest.

Down your arms and legs.

It is illuminating you from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet.

Feel the energy from this brilliant healing light.

Exhale freely.

This light carries healing.

It carries love.

And it reaches every cell of your being.

Let it fill you.

Let it fortify you.

Let it strengthen you.

Bringing greater strength.

And loving power.

You are amazing.

And you have the power to use your breath to transform and transcend.

Just a few breaths more.

And now a deep breath in and hold.

And full exhale,

Letting out all your air and hold.

Be strong.

Relaxing your body.

Knowing your power.

Taking a sip of air and fulling exhaling again and hold.

You are so incredible.

Hold for healing.

And on my count,

Deep inhale in three,

Two,

One,

Inhale.

Inhale fully and contract all the muscles of your body.

Squeeze,

Hold,

Contract,

Hold,

Hold.

You've got this.

Hold that quality in your body,

In your mind.

And now fully exhale and let go.

Returning to normal breathing.

Do you feel a shift?

A rise in your energy and your power?

You are becoming.

You are remembering who you truly are.

With this last round of breath work,

Step into your awakening and breathe with the knowledge that you have everything you need to rise and transcend to your highest self.

Now is your time.

You are in the driver's seat.

You have cleared what no longer serves you.

You have welcomed in the light and now ignite your life force energy.

With every breath,

Awaken your power.

Feel the fire awakening in your heart.

Bright,

Bold,

Beautiful.

Allow it to pulse,

To spread through your blood,

Your bones,

Your breath,

Your spirit,

The wholeness of who you are.

You are radiant.

You are whole.

You are alive.

So breathe deeply,

My friend.

Feel the tingles and the warmth and then sensations in your body.

Your breath is bringing you healing,

Oxygen.

Powerful,

Positive energy fortifying you with everything you need.

So in this next round,

See yourself as the light.

The incredible being that you are surging with power and positivity.

Getting ready for our final round of breath work.

Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth or nose.

Full,

Deep breaths in and out.

Getting ready to inhale in three,

Two,

One.

Your life force energy pulsating throughout your body.

You are radiant.

You are whole.

Know with every fiber of your being,

As you say to yourself,

I am the light.

Am healthy.

I am resilient.

Breathe deeply.

Your entire being is pulsating with vitality.

You are connected to something greater.

This is your higher self.

This is your power.

This is your truth.

You are the light.

Watch it grow,

Expand.

The whole of who you are.

Last few breaths.

Inhale and hold,

Hold,

Hold.

And now fully exhale.

Release,

Relax,

Let go.

Hold the exhale.

Take a sip of air if you need it and fully exhale.

Allow it to get a little uncomfortable.

You are strong,

Mighty,

Amazing and powerful.

And on my count,

We'll breathe in three,

Two,

One.

Fully inhale,

Bring that energy up through the whole of who you are,

Into your inner being,

Into your inner being,

Into your inner being.

Let that energy fill your body.

Squeeze and contract all the muscles.

The light is dancing up your spine,

Illuminating your brain,

Your body.

Hold,

Hold,

Hold.

And now fully exhale.

Release,

Let go,

Relax fully.

And resume normal breathing.

What do you feel?

What is your knowing?

You are alive with vital energy and healing power.

Let your body soften and settle.

You have honored yourself today with your breath,

With your presence,

And with your courage.

Give yourself these final few minutes to simply delight in the vital energy you have created with your breath to transcend and heal.

Let the peace settle deep in your bones.

Let the joy find you.

Let love wrap around you like a warm embrace.

You are worthy of healing.

You are worthy of healing.

You are already whole,

And you are forever enough.

You are love,

You are light,

And you are limitless.

I wish you peace.

I wish you strength.

And above all,

I wish you wellness.
