Breathe On Purpose: 4 Days Of Tuscan Breathwork To Calm Your Nervous System
With RadianceCiao from Tuscany, Italy! I recorded these four breathwork practices for you in a lemon tree meditation room at Villa Lena, tucked into the Tuscan hills, so your nervous system can feel safe and supported again. Each day is one clear, step-by-step practice under seven minutes, a quick reset you can come back to whenever you need calm right now. Together we'll move through my R.I.S.E. Framework: Regulate with box breathing, Integrate with alternate nostril breathing, Surrender with five intentional breaths, and Expand with an affirmation meditation where you choose the breath that feels best for you. Every practice closes with gratitude, and even a little gratitude in advance. My intention is for you to leave each practice feeling calm, clear, and ready to share your gifts with the world. You'll hear the birds, the gentle breeze, and the sprinklers hydrating the earth. Allow yourself to embrace the nature and soak up this Tuscan energy wherever you are. Make it your morning ritual, your daily afternoon practice, or your pause before the next big task. I'm so proud of you for choosing to breathe on purpose. What you will practice: box breathing, alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana), extended sigh exhales, affirmations, and gratitude practice.
Calm your nervous system with nature sounds, box breathing, alternate nostril breathing, and affirmations from Tuscany.
