Deep Grounding Breath

Our breath is our foundation. Our breah deepens the connection we have with ourselves. Our breath creates space between triggering people and situations. Take a break during your day to sit in stillness, focus on your breathing and ground yourself.

Welcome to this mindfulness practice.

Today I'm going to walk you through how to ground yourself through deep breathing.

I invite you to find a comfortable position either sitting down,

Standing up,

Or lying down on your back.

Whichever posture you choose,

Be sure that you are feeling supported with a straight spine,

Yet feeling comfortable and relaxed.

I invite you to either close your eyes or look down with a soft gaze.

Often times we go through our day on autopilot,

Not even thinking twice about our breath and becoming easily overwhelmed.

Today we're going to practice anchoring in our breath,

Focusing on our breath,

And allowing our breath to relax us.

Let's start by taking a deep breath in through our nose,

Slowly exhaling out through your mouth.

Again,

Breathing in deeply through your nose,

Expanding your stomach,

And slowly exhaling out through your mouth as your stomach contracts.

One more time,

Again,

Deep breath in through your nose,

Expanding your stomach like a balloon,

And slowly exhaling out through your mouth.

I invite you to return to the normal rhythm of your breathing.

By inhaling through our nose,

Our stomach naturally expands,

Our chest with it allows our body to fill with positive energy and puts our mind at pause.

By exhaling out through our mouth,

It releases all of our tension,

All of our stress,

And pours a sense of calm through our whole body.

I'm going to invite you to take these grounding deep breaths three more times.

So let's start by breathing in through our nose,

Expanding that stomach,

And slowly exhaling out through your mouth,

Releasing all of the tension.

Again,

Deep breath in through your nose,

Focusing on the expansion of that stomach,

And exhaling it all out through your nose.

One more time,

Deep breath in,

Bringing in the relaxation,

And slowly exhaling out through your mouth.

I invite you to return to normal breathing.

Thank you for following this mindfulness exercise.

Know that you can come back to this exercise at any point in time when you feel like you need it,

Tapping into this sense of calm and sense of relaxation.
