Hello,
Welcome to the belly breathing guided meditation.
Take a moment to find a comfortable and peaceful place to lay for the next 5 minutes or more.
Feel free to grab a pillow,
A blanket or whatever you might like to use to be comfortably still.
Your deep belly breathing should be gentle and peaceful.
If you're new to this kind of breath,
It's normal to feel tense and perhaps a little stress as you learn this new technique and begin to access your body in a way that maybe you haven't before.
Just be aware of this stress,
Focus on softening more with your inhale and come back to a normal calm breath as you need.
With practice,
This simple breathing technique is a really powerful tool.
Let's begin.
