Hello and welcome to this quick video on circular breathing. So this is one of my favorite breathing techniques to do to help me get a little bit more present and a little bit more grounded into my body. So if your mind is feeling really just all over the place and you're really struggling to get out of your mind, This is a really simple technique that you can do for just a few minutes for you to really start to notice a difference and what's going on in your mind and bringing yourself back into your body. And it really is as simple as Circular breathing. So when I say circular, It just means inhaling and exhaling without having that pause or that stop in between. So it'll look something like this or sound something like this. And I recommend closing your eyes because that allows you to tap in and go a little bit deeper and be more present and put more attention on your breath and more attention on coming back into your body. So when you are doing this circular breathing, Going in and out through the mouth, What you're doing is you're putting your attention on the breath and taking all of your attention off of everything else. So the only thing that exists is that breathing coming in and out, Creating that circular feeling of breathing in and out through the mouth. So what I recommend is putting a timer on. And trying the circular breathing, Maybe start off for one minute and see how that feels. Maybe start off for two minutes and see how that feels. And then you can go a little bit longer each time. And if anything starts to come up, Any emotions or whatever, Again, Just be the observer, Tap into that breath, Allow what comes up to come up, Because you know that is just something that is coming up to be released and to let go. And sometimes when we do this breath work, That can happen. But if you're just doing it for a shorter period of time and you just need to recenter yourself, This is the perfect type of breath work to do in just a few minutes to ground yourself and come back into your body. So, Enjoy.
