Take a moment now to get comfortable either lying on the floor or just sitting on a chair.
Gently close your eyes over.
You're going to learn how to do the mindful belly breathing technique.
This is really helpful if you're feeling upset or any strong emotion or you're just feeling really worried or stressed.
Place your hands now on your belly area and give your full attention to just noticing the rise and fall of your belly as you breathe.
Now to get rid of any stress you're holding in your body we're going to take three big breaths in and three big breaths out.
And when we do breathe in we're going to feel your belly expand all the way out and then when you breathe out you'll feel your belly go all the way back down.
We will also count to three as we breathe in to make sure we're breathing in for a nice long breath and breathing out for a nice long breath.
So let's have a go together.
So breathing in now deeply through your nose counting one,
Two,
Three as you breathe in and just feel your belly expand as you breathe in.
Now breathe out one,
Two,
Three and again just feel your belly go back down as you breathe out.
Let's do this again breathing in two,
Three and breathing out two,
Three.
Come again breathing in deeply now through your nose counting one,
Two,
Three and breathing out one,
Two,
Three.
Just letting that go now and allow your breathing to return to normal.
Return your attention to noticing how your whole body is now breathing and how your body is moving as you breathe.
What is your body actually doing as you breathe?
Which parts of your body are moving and maybe which parts are still?
You might notice more than your belly moving.
You might also notice a slight movement in your chest as you breathe in and out.
Pay attention to any sounds as you breathe.
It may be a very small sound and see if you can tune into this now.
So gently and gradually now start to become aware of your surroundings but just when you feel ready and open your eyes taking as much time as you need.
If you like you might repeat this whole cycle again and do three big in breaths and three big out breaths and then returning to noticing what your body does when it just breathes naturally.
So either return your attention back to the rest of the room or just lie there or sit there for a few minutes just feeling and noticing your breathing,
Noticing any sounds and just noticing how you feel.
Very Indeed sterile.
Thanks for watching!
