And then release the breath.

And just for a few moments allow your breath to come back to a natural rhythm.

And just take some time just to notice the imprint of that breath.

Just feeling the subtle shifts and changes that have taken place in your physiology,

In your body,

In the state of your breath,

In the fluctuations of your mind.

Just simply notice.

Observe what is there.

And then taking a little bit of time if it's available to you just to rest and relax.

Otherwise continuing on with the rest of your day with a greater sense of calm and presence.
