Hi there,

This is Rachel from Therapist Spills the Tea,

And thanks for joining me for a mindfulness moment.

This one is Your Friend,

The Breath.

I invite you to find yourself in a comfortable position,

Allowing yourself to relax into your seat or ground which supports your body,

Gently closing your eyes and getting into a rhythm with your breath.

For this mindfulness moment,

We will focus on our friend,

The breath,

Breathing in and breathing out,

Taking a few deep breaths here,

Knowing that your breath is always with you,

Is always your companion wherever you may be within the physical world,

Knowing that you are never alone,

You have your friend,

The breath,

Something you may always utilize.

Continuing with your inhale and exhale throughout this entire mindfulness moment,

Breathing in and breathing out,

Offering a moment of gratitude for your breath,

Your friend,

Your companion always,

Just inhaling and exhaling at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

Recognizing and incorporating into your awareness that your breath is a friend you can always call on,

A friend to help you regulate the body and your nervous system.

Your breath is always there,

Just breathing in and breathing out,

Taking a few more deep breaths and getting in tune with your friend,

Inhaling and exhaling,

I invite you to gently open your eyes and come back into the space around you,

And throughout the rest of your day,

Call on your friend,

Using your friend,

The breath,

When you may need.

Thanks for joining me and I'll see you next time.

Namaste.
