Hello and welcome to this nighttime breathwork recording.
This session is going to be perfect for those nights when your mind is wandering,
Maybe running a little bit faster,
Finding it a little bit harder to settle in,
Fully relaxing.
So we are going to start with a pulse breath pattern.
This is going to be a slow,
Deep pulse.
Two inhales through the nose,
Two exhales through the mouth.
And this can be done seated or lying down,
Eyes closed.
Ideally you are ready to just drift right off into sleep as we do this session.
So getting yourself settled,
We'll be doing two rounds of this pulse breath pattern.
In between we will be doing some deep cleansing breaths,
Which are just deep inhales and exhales.
So the pulse breath that we are going to start with whenever you are ready will sound something like this.
You need your own depth with this breath pattern,
Not having to match mine.
But using this pattern with a little bit of activation to help settle the mind,
Focus on those sensations of the inhale and exhale.
Really come into this present moment,
Coming in and connecting to your body.
Letting your body guide you,
Focusing on the sensations as you inhale and exhale,
Noticing the rise and fall of your chest.
Exhale,
Feeling your shoulders relax a little bit further,
Feeling your hips a little bit heavier in the bed below you.
Whenever you are ready,
Releasing into those cleansing breaths and moving into that second round of pulse breathing.
Really focusing on a full exhale,
Really emptying out.
And as you soften that breath back into your natural breath pattern,
Just gently breathing in and out.
Noticing the sensations in your body,
Noticing the weight of your head on your pillow,
Noticing the relaxation and softness in your shoulders and neck.
On your next exhale,
Feeling your shoulders drop a little bit further,
Relaxing a little bit more.
Feeling your hips sink further and deeper into your bed.
Feeling your eyelids get heavy as your mind softens.
A heaviness of your arms and legs.
