Hey loves,
Thank you for making time to reconnect here and most importantly,
Thank yourself.
In this meditation,
I will share two simple techniques to calm down the system.
Deep breathing techniques have been shown to remarkably reduce the production of hormones associated with stress such as cortisol.
The first one is called count to five.
Have you ever heard someone say,
Let's take five?
It was basically meant for everyone to take a quick break from whatever they were doing.
And it's a great way to calm down.
As you breathe in,
Think one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Now breathe out and think one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Let's do it again.
Breathe in and think one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Breathe out and think one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
So whenever you're feeling anxious,
Mad,
And or upset,
Try to remember to take five.
The second technique is called the candle breath.
Now imagine you are holding a candle.
Take a long breath in and slowly blow the air out towards the candle.
You want to make the candle flame wiggle,
But don't blow it out completely.
And again,
Long breath in.
Slowly breathe out towards the candle.
Long breath in.
Slowly breathe out.
Long breath in.
Now blow the candle out.
Use these breath work techniques when you feel the need to reframe,
Calm yourself,
Center yourself and even to help you fall asleep.
This is Safe Circle.
Thank you for making time to reconnect here and most importantly,
Thank yourself.
Namaste.
