Hello and welcome to this simple technique called circular breathing.
I love this one so without further ado let's get started.
I want you to find yourself in a comfortable position where you can just keep your hands or palms up.
Allow your body to settle into a comfortable space and relax for the next couple of minutes.
Feel free to close down the eyes if that feels supportive.
Then I want you to imagine a light golden ball in the palm of your left hand and as you breathe in just watch it move to the palm of your right hand.
Breathing out we watch it jump into the crease of your right elbow and then breathing in it moves up to your right shoulder.
On the out breath it moves around the back of your neck to your left shoulder and then breathing in it lands in your left elbow crease.
Before finally breathing out it returns to the palm of your left hand.
Breathing in it goes across to the right hand,
Elbow,
Shoulder,
Shoulder,
Elbow,
Hand.
So as you can see you are gently drawing a circle around your upper body using your arms with this ball of light with your breath as the trigger point to move.
So take your time.
Breathing in it moves from the left hand to the right hand,
Out into the elbow,
Into the right shoulder,
Out behind the neck to the left shoulder,
Into the left elbow crease and out to the left palm,
Into the right palm.
And know that it is natural and normal that your mind will get distracted.
And that's okay.
Just bring it back if necessary to the palm of your left hand and then with an in-breath moving it to the palm of your right hand.
It doesn't matter how many times you have to restart your circle or how many circles you complete.
We're just staying here in the present moment.
We're anchoring the mind to the circular breathing,
Allowing your nervous system to settle,
To feel at peace just for a few moments in your day.
Go around one or two more times with your natural breath.
Knowing that it's okay to get distracted you just bring it back.
And left hand to right,
Right elbow,
Right shoulder,
Left shoulder,
Left elbow,
Left hand.
Perfect.
Allow that rhythm to stop.
Just feel into your body for a moment and then gently allow yourself to head back into your day.
Thank you so much for joining me.
I'll see you here again soon.
