Settle into stillness with this mindful breathwork that helps you set yourself for the day ahead.
Find a comfortable seat wherever you are,
Whether you're lying on bed,
Sitting on a couch,
On a chair.
Notice your surroundings.
If your surroundings is a bit noisy,
Make sure you find somewhere where you can soften,
Somewhere you feel relaxed,
Comfortable and aware.
Let's begin.
Wherever you are,
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
Exhale it through your mouth.
You may start to notice the air coming in through your nose and as you exhale,
Gently,
Your air is more warm.
Bringing awareness to that.
Any sounds,
Smell,
Sensation.
Be aware.
What we're going to begin to do is take mindful breaths in while still being aware of our surroundings.
Gently close your eyes.
Start taking a few breaths in through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
Deep breath in,
Exhaling out.
Gently start to notice how your body,
Nervous system begin to relax.
As you're following your breath,
Bring your awareness to your heart.
What would you like to receive?
What would you like to know?
Just observe.
Any thoughts?
Any worries?
Visualize how it begins to melt away as you breathe and as you let your air out.
Something perhaps softens and something feels lighter than it used to be.
Continue with the inhales and exhales.
Start to notice how that feels.
It's ok to let the thought come in,
Just let it move out.
On your last breath in,
You can hold it for 5,
4,
3,
2,
1,
Release.
Allow yourself to come back to the present moment,
Wherever you are.
Use this practice to start your day and notice the difference in your body.
Take care.
I'll see you next time.
Much love.
