Good morning.
Take a moment to rise up,
Finding and settling into a comfortable seat with a straight spine.
Keeping your eyes closed,
Place your right hand on your belly and your left hand on your chest.
Taking one big energizing inhale through the nose,
Open your mouth and exhale.
Just coming to your natural breath here,
Finding stillness.
We're going to focus on breathing into the belly.
On your next inhale,
Breathe in through the nose,
Drawing the air into the bottom of your lungs.
Feel your belly expand,
Gently exhale all the air out,
Drawing the belly toward your spine and pushing out any residual air from the bottom of the lungs.
Inhale deeply into your belly,
Feel it rise beneath your right hand,
Exhale feeling the belly soften as you let go and create space for new energy.
Continue to watch your breath as you fill up and as you exhale,
Releasing any tension or worry or thoughts that aren't serving you.
There's no need to force the breath here,
Just steady inhalations and exhalations.
If your mind starts to wander,
Bring your attention back to the breath,
You can also add a count to your breath by inhaling for one,
For two,
For three,
For four and exhale for four,
For three,
For two,
For one.
Breathing on your own now,
Inhale and exhale.
This even breathing pattern is both soothing for the mind and the body,
Tapping into the parasympathetic nervous system.
Continue with your own breath,
Adjusting the count as needed.
Keep going.
Epidemic cotton swab By tuning into the energy of the morning,
It can help you set the tone for your entire day.
Even just five minutes of mindful breathing can leave you feeling energized and refreshed.
Inhale,
Extend your arms up over your head,
Coming into a big stretch.
On the exhale,
Bring your hands together,
Meeting in a prayer position at your heart.
Thank yourself for dedicating this time to yourself,
Your health,
And your well-being.
Namaste.
