This is the meditation we want to invite you to slow down. And just breathe. The breath is healing. It is a way that we get to really connect with our true nature. See, We cannot breathe in the past or the future. We can only breathe in the now moment. So during this time, Give yourself permission just to heal and love yourself. Here at Anatomy of Love. We are all about healing. And finding our true nature. So if you're ready to breathe, Let's do it. Right where you are, I just want you to get comfortable. Get seated, Maybe even lie down. But I want you to be in a place where your body's not hindering your meditation. This is a breathing meditation, So it's all about being mindful. I'm gonna take you through. Four practices of breathing that you can incorporate throughout any time of your day. Quite close your eyes. And just be. The first round of breathing is all about awareness. That's very sad. Be aware of when you're breathing in. And when you're breathing out. So let's do it. Take a deep breath into our nostrils. Big inhale. Notice how you feel when the breath is entering into your body. Inhale as much air as you can. Hold on the very top. And let it go. Big exhale, Let go. Return back to your normal being. I'll see you there again. Take a deep breath in through our nostrils, Big inhale. Hold the breath at the very top. And then exhale, Let go. Notice what you're feeling when the breath and the prana comes within you. Let's do that again. One last time. Take a deep breath in. Get as much air as you can into your whole entire body. Breathe in, Breathe in, Breathe in, Breathe in, Breathe in. Hold at the very top. And the exhale, Let go. Now we take time and space to just connect with one another. What did you feel when you were reading? What did you feel when you were exhaling? What energy and vibration. That you feel when you are giving yourself permission to be nice and slow and to slow down. I'll see you then again. Away with the breath. And help through your emotions to get deeper at that. Beginning. And hold the breath at the very top. And let the whole turn body's cells regulate. Big exhale, Release, Let go. Let's do that again. Deep breath in, Breathe in, Breathe in, Breathe in, Breathe in. All the breath you can take in, Maybe get a little bit more breath in, Hold at the very top. Let's go with red. And one more time to get deeper than through our nostrils. Last one. Inhale, Inhale, Full breath, Build up. Build the product, Build the energy, Hold the breath at the very top. Allow each and every cell to regulate. Please let go. The second Pralayama that I'm going to do is called Lost Meaning. It comes from Shikoku. And it brought thought to breathing. In the box breathing it's all about. Having a consistent breath in and out. Consistent breath holding at the very top. Consistent breath breathing out. Consistent breath of staying empty. Box Breathing. It's all about being consistent, Breathing in and out. Insistently holding the breath at the very top. Exhaling the breath out. And sing in a deep and sweet melody of time. The count we'll use for this rep is four. Still going. Take a deep breath into the nostrils for one. Too. Now hold the breath at the very top for four counts. One, Two, Three, Four.

Remembering the breath is all about breathing and recognizing that you're breathing. Some days we go throughout the whole day and not recognizing that we're breathing. But when we add in the mindfulness, It becomes more effective for our life. This next practice, We call it three-part breathing. It's very simple. Think about when you breathe in. Sometimes you breathe in from the belly and that's it. I'm going to invite us to take a second breath in right around the chest area. And then I'm gonna ask you for a third one to breathe all the way up to the very top of the crown chakra. Top of your head. So we breathe in shallow breathing. Deep breathing. Deeper breathing. Are you ready to try? Let's do this. All right, So here's what I want you to do. Let's empty out the breath first. Take a deep breath in. Empty out all the breath, Let go. Now breathe in right to the belly, Breathe in. And hold it at the belly, Hold it right there. Now take in a little bit more air. Breathe in into your chest area, Right into the neck. Hold your breath there. Now breathe a little bit more all the way up to the ground chakra right above your head. Breathe in. And a full let go, Let go. All three part breathing teaches us that we can breathe deeper and deeper and deeper. Let's do it again. Let's breathe in, Take a deep breath in first, And then fully exhale, Empty out all the breath. Yes. Now, Breathe in right from the belly. Breathe in all the way up and hold it at the belly. Hold it right there. Hold it. Yes. Now, Breathe in again all the way up into the chest area. Get a little bit more air in. Hold your breath there. Now, Breathe in as much air as you can get all the way to the top of the head and above. Hold it. And release, Let go! Notice how you're feeling when we're getting deeper and deeper in the breath. Let's do one more. Ready? Let's do it. Inhale right into the belly. Inhale, Inhale, Inhale. Hold it right here at the belly. Get a little breath in. Now breathe in, Breathe in, Breathe into the chest area. We're getting deeper and deeper and deeper. Breathe in. Hold it. Now breathe in, Always the very top of the head, Breathe in, Get a little bit more air in. Big exhale, Let go. We really are. Yes, We're breathing. Okay, So we have one more. Hanayama practice. It is simply breathing in a way that we are using mantras. We're going to breathe in a mantra? And exhale the mantra. Huh! So we have one more. We have one more breathing practice to do. One more pranayama. This is about mantras. We get to breathe in a mantra and exhale the mantra. The greatest mantra we have is I am. And whatever you put behind the I am is our truth. So today when we breathe, We're only going to breathe in the truth. The I am and exhale the truth. Love. Easy, Right? Let's breathe in together, Take a deep breath in, Breathe in I am, Breathe in the I am. And exhale love. You can even say it to yourself, Breathe an I am, An am. Exhale loud. Read the IM. I'd so love. In who I am. And love exhale. You have your rhythm, Let's do it together. Inhale, I am. Excella I am? Love. I am? Wow! I am. Wow! One more time, I am. Love. Return back to your normal breathing. If your eyes are closed, You open up your eyes, Come back into the space. I am so grateful that you said yes to the breathing meditation.
