Welcome to this calming breathing practice.
Ensure that you're in a comfortable position,
In a space with no distractions,
So that you can fully tune in and calm your mind,
Body,
And spirit.
Close down your eyes.
Start to tune inwards into your body and noticing your breath,
Your natural breath.
Inhaling and exhaling effortlessly.
Becoming aware of your breath.
It's the first step into breath work and conscious breathing practices.
Without judging your breath,
Just noticing where it goes in your body.
Noticing the tempo of your breath.
Noticing how it feels as you inhale and expand and how it feels when you exhale and contract.
Now that you're tuning into your breath,
You're connected to your natural breathing pattern.
We're going to slow things down and lower them into the belly.
So as you inhale,
Allow your belly to expand and as you exhale,
Just allow your belly to naturally fall.
You can bring one or both hands onto your lower abdomen to feel this gentle expansion and contraction with each breath.
Allowing the breath to expand your belly,
Not pushing or forcing.
It's all with ease.
We're just bringing the awareness and focus into allowing the breath to expand the full abdomen on the inhale and then letting it fall on the exhale.
Sometimes we're stuck breathing really shallowly up to the chest and the shoulders.
Now we're just focusing on allowing that expansion and breath to flow down into the belly.
Breathing in and out through your nose if it's possible for you to do that.
We're going to inhale and exhale for six counts.
So join me when you're ready.
Nice easy breaths in and out through the nose.
We're going to inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhaling through the nose and exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
One more breath.
Inhaling slowly and exhaling slowly and then returning to your natural breath.
Letting the air flow in and out of your nose naturally with ease.
Taking a minute to notice how you feel after five minutes of this conscious breathing practice.
When you're ready you can slowly awaken back into the room and go about your day or drift off to sleep.
I hope you enjoyed this practice and have a beautiful day.
