This breath routine is great to do if you get a little stressed out traveling to unwind,

Clear the mind,

And undo any stress.

You can do it before you get out during the day,

Maybe you're on a flight.

So we're just going to lay back,

Close our eyes,

Just let the breath move in through the nose,

Out through the nose,

As we start.

I want you to picture a whiteboard in your head,

Any troubling,

Worrying thoughts that pop up.

I want you just to put them on the whiteboard and with each exhale,

Just wipe it away.

Some more thoughts come up,

Just put them on the whiteboard and just wipe it away as you exhale.

I want you to begin to breathe in through the nose,

Out through the nose,

Letting the belly expand as you breathe in,

Fall as you breathe out.

In through the nose,

And out through the nose.

Now we're going to go ahead and exhale.

We're going to breathe in for four,

Three,

Two,

One.

Out for four,

Let the jaw relax.

We're going to exhale through the nose for five.

Big breath in,

And hold.

Keep holding.

When we let this breath go,

We're going to go out for six.

Exhale for six,

Continue that on your own.

In for four,

Hold for four,

And out for eight.

Breathing in through the nose.

On the exhale,

Keep it out of the nose or you can use that nice slow pursed lips exhale.

You can also try hissing it through your teeth or even humming the exhale out.

Do whatever your body needs right now.

If you're ready,

You can start expanding it out even further.

Maybe you go in for five,

Hold for five,

Out for eight,

And hold for three.

Just let your breath take you where it needs to go.

Breathing in,

Holding until you're ready to let that breath go and letting it go nice and slow.

Maybe even doze off as you're doing this and that's okay.

I'm gonna leave you here but you can keep doing this as long as you like.

Just breathing in,

Holding,

Nice slow breath out.
