All right,
Are you ready to feel uplifted?
The breath has a remarkable and powerful capacity to change our mood simply by changing our pattern of breath.
In this session,
I'm going to introduce you to one of my favorite ways of breathing,
The triple breath.
Now,
This one can be done lying down or sitting up,
Doesn't really matter too much.
I just want the diaphragm to be open,
So I'm going to leave it up to you,
Meditator's choice.
Whatever position you choose though,
I want you to go there now.
Get comfortable,
Get relaxed,
And get focused.
The main thing I want you to focus on right now is the belly button,
And just noticing how it goes up and down with each one of your breaths.
Now it's essential for today's session that we're breathing into this area,
Nowhere else,
Straight in here.
The belly should be moving up and down with the breath.
To make sure that's happening,
I want you to place both hands on the belly now.
Feel that expanse on the inhale,
And that contraction on the exhale.
Always a good resting place for your breath and for your mind at any time.
Now,
As you're just getting acquainted with your breath there,
I want to explain today's session in a bit more detail.
Now,
It's known as the triple breath,
Although strictly there's four parts to it.
It's just three inhales,
And the pattern will be like this.
It'll be in,
In,
In,
Out,
In,
In,
In,
Out.
Simple as that.
We're going to have a few variations of this breathing pattern,
And you can see today's session as a little introduction to that.
This is your little triple breath boost,
If you will.
So to start with,
I want you to be breathing in and out through the nostrils.
You may be doing that already,
That's cool,
But that's how I want us to do the first pattern of triple breath.
All in through the nose,
All out through the nose.
Just to remind you,
It'll be in,
In,
In,
Out,
And then afterwards,
We'll double the speed.
So we'll start slow.
I'm going to give you the pace,
So stick with me.
You ready?
Wherever you are in your breath pattern,
Breathe out now,
And let's go together.

One more version.
Single speed,
Then double speed.
This time we'll do breathing in through the nose,
Exhaling through the mouth.
