Okay.
So,
I just want you to take a big deep breath in.
And release it.
And take another big deep breath in.
And release it.
And another big deep breath in.
And release it.
So,
In tonight's meditation,
We're just going to do a new breathing technique.
I don't think I've introduced you to this one before.
You may have come across,
I might have talked to you about square breathing before,
Which is basically where you just breathe in for a certain count.
You hold for a certain count.
You breathe out for a certain count.
And then you hold for a certain count.
And you can just visualize that in your mind as the breath.
It's starting at a point and you can feel the breath as you count in.
Before it goes up.
On the hold,
You move across,
Like on a horizontal line.
On the breath out,
You move down.
And then on the next breath,
Hold.
You move back across the line to that initial point that you started at.
So you're actually building a square with your breath.
As you're breathing in,
You're holding.
You're breathing out,
You're holding.
And often we'll talk about with square breathing is four by four breathing,
Where you breathe in for four,
You hold for four,
You breathe out for four,
And you hold for four.
But tonight's breath is called six,
Three,
Six,
Three breathing.
That's when you're going to breathe in for the count of six.
You hold for the count of three.
You breathe out for the count of six.
And then you hold for the count of three.
And that's all you need to do is just breathing in for six,
Holding for three,
Breathing out for six,
And holding for three.
You can just feel that square as you're building breath in and out.
Visualize that square in your mind or rectangle in your mind,
Even six,
Three,
Six,
Three.
So as I'm talking to you,
I just want you to be focusing on counting in for six,
Holding for three,
Counting out for six,
And holding for three.
And every time you feel yourself drifting,
Or your thoughts coming in,
Just keep bringing yourself back to the counting of the breath.
And when you feel like you've drifted and you've lost what you were doing,
Just start again wherever you are in your breath.
You can feel if you're on the inhale or the exhale,
And just begin the counting again.
So in for six,
Hold for three,
Out for six,
Hold for three.
When you're doing the breathing,
I want you to breathe in as deeply as you can through your nose and let that breath travel as far down as you possibly can without overexerting or straining yourself,
Holding it without it becoming uncomfortable,
And then releasing it out through your mouth,
Expelling as much of the air as you possibly can.
So what you often find when you're doing this breathing is that the breath in is a more gentle breath,
And the breath out,
It has a little bit more force behind it to make sure that you're breathing all of that stale carbon monoxide,
All of that sort of dead energy or breath or air out of your body.
So it's a gentle cleansing breath that's going in,
Moving all the way through your body,
In your bloodstream,
Through your oxygen,
Through all your organs,
Into your brain.
And it's just capturing all the stuff that needs to come out,
It's ready to come out of your body,
And it's just being expelled out with just a little bit more force than the gentle breath in.
Just remember to keep bringing yourself back to the six in,
The holding for three,
The six out,
The holding for three.
It feels really good,
Fully connected,
Really light,
Really,
Really,
Really part of this community with other beautiful souls.
Keep focusing on your breath,
Not being distracted by the thoughts,
Not needing to go there.
Six,
Three,
Six,
Three.
When you find yourself drifting,
Just bring yourself back.
Six,
Three,
Six.
It's focusing on your breath,
Nothing else to focus on.
You've got amazing energy moving through your body,
Healing you,
Cleansing you,
Getting you ready,
Creating the space,
Opening you up,
Helping you heal.
Six,
Three,
Six,
Three.
Six,
Three,
Six,
Three.
Six,
Three,
Six.
Six,
Three,
Six.
Six,
Three,
Six.
And when you're ready,
Just want you to bring yourself back into the room,
Into your body.
Such a nice peaceful feeling,
Just wriggle your toes and your legs,
Your arms,
Your hands,
Your neck,
Your head.
And when you're ready,
You can open your eyes and just bring yourself back into the room.
Six,
Three,
Six.
Six,
Three,
Six.
Six,
Three,
Six.
Six,
Three,
Six.
