In this practice,
We'll use resonant breathing,
A slow,
Even rhythm that helps your nervous system find balance.
This breath brings the heart,
Lungs,
And mind into harmony.
It's simple,
Gentle,
And surprisingly powerful.
You can do it walking,
Sitting,
Or anywhere you need calm.
Let's begin.
Start by noticing your natural breath without changing anything.
Feel the air as it moves in and moves out.
Now,
We'll shift into a slow,
Steady pattern,
Inhaling for a count of five and exhaling for a count of five.
Let's do this together.
Inhale two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Inhale,
Exhale two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Again,
Inhale two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Inhale,
Exhale two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Let the breath settle into a smooth loop,
Like a tide rolling in and rolling out.
Continue on your own for a few rounds,
Easy,
Steady,
Even.
If the mind wanders,
Return to the rhythm.
The breath is your anchor.
Let's take two more cycles together.
Inhale two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Exhale two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Last one.
Inhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Feel the calm that comes from steady rhythm.
Feel the body softening.
Feel your presence,
Right here.
