Welcome to this meditation recording.
I'm Victoria Gallagher.
Please listen to this session only when you're in a safe place where you will not be disturbed.
I'll be guiding you into a pleasant state of relaxation.
Equal ratio breathing is a form of breathing that stems from the ancient practice of pranayama yoga.
The type of breathing you'll be doing is pretty self-explanatory in the title itself.
In equal breathing,
You will be inhaling for the same amount of time as you're exhaling.
You can do this while sitting or lying down,
Whichever position you prefer.
You can do this with your eyes opened or closed.
Again,
Whichever works best for you and helps you to relax.
For this session,
You'll be inhaling for the count of four and exhaling for the count of four as well.
Pretty simple,
Right?
Before we begin,
I'd like to go over a couple of the benefits you will receive by practicing equal ratio breathing on a regular basis.
When we practice deep breathing,
It helps us to train our mind and our body on how to slow down,
Relax,
And take in more oxygen.
Some of the benefits of equal breathing include increased oxygen intake,
More even blood flow,
And the ability to focus better.
You'll release endorphins,
Which are the feel-good chemicals that help you to manage stress and anxiety,
And ultimately,
You will enhance the quality of your life.
So let's go ahead and do that now.
Close your eyes.
Begin simply noticing your natural breathing pattern as it is right now for the next few breaths.
In a moment,
I'll slowly count 1,
2,
3,
4 as you inhale through your nose,
And then I'll slowly count again as you exhale for the same four-second count.
I'll continue the count for you so that it's easier for you to keep your inhale and exhale the same.
Ready?
Let's begin.

Now that we've done eight sets of breathing in and out to the count of four,
Let's increase it by half.
So this time you'll breathe in and out equally to the count of six,
And we'll do that eight times.
And then we'll do one final round of eight breathing in and out to the count of eight.

And we will now be bringing this breathing meditation to a close.
Remember,
Each time you come back to this practice,
You are learning to improve your focus,
Increase your lung capacity,
And overall enhancing the quality of your life.
Now,
Just return to normal breathing,
Take a couple normal deep breaths,
And feel how powerful you are.
You are a powerful manifester.
Have a wonderful day or evening,
Wherever you are.
Happy Manifesting!
