Hmm all right just settle into your position and this is a two-minute mindfulness pause where you're offering yourself a brain break.

In this moment center your attention on your body.

Notice if there's any tension that arises.

Maybe it's sitting in your seat.

Maybe it's a heaviness in your chest or shoulders.

Wherever you may feel tension I'd like you to shift your awareness to your breath and as you breathe in imagine you're sending the breath,

The prana,

Into that direct area where tension is located in your body.

And as you inhale imagine the airflow,

The spaciousness.

Move into that region and just soften that tension by 1% and 2% 3% 4% 5% more spacious.

And we're going to do that again.

Breathe in.

Imagine the breath moving to the area of tension.

Now 6% 7% 8% 9% 10% more spacious.

Allow that area to soften.

And if at any moment the tension increases,

Shift your awareness to a neutral part of your body.

And we're going to inhale and exhale.

You're going to repeat,

This is okay.

I am okay.

All is okay.

And note that at any moment throughout the day you can take a pause to give your entire body the oxygen it needs to survive,

To thrive and to live.

Where you feel okay in the moment and know that no matter what arises,

We'll fall away.

And under it all there is okayness.

And you're gonna blink your eyes open,

Come back to the room.

And as you feed yourself the oxygen throughout your entire body,

You do it with the awareness that this prana,

This breath,

Is a way to connect to all beings.

May you be well.

May you be happy.

And may you be free.
