Welcome to this guided breath work meditation.
My name is yogi Brian.
Find your comfortable spot.
Laying down on your back.
You can lay down on a yoga mat,
A blanket.
Make sure you're comfortable.
Body is in a straight line.
Slight bend in the knees.
Palms either facing down or facing up.
And maybe some support behind your head.
And maybe some support behind your knees.
Find your place.
So your body can remain still.
And once you're there.
Awareness to the breath.
And you'll start with your natural breath.
Either in and out through the nose.
Or in and out through the mouth.
Nothing to do or control with this breath.
Your natural breath.
Your natural breath.
Just breathe.
Now place one hand on the belly and one hand on the heart.
So you can feel your breath.
You feel the belly rise and fall.
And you feel your heartbeat.
Coming back to the present moment.
Arriving.
Here.
Now.
Breathing in the moment.
Really feeling that inhale.
And the exhale.
And you'll notice your body starting to relax.
But nothing to do or control.
Not yet,
But in just a moment.
We're going to inhale a four count.
And on the exhale a five count.
So we'll slow the breath down on the exhale.
As we're going to inhale.
And on the exhale.
A five count.
So we'll slow the breath down on the exhale.
This is a grounding breathing technique.
That gets your mind back to the present moment.
That grounds your body into the earth.
Feeling rooted.
Feeling connected in your space.
So exhale all the air out of your body.
Let's start.
Close the mouth,
Inhale through the nose,
Four count.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Exhale out the nose,
Keep the mouth closed.

Five.
Inhale.

Exhale.
