Welcome.
If you are here you probably need to take a few deep breaths to ease the stress and anxiety that's creeping into your life.
Today we're gonna practice cyclic breathing that has been proven to quickly reduce stress,
Anxiety or panic attacks.
During this meditation I'm gonna guide you to relax,
To let go and to know that you are safe,
That this moment is safe.
Cycling breathing consists of two parts.
First part is inhale.
You're gonna inhale with your full lungs then you're gonna inhale a little bit more.
On the exhale you're gonna breathe out through your mouth really slow as if you are breathing through a straw for more than eight seconds.
So let's try this together.
Breathe in,
Breathe in deep,
Deep,
Deep,
Deep.
Expand your lungs and then breathe in a little bit more and exhale through your mouth slowly,
Slowly,
Slowly as if you're breathing out through your straw.
Breathe out,
Breathe out,
Let go,
Let go,
Let go,
Let go.
Empty,
Empty,
Empty,
Empty,
Empty.
Breathe in,
Fill up your lungs,
Expand your lungs,
Breathe in,
Breathe in,
Then breathe in a little bit more and exhale real slow,
Slow,
Slow and drop and empty and empty and empty and empty.
Continue breathing like this and rest assured that in this moment you are safe.
This moment is safe.
If your mind is bringing in thoughts that are causing you anxiety,
Panic attacks or stress,
Just as you would observe clouds,
Observe your thoughts.
You don't need to attach yourself to them.
Observe them,
Let them come and go.
That's what mind does.
Mind likes to think,
Mind likes to exaggerate,
Mind likes to panic.
But you do not need to attach yourself to those thoughts.
You can choose to shift your focus onto your breathing.
So you're breathing in deeply,
Deeply,
Deeply,
Deeply and then you breathe in a little bit more.
It doesn't matter if your shoulders are going up,
Just relax them as you are exhaling and exhaling and exhaling and going down and down and down and down and empty,
Empty,
Empty,
Empty.
And breathe in and breathe in a little bit more and then exhale as you're exhaling through a straw and breathe out,
Out,
Slowly,
Slowly,
Slowly.
It feels good to let go.
Feels so good to let go and to know that you have a choice.
You do not need to detach yourself to your thoughts.
Instead,
As you're breathing out and going deep and deep and deep down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
You're choosing to drop into your inner galaxy where there is warmth,
There is safety.
That's where your soul lives and your soul knows which way you need to go.
Your soul knows how to relax you.
So this cyclic breathing really helps real quick to shift from your systematic to parasystematic nervous system.
So systematic is responsible for stress and we do need stress in certain situations.
But the problem arises when we are in the systematic nervous system for a prolonged period of time.
So we want to switch to parasystematic nervous system that's responsible to relax you,
To calm you down.
And this cyclic breathing of breathing in,
Breathing in and then taking another breath and slowly breathing out as you're breathing out through a straw and dropping,
Dropping,
Dropping,
Dropping,
Dropping,
Dropping into your body helps switch quickly from sympathetic to parasympathetic.
And now you're consciously deciding to stay,
To drop into your body,
To ground,
To stay in this beautiful inner galaxy that's inside of you,
Around you and you drop,
You drop,
You drop deep,
Deep,
Deep.
And you stay there and it's peaceful.
And you resume your normal breathing and you stay there in this beautiful darkness,
In this galaxy that's you,
That's your soul.
And you stay there as long as you need.
