Hey there.
Let's start the day the natural way with your breath.
So take a deep breath in through your nose,
All the way up and exhale slowly,
Letting your body soften,
Dropping into the present moment and continue breathing deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Allow the outside world to fade for a moment.
Forget the tasks ahead and just be here,
Fully present and fully alive.
For the next five minutes,
This is your time.
The practice will begin with 30 breaths of fire,
Quick rhythmic inhales and exhales through the nose,
The exhales being somewhat forceful.
Then we'll slow things down with 30 seconds of calming box breathing.
And finally,
We'll seal the practice with one slow,
Deep turtle breath,
A long inhale and a long exhale.
So let's begin with our 30 breaths of fire in three,
Two,
One,
Begin.
In through the nose,
Forcing it out,
In through the nose,
Forcing it out.
You're doing great.
Keep on breathing.
That's 15,
Halfway there.
This is 27,
28,
29,
30.
Perfect.
Now let your breath return to its natural rhythm for just a moment.
And we'll begin box breathing in three,
Two,
One.
Breathing in through the nose for one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
And holding two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Letting go two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
And holding two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Breathing in two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
And holding two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
And let it go.
Let the shoulders drop.
Relax your body.
Again,
Returning to a natural breath for just a moment.
And on the next exhale,
Exhale all of the air out to the bottom to prepare for turtle breath.
And we'll begin taking a very slow and long breath in,
In three,
Two,
One.
Breathing in consciously and slowly,
Minding our pacing so we can last for the whole 20 seconds.
Slowly filling up and being aware of your body being present in the moment.
And when you reach the top,
Beginning to exhale slowly,
Slowly for about a 20 second exhale.
You can exhale even longer if it's possible for you.
For the exhale breath is the breath of relaxation and is so,
So good for our body.
Nice work.
Take a moment to notice how you feel.
Notice any warmth or energy or clarity that is now present in your body and mind.
This is the power of your breath.
Always available,
Always there with you.
Carry this feeling with you into the rest of your day.
Thanks for breathing with me and I'll see you in the next one.
