Good morning,
This is Luke,
The Breath Architect,
And today's theme is nature.
Your connection to the natural world around you,
And the natural world within you.
Nature is the intelligence that guides every living thing to open,
Grow,
Adapt,
And restore.
This morning,
Before anything begins,
You have a moment to return to that intelligence,
To reconnect with your eternal landscape.
Let's begin our practice.
Settle into a comfortable seat,
Spine long,
Feet grounded,
Hands resting softly on your lap.
Let your gaze soften,
And gently close your eyes.
Before sunlight touches your skin,
A movement begins.
You meet your breath.
You meet your nature.
Notice your inhale,
And your exhale right now.
Just awareness.
Feel the temperature of the air as it enters.
Feel your body soften as it leaves.
Take a slow breath in through the nose,
And exhale through the mouth.
Inhale,
And exhale,
Loosening the shoulders.
Fully in,
And fully out.
Inhaling fully,
Inflating your belly,
Your chest.
Exhale slowly,
Blowing out all the air.
Last breath in,
And release.
And now,
Let your body arrive to this moment.
We are now going to start with some activation.
You're going to inhale through the nose for two seconds,
And exhale through the mouth with a little bit more force for one second,
For a total of 30 cycles.
And after,
We'll go for a breath hold.
Are you ready?
In three,
Two,
One.
In through your nose for two seconds,
And out.
Two,
And three,
Four,
Six,
Seven,
Nine,
Ten,
11,
12,
13,
14,
15,
16,
17,
18,
19,
20,
21,
22,
23,
24,
25,
26,
27,
28,
29,
30,
And exhale fully,
Empty completely,
And hold.
We're gonna hold here for 30 seconds,
Or as long as your body allows.
And slowly but truly,
Let your breathing return to its natural rhythm.
Feel the clarity,
And maybe some spaciousness.
Just be here now.
And I invite you to take an intentional and full breath in through the nose,
All the way down,
Fully expanding,
And then letting it all go.
And while we're here,
Ask yourself quietly,
How do you want to move through today?
Let your inhale expand the intention.
And let your exhale anchor it.
Now we're going to move into a quick session of box breathing to bring in some focus.
You're going to inhale for four seconds,
Hold for four,
Out for four,
And hold for four.
And in three,
Two,
One,
And in,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Hold for four.
Two,
Three,
Four,
Out,
Three,
Two,
One,
Hold,
Three,
Two,
One.
In.
In.
Hold.
Hold.
Feeling that balance settle through your system.
Just a few more cycles at your own pace.
As you finish your final round,
Let the breath return to a relaxed,
Natural rhythm.
Invite gentle movement into your hands,
Shoulders,
And neck.
Lift your awareness and open your eyes when you're ready.
Carry this grounded clarity into your day.
The music will continue for a few more moments.
Use the space to lock in your intentions.
Write down what matters,
What you're choosing,
And how you want to show up.
And when you feel ready,
Take off your headphones and begin your day.
Welcome to your morning.
