10 deep breaths.
Welcome to today's short breath practice.
I will invite you to get into a comfortable seated position or lying down.
If it's safe to do so,
Close down your outer eyes,
Bring your awareness into your body.
We're going to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Long,
Slow and controlled on the inhale and the exhale.
10 deep breaths.
Following my pace,
We're going to inhale for six,
Exhale for six.
Beginning in three,
Two,
One.
Inhale through the nose.
Six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Hovering here at the top and exhale.
Six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Hovering at the bottom.
Inhale six through the nose.
Fill the belly.
Fill the chest.
Pausing at the top and exhale.
Six,
Five.
Let your shoulders drop down.
Allow the muscles around your face and your jaw to soften.
When you reach the bottom,
Pause.
Inhale six.
Pause.
Exhale six.
Pause.
Inhale.
Pause.
Exhale.
Pause.
Inhale.
Pause.
Exhale.
Pause.
Inhale.
Pause.
Exhale.
Pause.
Two more.
Inhale through the nose.
Six,
Five,
Four.
All of your awareness on the tip of your nose where the cool air enters your body.
Pausing at the top and exhale.
Six,
Five,
Four.
Sinking completely into relaxation as your heart rate slows and your body relaxes.
Pausing at the bottom.
Final breath.
Inhale six.
One small sip in and exhale completely.
Letting go control of the breath.
Allowing your body to return to its natural rhythm.
Checking in with your energy.
Checking in with your heart.
Much love.
