A Quick Breath Reset

Welcome to this short breath practice to help you decompress and return a sense of peace,

Presence,

And calm into your body.

This practice is very simple.

What we're going to do is just get seated and comfortable in somewhere safe where you can be undisturbed for just three to five minutes.

Close down your outer eyes.

Bring your awareness to your breath.

What this one looks like here is it's going to be a double inhale followed by a sigh of an exhale.

All we're doing is 10 of these.

So here we go.

What it's going to sound like is breathing in through the mouth.

Two breaths fast.

Double inhale,

Big long sigh.

So here we go.

Let's do 10 of them together.

Beginning in three,

Two,

One.

Inhale sigh.

Inhale sigh.

Inhale sigh.

Inhale sigh.

Inhale let it go.

Inhale sigh.

Inhale sigh.

Inhale release.

Inhale let it go.

Inhale release.

Final breath.

Double inhale.

Pausing at the top,

Holding here for a count of 10,

Bringing your awareness into your body.

Notice the sensations that arise three,

Two,

One,

And letting it go.

Releasing control of the breath.

Your body takes one or two recovery breaths to find its natural rhythm.

Just sit with the peace and the presence of this moment to slow down,

To connect to your breath and to use it to influence your body.

Placing a hand over your chest,

Affirming to yourself that it's going to be okay right here.

You've got this,

You're capable,

Strong,

Present,

Deserving,

Worthy,

Lovable.

Deep breath in,

Deep breath out.

Moving into the next segment of your day with a little more spaciousness for presence,

For peace so that you can respond instead of react.

Big love.
