Easy Breathwork For Stress Relief

Welcome beautiful being.

I would like to provide you with a tool that is yours to use anytime you are feeling anxiety,

Overwhelmed,

Or stressed.

This evidence based technique is one I love to recommend to friends and clients as I've seen it firsthand provide instant relief.

The breath work is called 4-7-8 developed by Dr.

Andrew Weil.

Breathe in for four,

Hold for seven,

Exhale for eight.

And this exhale is going to be a little bit different.

It will be audible and forced,

Maybe even releasing a nice sigh as you release.

In a moment you will use your breath to lower your heart rate,

Bring ease to the nervous system,

Calming the mind and body.

Alright,

Let's give it a try.

Relaxing your shoulders now,

Soften the space between your eyebrows,

Relax your jaw,

Allow yourself to simply melt into this moment knowing that every breath you take brings you closer to finding equanimity.

Ready now,

Taking a deep inhale,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Hold,

Two,

Three,

Five,

Six,

Seven,

Exhale,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five,

Six,

And one last time,
