This breath work is best done seated with a long spine.
You can be cross-legged or in a chair with your feet firmly planted on the ground.
This breath practice helps regulate the nervous system and is excellent for those with ADHD.
It'll bring some focus,
Clarity and motivation.
This is an eight part breath alternating between mouth and nose for the eight parts,
Breathing both in and out and holding at the top for as long as you're able or is comfortable.
This is a breath where you are doing small sips through the nose and then the mouth,
So alternating.
So you're doing nose for eight parts,
Holding at the top,
Then breathing out through nose and mouth,
Alternating small sips and so forth.
So let's begin.
Closing your eyes and just taking a moment to feel into the body.
Feel if there's any tension,
Aches or pains.
Feel into the mind.
Is it focused?
Is it scattered?
Is it racing with thoughts?
Do this without judgment.
We're just feeling into the body.
We'll begin in through the nose,
Mouth,
Nose,

Mouth and hold.
And out through the nose,

And repeating in nose,
Mouth,

You're then going to repeat this again.
We're breathing in nose,
Mouth,
Nose,

Breathing out nose,
Mouth,
Nose,
Mouth and you're going to repeat this again for the next two minutes at your own pace.
Doing the last round now and taking a deep breath in fully and expansive and breathing out through the mouth.
And coming back to a normal breath.
Taking a moment to feel into your body.
What has changed?
How do you feel?
How do you feel now compared to when you started?
