Breath Sensations

Hi there,

This is Rachel from Therapist Spills the Tea and thanks for joining me for a mindfulness moment.

This one is breath sensations.

We're going to focus on noticing our breath with deeper awareness and attunement.

Getting into a comfortable position,

I invite you to bring attention to your breath.

Inhaling and exhaling.

Inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the nose or mouth.

Playing around with this here and finding what feels comfortable to you.

And breathing at a pace and rhythm that feels most comfortable throughout this entire mini mindfulness moment.

I invite you to bring attention to your inhalation.

Noticing the air moving through your nostrils,

Along your throat,

Into your airway and noticing the chest rise.

Lungs and belly extend and expand.

Just noticing the sensations of your inhale which are often lost in the rush of life.

Bringing attention to your inhalation.

Next I invite you to bring awareness and attention to your exhalation.

Finding a sense of release with your exhale.

Noticing the air leaving your being.

The sensations you might feel on your lips or nostrils.

The belly,

Chest and lungs contracting,

Releasing.

I invite you to try deepening or lengthening your inhale and exhale.

Becoming friends with your breath.

Knowing that your breath is always with you.

Your breath is always something you can utilize.

Wrapping up,

I invite you to take a few more deep breaths here.

Thanking your breath and yourself for engaging in this mini mindfulness moment.

Expanding your breath work.

Thanks for joining me and I'll see you next time.
