For bite-sized breathing today,
We're going to practice five minutes of box breathing.
We'll just begin with some deeper belly breathing,
Breathing in and out through the nose,
Encouraging that expansion of the belly on the inhale,
Drawing it back in on the exhale.
And we'll start to move into our four-second box breath,
Just gathering yourself and then we'll begin with a four-second inhale,

We're coming up to five minutes now so you can start to let go of that control of your breath,
Allowing your breath to return back to its natural rhythm and just observing that process and remaining aware of your breath.
And if you want to stay in this stillness for a little longer,
Please feel free to do so,
Otherwise coming out of your practice whenever you feel ready.
