Welcome to this meditation,
The breathing technique designed to enhance focus,
Created by Wim Hof.
This is an excellent replacement for a cup of coffee.
This breathing technique can help you increase your focus,
Higher confidence,
Improved clarity.
It's a great way to clear the mind.
You can practice this seated,
Leaning against a wall,
Or lying down.
I highly encourage you to experiment with both and see which position works best for you.
Creating a comfortable position,
Lying down or seated,
Feel into your body,
Feeling as your body is contacting the surface beneath you,
Settling in just for a moment.
This breathing technique is an intense inhale and a relaxed exhale.
You're inhaling through the belly and then the chest and then letting it all go.
As you practice this breath,
Imagine the rhythm of the ocean tide.
Imagine as the waves crash onto the shore and then retreat back to sea,
Repeating endlessly.
We will be practicing 30 breaths with a top hold at the last breath.
However,
You are always welcome to breathe more breaths,
Less breaths,
Faster,
Slower.
Just feel into what works best for you.
This is completely up to you.
The tempo I am guiding is just a suggestion.
So beginning our 30 breaths with a deep inhale and letting it all go.
Inhaling deeply,
Let it all go.
Creating a circular breath without pause at the top or bottom.
Feeling your lungs expand more and more with each inhale.
Inhaling so deeply that you feel your lungs stretch just a bit more each time.
Right now you are changing the chemistry of your body and you might start to feel the tingles from more oxygen pumping through your blood.
Just focusing on your breath.
Inhaling deeper than the last.
We will do five more.
Three.
Two.
One.
Tuning into the beating of your heart,
Thinking of nothing else.
Your body might be telling you to breathe.
Swallow the urge and just let it be.
There's nothing to do.
There's nowhere to be.
Just feel that heartbeat.
Becoming fully present with your body.
Reminding your body that you are perfectly safe and in control.
Gently push the edge of what you feel you are capable of in order to strengthen your will.
Soaking in the new sensations of having this fresh oxygen pumping through your veins.
And finally inhaling when you feel you are ready.
And that's it.
That's the technique.
I encourage you to do as many sessions as you feel.
And you can do this at any time.
This really only takes five minutes and it's a world of difference how you can feel before and after.
Thank you for joining me in this meditation.
Until next time.
Blessings on your journey.
