Quick Reset Breathwork Practice

This guided breathwork practice can be used anytime you're in need of a quick reset,

Some grounding.

Take your time finding a comfortable seat where you can sit with the spine tall.

This work can also be done standing up if that feels comfortable or if you don't have a seat accessible.

For this practice,

I'll be guiding you through two types of breath.

We'll take three rounds of each breath.

The first is going to be physiological sigh.

So we'll take three of the physiological sighs and then we'll follow that with three rounds of an extended exhale breath.

So the physiological sigh is two quick inhales followed by a sigh through the mouth.

So it sounds like this.

And then the extended exhale breath,

We're going to inhale to a count of four,

Pause for a count of four,

And then exhale to.

.

.

I'll count to six,

But if you can continue exhaling to even a count of seven or eight or even longer,

We really want to get all the breath out.

So we'll begin,

Like I mentioned,

With that physiological sigh.

So go ahead and just take one more round of normal natural breath in and out through the nose.

And then taking that first physiological sigh,

Inhale.

Two more.

Last one.

Good,

And then beginning with that four count,

Inhale.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Pause.

Two,

Three,

Four.

Exhale.

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five.

Six.

Inhale.

Two,

Three,

Four.

Pause.

Two,

Three,

Four.

Exhale.

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five,

Six.

Good,

Last one.

Inhale.

Two,

Three,

Four.

Pause.

Two,

Three,

Four.

Exhale.

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five,

Six.

Good,

Returning to your natural breath.

Take a moment to notice how you feel perhaps more calm in the body.

More relaxed.

The thoughts maybe have stopped racing.

Thank you for joining me for this practice.

Namaste.
