Hello everyone and welcome welcome.
I am Tramaine and today I'm going to be guiding you through a quick breathing exercise.
This breathing technique has been around for many centuries and has been used to relieve anxiety,
Aid in sleep,
And promote relaxation.
This practice requires a slow deep inhalation through the nose for four counts,
Holding the breath for seven counts,
And then releasing the breath with control for a steady of eight counts.
Whether you're seated or laying down,
Take a gentle body scan of self and adjust in any way necessary,
Getting yourself more comfortable here.
Let's first begin by emptying out our lungs by taking a few deep breaths.
Inhaling through the nose,
Exhale through the nose.
Inhale,
Exhale.
One last time,
Inhale.

Breathe naturally here.
Take inventory of the body.
Notice how you feel.
Notice the rhythm of the breath and the quality of your thoughts,
Your mood and energy.
Allow this practice to be a staple for you daily,
Weekly,
When tired,
And giving the body exactly what it needs,
A breath and body connection.
Thank you so much for practicing with me.
Namaste.
