Hi there, I'm Yosra. This is your 10-minute Breathe for Clarity practice. Let's begin by settling into a comfortable seat or you can lay down. Really find yourself in any comfortable position, Letting your sit bones or back make contact with the earth or any other setting that supports your practice. If you have any props you'd like to use like pillows, Blankets, Feel free to use them. Let yourself settle in. Settling into the space, Looking around the space you're in, Taking it in even if it's familiar to you and just simply noticing what the eyes might choose to land on. Looking around and when you're ready letting your eyes settle, Your gaze settle at one spot or perhaps letting the eyes come to a close. Taking a breath in and breathing out. Continuing just like that in and out with your natural breath. Simply just noticing, Acknowledging, Inviting the breath in without changing the breath quite yet. Can we just sit with it and where we're at? We breathe in and out about 22, 000 times per day. 22, 000! But how often do we take intentional breaths? Just notice what our breath is doing throughout the day. In these 22, 000 times do we try and focus on that breath? Today we'll explore some intentional breathing. You know you can follow along or you can make it your own. We'll start by just continuing with that natural breath. Take a big breath in, Big breath out. Good. One more time. Good. And after this last exhale start to breathe in through your nose, Letting that breath come in behind your navel, Filling the abdomen. And exhale, Let it go. Good. Inhale again just like that into the abdomen and exhale let it go. Good. One more time just like that. Inhale into the belly, Exhale release. Good. This time we'll breathe into the chest. Inhale through your nose, Sending that breath into the chest and exhale release. Good. One more time. Inhale into the chest, Exhale release. Good. This time starting that breath in the belly and bringing it up to the chest. Inhale halfway into the belly, Bring it up halfway into your chest, Filling to the top and exhale let it go. Releasing from the chest, Releasing from the belly. Good. Once again, Inhale belly, Inhale chest for the other 50 percent and exhale let it go. Good. Let's do it one more time. Inhale, Filling up to the top, Exhale release from your chest, From your belly. Good. Inhale one more time through your nose, Exhale let it go. Taking one more big breath in, Big breath out. One more time. Big inhale, Exhale let it go. Relaxing shoulders, Relaxing jaw. Good. Just settle in. We'll find that breath cycle once again. This time, Option to add a slight hold to the bottom but we'll start from the beginning and I'll guide you in. Inhale through your nose, Exhale. Good. Inhale into your belly, Bring it up through your chest, Exhale release chest, Release belly. Holding at the bottom for four, Three, Two, One. Inhale into belly, Chest, Exhale and hold. Inhale, Exhale. Holding at the bottom and keep going just like that. Holding at the bottom of your exhale. Good. Last breath cycle here and at the end of this breath cycle, Start to draw one big breath in through your nose, Exhale let it go. Good. One more time, Big breath in, Exhale release. Coming back to your natural breath. Good. Take a moment to thank yourself for your practice. I hope that you can return to your day with intention and clarity. I hope to practice with you again.
