Daily Breathwork Reset: Find Calm in Every Inhale

let's begin find a comfortable position seated or lying down allowing the weight of your body to truly settle feel the support beneath you and when you're ready let your eyes drift closed there's nothing else to do in our last practice we found a rhythm a way to reset the day today we go deeper into the engine of the breath itself place one hand on your chest the other just below your ribs on the soft part of your belly

this is where we will focus breathing from the diaphragm for now simply notice the air come in and notice it go out now as you inhale slowly through your nose guide the breath down past the chest into the belly feel your lower hand gently rise a slow steady expansion the hand on your chest stays mostly still and as you exhale through your mouth or nose feel the belly fall a slow controlled release back toward the spine

inhale the belly expands exhale the belly softens there is no force here simply allowing and now let the words fall away your hands are your guide your body knows this rhythm now just this breath in and out feeling the gentle rise of the abdomen

the gentle fall each breath is a quiet reset for your nervous system each breath a return to your own center rest in this stillness in the quiet space between the breaths nothing to do nowhere to go slowly now begin to bring your awareness back let the focus on the breath soften notice the points of contact your body makes with the surface beneath you the temperature of the air on your skin

gently wiggle your fingers your toes this comb is yours carry it with you open your eyes whenever you feel ready
