About this listen
Today, I want to invite you into a gentle breathing practice that will help you reset and ground yourself. Find a comfortable position - whether you're sitting, standing, or even lying down. Let your body settle wherever you are right now.
Take a soft breath in through your nose, allowing your chest and belly to expand like a gentle wave rising. Then exhale slowly, imagining any tension dissolving like morning mist. There's no perfect way to breathe - just allow your body's natural rhythm to emerge.
Now, let's explore what I call the "anchor breath" technique. Imagine your breath as a kind and patient friend, always available to support you. With each inhale, silently say to yourself "I am" and with each exhale, "here now." These aren't just words, but a living invitation to be fully present.
Notice how your breath moves through you - cool air entering, warm air leaving. Some breaths will feel smooth, others might feel choppy or irregular. That's completely okay. You're not trying to fix or change anything, just witnessing with curiosity and kindness.
If your mind wanders - and it will, because that's what minds do - gently guide your attention back to the breath. Think of this like training a puppy: not with frustration, but with patience and gentle redirection.
As we finish, take one more deep, nourishing breath. Consider how you might carry this sense of calm with you today. Maybe it's a single mindful breath before a challenging meeting, or a moment of stillness while waiting in line.
Thank you for spending these moments together. If this practice resonated with you, please subscribe and join us again tomorrow. Until then, breathe easy, be kind to yourself, and remember: you are exactly where you need to be.
