Welcome back to the podcast. If you are new here, I'm Ray. I'm a schematic coach and breathwork facilitator. And if you aren't new here, welcome back. I'm so glad that you are tuning in for today's episode. For today's episode, I'm going to be walking you through a guided breathwork meditation practice to really support you in feeling a sense of wholeness, cultivating some gratitude, and just really feeling into like the full human experience. So this is going to be helpful for building self-compassion, understanding of the self, empowerment, mind-body connection, really making that inner world experience something that feels really safe and supportive for you. So if you are driving, of course, you don't want to do this practice while you're driving. So save it for later. And if you want to listen to this practice again outside of the podcast, you can check out the show notes and sign up for the monthly newsletter. And this will send you directly to a resource library of breath work, meditation practices, and a downloadable ebook as well for creating your own breathwork practice. So I hope you enjoyed today's practice. And let's dive in. So begin to find yourself in a seated position with your back, your spine sitting straight up. And if you need a bit of support to feel comfortable in a seated position, uh, you know, grab some extra support, whatever you might need to drop into this practice. Gently beginning to rest your eyes or close them gently. And we're going to start with three clearing breaths. So taking a deep inhale through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Taking a deep inhale through your nose. Exhaling through the mouth. And taking one more deep breath, just like that at your pace. And really allow yourself to land here in this moment. So bringing your awareness from the mind, however active or loud, or gentle, or soft the mind has been showing up in this moment, or earlier this day or this week, however that might be. Allowing your mind to rest and bringing that same awareness into the body. So beginning to notice the sensations of your hands, maybe if they're warm or if they're cold. Beginning to notice the bottom of your feet, if your feet are warm or cold. Noticing how the belly feels. And noticing how it feels for the air to make contact with your skin. And our intention for today's practice is to bring a sense of wholeness within. And we're going to close with some gratitude as well. So each time you blow out the candle, your belly snaps inwards. So you're going to take your time with this breath and you're going to find your pace. And it sounds like this. So with every exhale, there's an a natural inhale, and you are creating more space in your body, more room to be, to be present, to be here right now in this moment. If it's telling you that you're not doing the breath right or anything like that, just let it know that you are doing it exactly right. And we're going to have about one more minute here of this breath until we release it. So continuing that breath at your pace. And if the body wants to remove and respond, if it wants to stretch or shake or maybe be still, just simply noticing and allowing the body to respond in a way that would it would feel good to it. And then when you feel ready, taking a deep inhale through the nose and suspending your breath at the top and holding your breath for as long as you'd like. And releasing with a deep sigh. And pausing here to notice what it feels like to be in your own energy. You're here, you're safe. And from this place, beginning to have this conversation internally from you to you. And this could be your inner child, your heart, your inner teen. This is to all parts. And you can repeat these affirmations internally or out loud. I see you. I'm here for you. I believe in you. All of you gets to be here. I love all parts of you. You are beautiful. You are strong. You are safe here. I've got you. I love you. And when you feel ready, beginning the halo active breath. So taking a deep inhale through the nose and a deep exhale through the mouth. Inhaling through the nose, and exhaling through the mouth. And continuing that breath at your pace. And allowing all of these affirmations to really settle deeply into your system as you continue to breathe. And I repeat these affirmations one more time. And again, these affirmations are from your inner voice to you. I see you. I'm here for you. I believe in you. All of you gets to be here. I love all parts of you. You are beautiful. You are strong. You are safe here. I've got you. I love you. And then gently, when you feel ready, beginning to release that active breath, returning back to your normal breathing pattern, moving the body as needed, maybe stretching out the hands, the shoulders. And as we begin to close out this practice, landing on one thing that you are grateful for in yourself. So this could be your humor, your perspective, your body, your kindness. It could be anything. But landing on one thing you are grateful for in yourself. Gently beginning to open your eyes, and taking this practice with you into the rest of your day. I'll talk to you soon.
