Welcome back to the podcast. If you are new here, I'm Ray. I'm a systematic 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. Today's episode is a breath work practice for the holiday season. And it's going to be really helpful for quieting the mind, connecting with your body and feeling more grounded and at ease during the holidays. So you can download this practice and listen to it off of the podcast by going to the show notes and signing up to receive the monthly newsletter. That will also give you access to the Breathwork Resource Library. So this practice is also being released on New Year's Eve. And so I hope you have an incredible New Year's. I hope you've been enjoying time this holiday season time. And yeah, I thank you so much for tuning in to the podcast. So I hope you enjoy this practice. I hope you have an incredible rest of your day, an incredible, incredible rest of your week. And I will talk to you soon. Welcome back to the studio. For today's practice, we're going to be doing breath work for holiday stress relief. And this is a great practice for you to really clear your energy and ground and really feel connected to yourself and knowing that all is well, I am grounded, I am centered, and I am safe. And the breath pattern that we'll be doing today is the bliss breath. So that is all through the nose, and that sounds like this. We'll do that for a few minutes and then we'll move right into the halo active, which is inhaling deeply through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. So I hope that you enjoy this practice and let's dive in. Beginning to find yourself in a comfortable position, whether that's seated in a chair or on the couch or on the bed. And allowing your energy to settle here by bringing your awareness to the surface underneath you, supporting you. So really feeling the structure underneath you, maybe taking a deep exhale. Feeling your body being supported and getting even just a notch bit heavier. And working with the mantra for our practice today, all is well. I am grounded, centered, and safe. And when you feel ready, beginning with the first round of the bliss breath, and that is all through the nose at your pace. Really allowing this breath to feel supportive and resourcing for you. And when you feel ready, transitioning into that halo active breath, so taking a deep inhale through your nose and a deep exhale through your mouth at your pace. Maybe noticing what has shifted. If there's a specific sensation in the body, a sense of calmness, a sense of presence, and allowing yourself to lean into this feeling. I am grounded, I am centered, and I am safe.
