Intention, Quote, And Closing
SPEAKER_00Welcome to Meditation Drip, your daily dose of mindfulness. This is Julie Scan, and we are on day 18 of our 30-day one-minute meditation challenge. Today's practice is for regulating your nervous system through conscious breathing. This is one of my all-time favorite breath work techniques because it is easy, it is calming, it is soothing, and science even shows that it is great for our nervous systems. So let's do this. Find your comfortable spot, or if you're doing this on the move, see if you can just pause for a minute to be still and enjoy this practice with me. As always, and with any kind of breath work, take it at a pace that feels good for you. If at any point it feels too much, just return to your natural breathing rhythm. Let's go in. For the next minute, let's soothe your nervous system through conscious breathing. For this practice, you will be taking gentle slow inhales in through your nose, pausing and holding your breath for a moment or two at the top, and then exhaling a long slow exhale out through your mouth, and again pausing and holding for a moment or two at the bottom. For the next minute, we will continue with that rhythm together. Please close your eyes. Fill your breath, fill your body with your inhale. Pause and hold. And exhale, allow your body to relax. And again, pause and hold. Keep going with this rhythm. Listen to the sound of your breath. Feel your body relax. Fill yourself with fresh air. And allow your nervous system to reset. One more nice slow inhale in, pausing and holding, and beautiful exhale out, letting it all go. Before opening your eyes, take a moment to set an intention to take extra special care of yourself today. Maybe that includes pausing for more moments like this. TikNat Han said, feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor. Thank you for taking this mindful break with me today.
