A short (one-minute) guided relaxation video by Ashok Gupta that uses nature-themed breathing and a beach visualization to activate the body’s natural relaxation response. The speaker leads a series of deep inhales and long exhalations (including loud sighs), cues bodily awareness (chest and belly movement), and closes by inviting viewers to join weekday 15-minute "Guptacise" sessions for further practice.
Welcome to another one minute Gupticise where we'll use the power of nature to activate our body's natural relaxation response. So to begin, let's ground ourselves by taking a deep breath in through our nose. Filling our lungs with fresh, invigorating air of nature. Feel your chest expand with each breath in. And notice how your belly expands as you breathe in and how it goes in as you breathe out. Now let's take another deep breath in. And as you exhale, let out a long loud sigh. Feel that stress or tension melt away with each breath out. Let's do that again. Let's inhale deeply, feeling the peace and tranquility. And as we breathe out, letting go, giving permission to your body to relax in tranquility. Continue that deep breath in for a few more breaths. Feeling that sense of calm washing over you. Do that again one last time. Deep breath in. Ah. Imagining you're on this beach right now, relaxing and letting go. And remember, you can join us each weekday morning for daily Gupta Sai for your 15 minute daily invigoration and relaxation. So see you there.
