Somatic Breathwork Meditation for Conscious Clarity

Good morning, everyone. Tuning in. So excited to have you back today for another guided daily practice. Such an honor to open up this space for you on a busy Monday morning just to give you that space to ground and to have space held for you so that you can actually take up space. Space. So honored to have you. Whatever time it is, we are tuning in. We have a global community, so maybe it's the evening. Maybe this will be a great way to ground you just into your evening. For those of you who do not know me, my name is Morgan and I am on the Somatic team and I help with social media and guiding these practices. So such a blessing to have you. Let me know you're tuning in. So cool to see where everyone comes from. So this is your first time doing a guided daily practice with Somatic. It's an honor to have you. This practice is super powerful. Even just 10 to 15 minutes with this breathwork can drastically transform how you show up for your day, how you show up for yourself. And this is definitely a practice that transformed my life. Just the little daily decisions to show up with my breath even for five minutes, is incredibly transformative. So very thankful to have you here and to have you trusting this space to show up for yourself. So honored to have you. So just to go into the type of breathing we will do in case this is your first time tuning in, this will be very similar to an actual structure of a full Somatic journey or Somatic Reset. You will have two types of breathing that I will guide you into, and that will be the beginning half is that clearing breath. And the clearing breath is really meant to get you back into your body and to clear out even just a little bit of what might be in your way and blocking you from showing up with your truest expression and truest self. And then the second half will be much more gentle. And for that, I'll be bringing you back into your body, bringing you back into how you actually want to show up now that you've done this clearing. So it's recommended to be maybe sitting down with your hands on your knees. If this is your first time doing this, you can absolutely lie down if that feels right to you. It will be an inward journey with your eyes closed. Music playing and that beginning clearing breath will be in and out through the mouth, kind of like you're sweeping out with a broom what doesn't belong anymore in your body. So think about deep diaphragm breathing like this. You can use sound if you need to and think much more depth over speed. So this isn't about how fast you go, but just the depth by which you breathe out and breathe out what doesn't belong. And then the second half will be much more gentle. That will be deep inhales through the nose and long exhales through the mouth that I'll guide you into. And this is for receiving, receiving that intention that I'll have you set before we begin receiving how you want to show up and feel as your truest self. And I'll also guide you into a couple breath holds. So after that first clearing half, there will be a breath hold where I'll guide you in to hold the breath at the top. And this is just your space to digest, to give yourself more space to see whatever it is your body's feeling, whatever emotions are coming up for you, for you to feel it fully, this is your space to feel it all fully and to see it clearly. And then at the end there will be another breath hold that I'll cue you into to just hold the breath out and just have that moment for yourself to be with your body and see whatever messages that it has for you for the rest of your day or your evening, whatever time it is you're tuning in. And again, my name is Morgan and it's an honor to hold this space for you. So let's go ahead now and make sure you finding a comfortable seated position in a space that you can digest and feel. Just go ahead and close your eyes now and just become aware of your breath in this moment. How does it want to show up without any pressure or forcing and begin to feel in to any sensations within your body, any physical sensations that are coming up for you. Maybe it's some tension, maybe you feel loose and relaxed in your muscles. And after you feel in to that sensation, what emotions are you feeling? Don't try to force any one emotion, but just feel it fully. What emotions are running through your body? And now take it just one step deeper. What stories are you telling yourself right now? What's the story playing out in your mind and your body in this moment without judgment? See that clearly, you might find that this sensation and emotion and even story, maybe they're connected. And I invite you now, as we are about to begin the breath work, to feel into one thing. What is one intention that you would like to receive by the end of this session, by the end of this daily breath work? If you feel called to share that in the chat, feel free. These intentions surrender beautiful relief, beautiful confidence. Confidence to create and extend my Offerings, letting go of what no longer serves me. And these intentions that you're feeling, they're already you. Power, it's already you. Something's just gotten in the way of that. And so with eyes closed, holding on to that intention, we're going to begin the clearing breaths and breathe in to whatever areas in your body you feel you've been blocking this intention. All right, let's begin. 30 breaths. Use the breath. Clear out the stress. Clear out what's in your way. Good. Keep going. You get to decide how deep you want to go and clear out whatever weight you've been carrying in your body. Breathe it out. Release it now. Good. Five more breaths. Two more breaths. Let's go. One more deep. Inhale in and just hold it at the top for a moment. Where in your body have you been carrying the weight of other stress that was never yours to carry? See it clearly. You can let that breath hold. Go now and begin to take deep inhales through the nose. Long exhales out. If you need to move your body here, just breathe in that goodness, into your life. Breathe in that peace and power and strength. Sa breathe in that joy, gratitude for that truest self that's always been there. Breathe in whatever it is you're thankful for. We don't always have to like what we're thankful for, but we can still be thankful for it. Breathe in that joy and gratitude for showing up for yourself. Three more deep breaths here. One more deep breath in and let it all go and just hold it out for a moment. Notice any changes now to your body, to your somatic being. Notice any sounds around you and bring awareness back into this space. You can let the breath hold go now. Just feel in to whatever intention that you set. That intention has always been you. There's just been something in the way. Continue to bring awareness back into your body. Maybe wiggle your fingers and your toes. Maybe put your hand on your heart in gratitude. You can do this daily breath work at any point in your day. Maybe it's the morning, maybe it's the evening, maybe it's in the middle of your day when you feel the pressures of life just weighing you down. This breath is your superpower. You can always come back to this. Let's take just one more deep inhale together. The deepest of the day. Let it all go well. Such an honor to have you here this daily practice. And if maybe you tuned in, maybe in the middle or near the end. This recording will be available on our YouTube, on our Facebook, and even on instagram in case you would like to watch it later. Or maybe in a day from now or a week from now, you can tune back into yourself and those intentions with the superpower of this breath. So thankful to have each of you here today. It's never by accident. It's always with an intention and a reason why you tune in exactly when you do. Sending you all love and light. And I'll see you in our next guided practice on Monday. Sending you love.
