Welcome. I'm so glad you're here. Right now, let's give your body the fastest reset it knows. Please take a breath in through your nose, and at the top, sip in just a little more air. Hold it for a moment. Now let it all go with a long audible sigh through your mouth. Ah. Let's do that again. Big breath in through the nose, a second little sip at the top. Holding for a second and release. Let the sound carry the tension out with it. One more time, just for you. Inhaling in, sipping in a little more air, holding. And exhaling out with a sigh.
