Hey, guys, welcome back to your weekly breath work. And I want you to come and be invited to just find a quiet place. Find a place that you're really able to get comfortable, that you're able to sit or lay and just be in complete silence and be so present with where you're at. We know the power of breath work. We know what it does in terms of connectivity, creating oneness, creating wholeness, creating mental clarity, reducing anxiety. So I want to invite you into that and into that space today. Remember that as we go into our breath work, we're going to do two inhale breaths through the nose, one audible exhale, breath through the mouth. And it's active. It's something that we're not just passively breathing. We passively breathe every single second of the day. We want to be active in this moment.
So it looks like this.
Okay, so today we're going to go through a 20 breath sequence. 20.
Inhale, inhale, exhales.
And then we're going to hold for 60 seconds. We're going to do three rounds of that and then going to take you into a little meditation. Finish, find yourself a nice comfortable place, seated or laying, and we'll begin.
Inhale, Inhale, Exhale. Inhale, Inhale, Exhale.
Keep the cadence.
Inhale, Inhale.
Exhale.

Inhale. Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale, Inhale, Exhale.
Keep going halfway on your own cadence, on your own time. Keep that same pace. You might be feeling a little bit of tingling in your hands, your face.
That's okay.
Just stay confident, stay complete. Stay still, stay present. Five more.
Inhale. Inhale, Exhale. Inhale. Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale. Inhale, Exhale. Inhale, Inhale, Exhale.
Last one.
Inhale.
Inhale, exhale, Inhale, all the way in and hold. 60 seconds here. You may feel like you want to hold with a full set of breath in the lungs. You may feel like you want to hold with an empty set of lungs like we've done previously. Either is okay. You can even switch it up halfway and slowly exhale the breath that you originally held. Allow yourself to be so peaceful, truly surrender. It's halfway. If you feel like you want to breathe, just come back to the truth that you have more than enough oxygen inside of you. You're safe, you're loved. You can breathe anytime you want. Five seconds. Four, three, two, one.

And exhale. Go back right into your normal breathing cadence. Allow yourself just to be slow, to be still, to be rhythmic, to be peaceful. And I want you to. To go back to that place that you just were in your breath sequences. Maybe you were on a cloud, Maybe you were on a beach. Maybe you were flying. Maybe you were standing with somebody. Maybe you were just in the presence of greatness. Maybe all you saw was bright lights. I want you to go back to that place. And what I want you to do is I want you to focus so clearly on what is being said to you. What are you hearing, what clarity are you getting? What newfound understanding are you getting? And I want you to focus on that. I want you to get clear on that. I want you to bring it down into one or two descriptive sentences. That clarity is what you're called to. That clarity is a message for you to take action on. That clarity is a deep level of connection that I want you to accept and receive as you get continually connected back to that breath. As your body is in that spade of surrender. I want you to slowly start wiggling your fingers and toes. Slowly sit up. And I want you to write that sentence or two down in your phone, in a journal, on a piece of paper. Text it to yourself so that you don't forget it. That's something you can take action on today. Go have a great day.
