day would make a difference in your life
and your day what if it was as simple as
just breathing so take a moment wherever
you are choose you might stay seated you
might stand up whatever feels right for
you might want to stretch around a
little bit just choose where you want to
be and then once you make that decision
take a couple of moments to even shift a
little bit get comfortable allow the
eyes to softly close I here and here and
since the shifting to let yourself
settle let the eyes softly close take a
moment as you’re here to feel the feet
firmly planted into the ground maybe
feel the sit bones dropping in if you’re

deep breaths and take five deep breaths
after your personal fifth breath on that
next inhale count how many times it
takes to get to the very top of that
inhale to balance it out count that same
number down on your exhale you might be
working with a number of four five six
seven eight or higher
whatever your number is stay with it for
the next five breaths count up all the
way to your inhale count back down all
the way to your exhale five deep breaths
after your personal fifth cycle of
allow the count to drop away even allow
the internal vision of the breath to
drop away
allow your awareness to empty completely
