Hello, my friends.
Today, I’m inviting you to pause, settle in, and reconnect with your breath through a deeply soothing breathing practice.
Whether your mind feels busy, your body tense, or your heart simply needs a moment of quiet — this meditation is here to help you slow down and return to your inner calm.
🧘♀️ What to Expect from This Meditation
In this guided practice, we begin with a few grounding breaths and gentle body awareness. Then, we move into a breathing technique known as 4-16-8 breathwork — a pattern that helps soothe the nervous system and promote clarity, focus, and deep relaxation.
Here’s what we’ll explore:
- A few deep grounding breaths to center you
- A body scan to connect with the present moment
- Guided rounds of 4-16-8 breathing
- Space to breathe in silence for a few minutes
- A gentle return to awareness and stillness
This technique is powerful yet simple — and if 16-count breath holds feel too long, you’re welcome to soften it to 4-8-8 instead.
