Chapter 1
Time to Practice: Your Healing Breath
This is where the magic happens. You are moving from understanding belly breathing to actually experiencing its calming effects on your whole being.
Before you begin:
Find a quiet, comfortable space where you will not be disturbed. Make your setup as cozy as possible with any props that support ease, such as:
A bolster or cushion under your knees
Blankets or cushions under your elbows
A small pillow for your neck
A warm blanket for comfort
What to expect:
This guided practice will ease you into full, gentle belly breathing. Let the breath be in and out through the nose if possible. You will learn to breathe not just into the front of your belly, but into your entire abdominal area. This kind of breath invites your whole system to soften, settle, and return to a natural state of rest.
After the practice:
Take your time returning. Notice how you feel. Are you more grounded, soft, or spacious? Let that calm carry with you into whatever comes next.
Reflections:
How did you feel at the start of the practice, and how do you feel now? What shifted?
What did you notice about your breath or body during the practice? Any surprises?
