À propos de cet audio

Hello, and welcome to Mindful Moments. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here. You know, Thursday mornings can feel like that moment right before a pot of water boils over, can't they? There's this electric restlessness, like your nervous system is already three tasks ahead of your body. If that's where you're landing today, you're not alone. And honestly, you've already done the hardest part by showing up here. So let's take a few minutes together and help your mind and body remember they can work in sync.

Find yourself somewhere comfortable, seated or lying down, wherever feels good. Let your shoulders drop away from your ears. Notice what's supporting you right now. Feel that. As we begin, there's nothing to fix, nothing to achieve. This is just time for you.

Now, let's start with what I call the Anchor Breath. Here's the beautiful part about this technique: it uses the rhythm of your natural breathing to become an anchor, like a boat settling into calm water. You're not forcing anything. You're just noticing.

Breathe in through your nose for a count of four. Feel the cool air entering, filling your belly first, then your chest. One, two, three, four. Now hold that breath for a count of four. Just pause there. Notice the stillness. One, two, three, four. Now exhale through your mouth for a count of six. Longer on the way out. Feel the warmth leaving. One, two, three, four, five, six.

Let's do that again. Inhale for four. Two, three, four. Hold for four. Two, three, four. Exhale for six. Two, three, four, five, six. Beautiful. Notice how your body feels already starting to settle.

Continue this rhythm on your own now. Inhale for four, hold for four, exhale for six. There's something almost magical about the longer exhale. It signals your nervous system that you're safe, that the crisis has passed. Keep going. In, two, three, four. Hold, two, three, four. Out, two, three, four, five, six.

Let your awareness rest in that space between each exhale and the next inhale. That tiny moment of peace. That's yours.

As we close, keep this simple rhythm in your pocket today. When you're in that meeting, or the checkout line, or just before something feels overwhelming, come back to that four, four, six count. It's your portable sanctuary.
