À propos de cet audio

 Hey there, and welcome back to Mindful Moments. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here. You know, it's early December, and if you're anything like me, your nervous system is probably doing cartwheels right now. Between the holiday planning, year-end deadlines, and just the general momentum of finishing strong, your body might feel like it's running on espresso fumes. So today, we're going to do something really simple but incredibly settling together. Let's find some ease in your breath.

Go ahead and find a comfortable seat, wherever you are. Your shoulders can drop away from your ears. Your jaw can soften. You don't need to be perfect here. If you're sitting at a desk, on your couch, or even in your car during a lunch break, this works everywhere. The only thing I'm asking you to do right now is arrive. Just arrive here with yourself.

Now, let's start by noticing your natural breath. Don't change it yet. Just observe it like you're watching clouds drift across the sky. You're not directing them, just watching them move. Your breath might feel shallow, it might feel tight, or it might feel just fine. Whatever it is, that's exactly right. Breathe in through your nose if you can, and out through your mouth with a gentle sigh. Do that three times. In and sigh it out. Good.

Now we're going to try something I call the Anchored Breath. It's my favorite way to interrupt that racing mind and bring everything back home. Here's how it works. You're going to breathe in slowly through your nose for a count of four. As you breathe in, imagine you're drawing in a color that represents calm for you. Maybe it's blue or green or even warm gold. You're literally breathing in peace.

Then you're going to hold that breath for a count of four. Just pause. Feel it filling your entire body from your head down through your fingertips.

Then exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of six. This longer exhale activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which is basically your body's natural chill button. As you breathe out, imagine releasing any tension, any worry, any stuck energy.

Let's do this together for the next few minutes. Breathing in for four, holding for four, and exhaling for six. The longer exhale is the secret ingredient. That's where the magic happens. Your nervous system starts to recognize you're safe, and it begins to settle down. Keep going with me. Deeper with each round. Gentler with each release.

Whenever you move through your day today, come back to this. Even one Anchored Breath can reset everything. A few breaths before that email, before that meeting, before bed tonight.

Thank you so much for joining me on Mindful Moments Daily Breathing Exercises for Relaxation. I hope you felt a little more grounded. Please subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's practice. You've got this, and I'll be right here with you. Take good care.
