- [00:00:07.660]Monday Breath.
- [00:00:10.690]Sit in a comfortable position.
- [00:00:13.890]Make any adjustments you need.
- [00:00:16.790]Close your eyes.
- [00:00:21.990]Take a few deep breath.
- [00:00:25.525](water flowing)
- [00:00:34.090]Notice how your breath feels.
- [00:00:45.020]Let the posture invite your diaphragm to relax,
- [00:00:51.610]giving you more space to breathe.
- [00:01:03.140]Let's set an intention for today's practice.
- [00:01:06.436](speaking in foreign language)
- [00:01:15.320]Today we're going to lighten up our breath with humor
- [00:01:18.440]while we practice ways of breathing.
- [00:01:22.280]It's not the cure for a case of the Mondays,
- [00:01:25.800]but it might let you catch your breath.
- [00:01:30.820]Focus on your breath.
- [00:01:35.450]Feel the path of your breath into your body
- [00:01:41.970]and out of the body.
- [00:01:47.750]No need to huff and puff, just breathe.
- [00:01:58.100]This isn't your last breath.
- [00:01:59.990]Keep breathing.
- [00:02:09.750]Allow your breath to deepen.
- [00:02:17.250]Let your breath cycle get longer.
- [00:02:31.500]No need to hold your breath.
- [00:02:33.820]Breathe easily.
- [00:02:48.040]Slow with the inhale.
- [00:02:52.859]Slow with the exhale.
- [00:02:59.040]If it's comfortable, place your hands on your belly.
- [00:03:05.430]Notice where you feel the breath the most.
- [00:03:08.850]The belly, your ribs, your chest.
- [00:03:20.940]Can you let your belly do all the breathing?
- [00:03:30.680]Notice that your hands rise with the breath.
- [00:03:40.379]And what a breath of fresh air?
- [00:03:42.990]It takes your breath away.
- [00:03:54.230]Now find the still point at the bottom of the exhalation.
- [00:04:03.030]Sink into that stillness.
- [00:04:08.880]Do that again.
- [00:04:17.970]You can breathe, you can hear.
- [00:04:23.167]You don't have to breath a word about it.
- [00:04:33.510]Release your control of the breath.
- [00:04:40.070]Allow it to find its natural rhythm.
- [00:04:51.330]Feel it supporting you,
- [00:04:54.380]the weight of your body with support.
- [00:05:01.220]Feel your fingers and toes.
- [00:05:06.650]Notice how you feel.
- [00:05:12.130]See if you can breathe a little of this
- [00:05:14.270]into the rest of your Monday.
