Hello and welcome. We're so grateful you're here. Our meditation will begin shortly after a brief word from our sponsors who make these meditations available for free, for everyone.

Thank you so much for supporting the show. Hey dear friend, it's Jody here.

And today I'm bringing you into a practice that has become a personal sanctuary for me.

Breath work. In moments when life feels too heavy, when everything seems so

overwhelming, I've often turned to what I call my adult version of a timeout. I sit on my

meditation bench, close my eyes, and just breathe. It's amazing how this simple act can melt away the angst, the worries, the stresses,

and the overwhelming sensations that crowd our minds. So today I want to share this practice with you.

This meditation is all about returning to our breath, our most basic yet profound life force.

By focusing on our breathing, we can ground ourselves, finding calm and clarity amidst the chaos of everyday life.

May you find a peace and solace in your breath today. I'm You're going to be here. Let's begin by getting into a comfortable position.

Sitting or lying down,

allowing your body to melt into its position.

Bring your mind away from

attention to your breath.

Taking your mind away from all those thoughts, all those tasks, all those emotions. emotions and inviting them to rest in your breath. You're going to be here. Oh, Breathe in and out gently through your nose.

Feeling your inhale, expand your belly and exhale relax your body further.

Let yourself breathe in just a little longer

and breathe out just a little more.

Just stay here for a bit in sync with the rhythm of your breath. You're not going to be here. You're going to be here. You're going to be here. Relax deeper into your breath. You're going to be here. Oh, And then. Now I'm going to lead you through a breath work exercise to help you increase your energy.

It will be a series of breaths each to the count of a number and then we'll repeat it three times.

Let each of these breaths fill your belly

rather than your chest,
