The body is always breathing for us. How often do you notice it? I mean really notice it with conscious effort? Sometimes our thought patterns can keep us away from noticing the breath. There isn’t enough space to focus – or so we think – but perhaps this space is exactly what we need to declutter the mind. If you feel that you have been ruminating or observing thought patterns, perhaps negative ones or thoughts that don’t serve you well – offer this pause in your day. Come back to this breathwork practice whenever you need to center yourself and bring your focus away from those thoughts and on to your breath.

As you breathe, bring your awareness to the areas of your body where you feel discomfort or tension. Imagine dissolving that area of tension or discomfort, whether physical, mental, or emotional. Become aware of where you feel this sense and use your breath to release it.

The Ocean Breath Work Practice is a guided meditation technique aimed at inducing relaxation and a sense of calm by synchronizing breath with the imagery and rhythm of ocean waves.

The Ocean Breath Technique:

Inhale deeply through your nose, filling your lungs completely, as you exhale, imagine the sound of ocean waves gently rolling onto the shore as you find a slight constriction in the back of your throat and breathe out through your nose. Imagine linking your breath with the cadence of the ocean waves.
