Breathwork to Reclaim Your Attention

Social media takes your attention and keeps it. This is fifteen minutes of taking it back.

Before anything else: this session uses breath retention. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition, high blood pressure, or a history of seizures, listen along without the breathing. Never while driving or near water.

Most breathwork tries to calm you down. This one wakes you up.

The Breath of Awakening is three rounds of the same wave. Nose in, mouth out, two and two, the whole way through. First the wave. Then the charge. Then empty.

The empty is the switch. When the urge to breathe rises, the thinking mind loses the argument. No hypnotic countdown, nobody talking you down. The breath does the work, and you land in the heart. Then three minutes of silence with no voice at all. Nothing to do. It already happened.

If you have been moving through the day half here, foggy, on autopilot, this is for that.

Tingling, lightheadedness, warmth in the hands and face, emotion from nowhere. All normal. Stay with the wave, and if you have to breathe before you are told to, let it end. There is no failing this.

Fifteen minutes, spine long, headphones on. A wellness recording, not a substitute for medical or psychological care.
