super easy that Shopify and there's

myself when I see that little purple button that

0:34

says shop pay I know this is gonna be

0:36

so easy. It is easy

0:38

to use as a business owner.

0:42

the shopper and Shopify is the

0:44

commerce platform behind 10 % of

Hello everyone. Welcome

1:55

to this episode of the

1:57

Mindful in Minutes podcast. Today

2:00

we are doing a five

2:02

minute Resonant Breath Meditation. So

2:05

this is a practice, it's a

2:07

very simple but powerful breath practice.

2:10

It's called Resonance Breathing and it

2:12

is just this gentle, even paced

2:14

breath pattern where you're trying to

2:16

take five to six breaths per

2:19

minute. but I'm going to walk

2:21

you through the whole thing, so

2:23

don't worry. It's a

2:25

breath that really helps to cultivate

2:27

focus and also helps to bring

2:29

harmony and balance to your

2:32

nervous system. And since

2:34

it's the first of the month, this is our community

2:36

mini. So this month,

2:38

we are going to be

2:41

supporting MetAvivor, which is an

2:43

organization that grants awards for

2:45

metastatic breast cancer research. And

2:48

this is an organization that was

2:51

near and dear to

2:53

a listener's heart. So

2:56

it was her request

2:58

that we support that

3:00

organization. So we're gonna do that today.

3:04

So we'll begin this practice

3:07

by sitting up tall, creating

3:11

a long spine, softening

3:15

the shoulders. And

3:19

if it feels good, closing

3:21

down the eyes. You

3:27

And just take a

3:29

moment to come to stillness and

3:33

connect with your breath. Just

3:37

by bringing your awareness

3:39

to the natural rhythm

3:41

of your breath. We'll

3:48

begin. Just

3:51

by noticing the inhales

3:53

and the exhales. You

4:00

Making note of

4:02

how it feels today

4:04

and where you feel the breath

4:07

most in your body. And

4:22

now we'll begin our resident

4:24

breath practice. We'll

4:28

begin by exhaling all the air out

4:30

of our lungs. Then

4:34

we'll inhale for a count of

4:36

five, four, three,

4:40

two, one. Exhale

4:43

for five, four,

4:47

3, 2,

4:50

1, Again,

4:53

inhale, 5,

4:56

4, 3, 2,

5:00

1, exhale,

5:03

5, 5, four, three,

5:07

two, one.

5:10

Continue with this. Inhaling

5:13

for a count of five. Exhaling

5:17

for a count of five. And

5:23

really taking your time. You

5:28

could even extend it to six and

5:30

six if that feels more natural to

5:32

you. When

5:35

we're breathing at that rate

5:37

of five or six seconds

5:39

per inhale and exhale, that's

5:41

how we'll reach that five

5:43

or six breaths per minute.

5:48

Continuing with this pattern. If

5:53

it's possible, maybe slowing it down even

5:55

a tiny bit more. And

6:07

just keep going at this pace. Smooth

6:12

steady. Allowing

6:17

that breath to move like a gentle wave.

6:20

Rising for five, falling for

6:23

five. just

6:25

breathing in and out.

6:48

And if your mind wanders, that's

6:50

okay. Just

6:53

bring it back to the

6:55

breath. Every time.

6:57

Bring it back to the rhythm. And

7:17

we'll do this breath for about

7:19

30 more seconds, really

7:21

taking your time inhaling

7:23

for five, exhaling for

7:26

five. And

7:49

now let go of

7:51

the counting and just allow

7:53

your breath to return to its natural rhythm.

7:58

You And

8:04

just notice how you feel. Maybe

8:09

notice the space, the

8:12

stillness, the sense of ease. Just

8:17

be present with how you're feeling

8:20

right now in this moment. moment.

8:31

And taking a big deep breath

8:33

in through the nose and

8:37

open mouth exhale, sigh it out, letting

8:39

go. Opening

8:43

the eyes and closing your

8:45

practice. Thanks

8:49

for being here today.
