Somatic Breath Practice for Menopause Balance
Thank you for being here, I hope this short practice can help you in some way to find a moment to pause and reset.
Choose a quiet, comfortable space where you can sit or lie down without distractions. Close your eyes and bring your attention to your body, ensuring that your spine is aligned, and your limbs are relaxed.
Place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. Take a moment to connect with your breath, feeling the rise and fall of your chest and belly as you inhale and exhale.
Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four, allowing your belly to expand. Pause your breath for another count of four, if this is available to you, noticing the sensations in your body.
Exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of four, releasing any tension or stress. Pause for a count of four before your next breath. let your breath be easy and don’t force the breath or gasp for your next breath, if this happens change the pace of your count to suit you.
Continue with a sense of ease for several minutes then,
As you continue the four-count breathing pattern, bring your awareness to different areas of your body, starting with your feet and moving up through your legs, pelvis, abdomen, chest, arms, shoulders, neck, and head.
With each exhale, consciously release any tension or discomfort you notice. You can chose to do this quickly or take your time,
As you near the end of the practice, think of something you are grateful for during this phase of your life.
Inhale deeply, visualizing your gratitude filling your body, and exhale, imagining it radiating out into the world.
After a few more cycles of breath, gently wiggle your fingers and toes to bring your awareness back to your surroundings.
Slowly open your eyes and take a moment to notice and reflect on how you feel.
Carry the sense of balance, relaxation, and gratitude with you throughout your day.
Remember to pause, throughout your day to reset, recharge and breath with a conscious awareness.
This simple, yet powerful somatic breath practice helps to reduce stress, improve emotional well-being, and cultivate a sense of gratitude and balance during the menopause journey.
