About this episode

Julia Cartwright guides listeners through a breathing exercise aimed at achieving genuine relaxation on a Sunday morning.

Hey there, I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here with me today. You know, it's early Sunday morning where you are, and I'm willing to bet that somewhere in your mind, there's already a to-do list forming. Maybe it's work stuff, maybe it's personal things, or maybe it's just that general hum of life that doesn't quite have an off switch. Well, you've come to exactly the right place, because today we're going to practice something I call the art of genuine relaxation. Not the kind where you're still secretly thinking about emails. The real deal. So find yourself somewhere comfortable, wherever that is for you right now. Doesn't have to be fancy. On the couch, in bed, by a window. Just somewhere your body can settle in like it's meeting an old friend. And if you're sitting, let your shoulders drop away from your ears. Just let them fall. There we go. Now, I want you to start noticing your breath. Not trying to change it yet, just noticing it. Where do you feel it most? Maybe it's at your nostrils, cool air coming in, warm air going out. Maybe it's in your chest, rising and falling like a gentle tide. Or perhaps it's deeper, in your belly. There's no right answer here…
