Setting Down the Weight: A Morning Breath Practice
About this episode
Julia Cartwright guides listeners through a morning breath practice to promote relaxation and mindfulness.
Hello, and welcome. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here with me today. Whether you've had a morning that's already throwing curveballs at you, or you're sitting here feeling like your shoulders are somewhere near your ears, I want you to know you're exactly where you need to be. This is a space where we slow down together, and honestly, that's already half the battle won. I notice it's early morning for many of you, and there's something about that pre-dawn quietness that either feels like a gift or a time when your mind won't stop spinning. Either way, we're going to work with what's here. No judgment. Just breath and presence. So let's begin by getting comfortable. You can sit, lie down, or even stand if that feels better. The only rule is that you're here, and you're willing to give yourself just a few minutes. Take a moment and feel your body settling into whatever surface is holding you right now. Feel that support. Really feel it. Now, let's bring our attention to the breath. Not to change it or control it, but simply to notice it. Breathe in through your nose for a count of four, and as you do, imagine cool, fresh air like a gentle breeze on a quiet lake…
