For Stability and Grounding
Begin by finding a comfortable seated position. Close your eyes gently and focus on your breath. Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four, hold for a count of four, and exhale slowly for a count of six.
Run through a series of five breath cycles, following the rhythm of inhaling for four counts, holding for four counts, and exhaling for six counts. As you continue this healing breathwork, visualize roots extending from the base of your spine, anchoring you to the earth.
With each inhale, draw in stability and healing energy for your lungs from the earth's core. As you exhale, release any tension, allowing your body to find a sense of calm. To exit, slowly open your eyes, bringing your awareness back to the present moment. Take a few deep breaths before standing or resuming your activities.
