Ocean Breathing

We're going to let the ocean set the pace, so your mind doesn't have to.

In for four. Hold for two. Out for six. Let the out-breath be the longest part.

The water doesn't rush. It doesn't apologize for the pause between waves.

If your thoughts wander, that's fine. Wandering is what minds do. Just come back to the next breath.

Each exhale, let your shoulders drop a little further from your ears.

There is nothing you need to earn in this ten minutes.

Keep going. Slow in. Slow out. The tide will keep you company.
