This is one of my favorite ways to gently come back to your body.
(Especially for women who are always holding space for others.)
Over the years, I’ve heard this advice countless times:
“Just take a deep breath.”
But when your spirit feels heavy, your energy scattered, or your body tense…
That one deep breath? Often not enough.
Because when your nervous system is activated
You can’t think your way back to peace.
You have to feel your way there.
So here’s what I recommend instead:
1. Stand barefoot (or plant your feet firmly).
2. Close your eyes. Soften your jaw.
3. Inhale through your nose for 4 slow counts.
4. Exhale through your mouth for 6 long counts.
5. Place one hand over your heart, the other on your belly.
6. Exhale again, and feel yourself soften.
It’s not just breathwork.
It’s a reunion with your body, your Spirit, your center.
This simple practice says to your system: “We’re safe. You can stop bracing now.”
And when you do it before a call, a decision, or a full day of being everything to everyone…
You show up more grounded, more spacious, more you.
