8 Minute Pause for a Busy Mind | Breathwork to Calm the Nervous System

from Beyond the Norm · host Beyond the Norm

This short guided breathwork practice is designed to help you slow down and return to yourself.In eight minutes you will move through a gentle coherent breathing rhythm, a vagus nerve activating breath, and a grounding moment that brings your awareness back into your body and your heart.This is the kind of practice I often guide clients through between meetings, before a difficult conversation, or at the end of a demanding day when the mind is busy and the body is carrying more than it should.You don’t need any experience with meditation or breathwork. Just find a quiet place, sit comfortably, and follow the rhythm of the breath.Sometimes the most supportive thing we can do is pause, breathe, and allow the nervous system to settle.You can return to this practice anytime you need a moment to reconnect with yourself.Please listen to this practice in a safe and comfortable environment.Do not listen while driving, cycling, swimming, or operating machinery.If you feel light-headed at any point simply return to your normal breathing rhythm.⚠️ Important Safety NotePlease do not listen while driving or operating machinery.This meditation is intended to be done lying down or seated in a safe, quiet space where you can fully relax.💜 SAVE this meditation and come back to it whenever your mind is racing, your body feels tense, or sleep feels difficult.Website:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/normaokellysystemiccoachLinkedIn:Google Reviews:Sign up for my Newsletter and hear about my latest events and offerings: ✨ If this meditation helps you sleep or relax, please like, save, share, rate and review — it really helps this work reach more people.Big love and Go Gently now Norma 💜
