A wonderful meditation to explore various breathwork techniques that will support your transition from summer to fall with the breath of grounding, the breath of letting go, and the breath of balance (alternate nostril breathing).

Take a moment to notice the changes around you as summer fades and fall begins. Feel the cooler air on your skin, the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze, the shifting light of the season. Imagine these changes as a gentle invitation from nature to slow down, to turn inward, and to embrace the season of transition.

The body is always breathing for us. How often do you notice it? I mean really notice it with conscious effort? Sometimes our thought patterns can keep us away from noticing the breath. There isn’t enough space to focus – or so we think – but perhaps this space is exactly what we need to declutter the mind. If you feel that you have been ruminating or observing thought patterns, perhaps negative ones or thoughts that don’t serve you well – offer this pause in your day. Come back to this breathwork practice whenever you need to center yourself and bring your focus away from those thoughts and on to your breath.

As you breathe, bring your awareness to the areas of your body where you feel discomfort or tension. Imagine dissolving that area of tension or discomfort, whether physical, mental, or emotional. Become aware of where you feel this sense and use your breath to release it.
