Breath is the bridge between the body and the mind. We can use the breath to bring balance to the body, mind, and heart. This guided breath meditation uses a technique designed to restore the body to its natural breathing rhythm when used regularly. Studies have shown that the benefits of breathing are endless, from reducing depression and anxiety to boosting the immune system. Twenty minutes a day of conscious breathing can have huge effects!

Returning to Rest gently guides you only until your own inner wisdom no longer needs a guide. Your body already knows how to rest. Your nervous system already remembers. Your breath already breathes. Nothing new needs to be learned. Returning to Rest is not another technique for falling asleep. It is a gentle invitation to rediscover the quiet intelligence that has always been within you. Rather than asking you to do more, this meditation gradually removes the effort that can stand between you and the rest your body naturally knows. Through gentle guidance, spacious silence, and the Healing Elements™ Triple A's process of Acknowledge, Accept, and Allow, you are invited to soften the need to control, fix, or achieve anything. As the meditation unfolds, even the guidance begins to fade, allowing the silence itself to become part of the experience. In that spaciousness, your body remembers what it has always known. Your breath finds its own effortless rhythm. Your nervous system begins to settle. Rest is no longer something to pursue, but something to receive. Whether you are preparing for sleep, awakening during the night, or simply longing for a moment of deep restoration, this meditation offers a compassionate space to be exactly as you are. You don't have to make rest happen. You simply allow yourself to remember that it has been quietly waiting for you all along.

The three-part breath is a simple yet powerful technique that can be practiced by anyone, anywhere. Dirgha Pranayama is the art of consciously breathing into your body's complete potential. It’s an intentional practice that turns a shallow sigh into a full-bodied wave, inviting your breath to touch the deep earth of your belly, rise through the strong currents of your ribs, and gently lift the horizon of your chest. This rhythmic, three-part expansion and release creates a feeling of total fullness and total peace, a complete breath for a complete you.

Personal intention is a powerful way to release what you no longer need and embrace your true Self. Want support in fulfilling your intention? Visit me at https://www.healingelementsforyou.com/ I encourage you to give yourself a moment to breathe in and out through your heart slowly. Release thought and allow your intention to arise from the wisdom of your heart. When words arise, write them down. See how these words that have arisen from your heart feel. Then adjust the wording of this intention as needed so your intention: 1) Only has positive words in it 2) Is stated in the present tense 3) Is short enough that you can easily remember it Repeat it upon waking, before sleep, throughout the day especially when you notice negative thoughts, and when prompted during this Yoga Nidra guided meditation. Here’s an example. I am a balanced, powerful, loving presence in the world.
