In a position of rest, place the palm of your hand to your chest. If it feels safe to do so, close your eyes. Feel where you may be carrying tension in your body. Release what you can.
Silently name and hold the first phrase as you inhale. Silently name and hold the second phrase as you exhale. Breathe deeply and slowly to start and adjust to what feels possible and right in your body. Choose and remain with a breath prayer for as long as you need.
Inhale: We honor this breath.
Exhale: We behold the beauty.
Inhale: I deserve more.
Exhale: I claim more.
Inhale: This flesh is sacred.
Exhale: I contain the divine.
