Welcome back to anxiety's lair. This week we'd like to

share a guided breathing practice with you.

It's called the Mindful Connection Breathing Practice and it combines grinding techniques with breathing and embodied awareness to help you get out of your head and back into your body, which is one of the key steps in feeling more calm helping you overcome anxiety.

This guided practice is one of several practices featured in our free anxiety slayer starter course which you can find at

anxiety Slayer dot teachable.com.

Mindful Connection, connection, breathing practice.

Take a slow deep breath in

and direct your attention down your body towards your feet.

Hold your breath for a moment and release it slowly in a long exhale.

Take another deep breath in and begin noticing your feet with fresh curiosity.

Pause with your breath for a moment.

And as you release your breath in a long slow exhale see if you can sense the temperature of your feet.

Take another breath in. Hold it for a moment.

And as you exhale slowly, this time see if you can help your feet relax a little bit more.

Bring another breath deeply into your body.

Clinch your toes and as you breathe out,

relax your toes.

And repeat one more time, breathing deeply in, clench your toes.

And breathing out, relax your task.

With your next breath in,

bring your awareness to the area of your belly.

Notice if it expands as you inhale, and sinks back down as you exhale now.
