  SPEAKER_00: You don't need to carve out extra time or find a special space.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: You can do this wherever you are, between meetings, in your car, or before you start your day, or go to sleep.

  SPEAKER_00: All you need is your breath and a willingness to slow down for just a minute or two.

  SPEAKER_00: Let's begin.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: Notice your breath as it is.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: No need to change it.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: Just let it arrive.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: Now inhale gently through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Feel your shoulders melting down your back.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: Let your jaw unclench.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: And allow your belly to expand and release.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: This time, as you inhale, notice the tiny pause at the top.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: The stillness before the exhale begins.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: And as you exhale, notice the stillness at the bottom of your breath, that quiet space before your next breath.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: Do this a few times, just noticing.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: The stillness before the exhale begins, and that quiet space before your next breath.

  SPEAKER_00: Rest there.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: That pause is presence.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: That pause is peace.

  SPEAKER_00: You don't need to do anything to earn it.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: You simply get to notice it.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: Take one more slow, gentle breath in.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: And release.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: In this moment between breaths, you've returned to yourself, balanced, grounded, and open to possibility.
