Appendix C: Mindful Breathing Survival Guide Video Transcript

Video: Mindful Breathing Survival Guide

Narrator (audio): sitting comfortably take a big deep breath

in through the nose

out through the mouth

as you breathe in notice how the body expands

as you breathe out notice how the body softens

gently close the eyes or keep a soft focus

notice how the inhale is different from the exhale

notice the cool air as it enters the nose

warm air as it leaves

don’t try to change the breath

observe without judgement

watch the gentle rise and fall of the stomach

with each breath in and out

allow thoughts to come and go…

and when you’re ready gently open the eyes again
