Transcript

Smile and learn. Today we are going to learn a mindfulness technique known as be breathing. [Music] What a fun name, right? Listen carefully to all the following steps. [Music] Sit on the floor in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and imagine that you were a tiny bee buzzing through the forest. The sky is blue with little clouds that look like cotton. [Music] Breathe in deeply, noting how the air enters your nose and fills your lungs. Now breathe out through your mouth very slowly. Again, breathe in and breathe out. Once again, breathe in and breathe out. One last time. Breathe in. And breathe out. Remember to keep your eyes closed. Now cover your ears with your index fingers. Breathe in and with your lips together, make a sound like a bee makes when it flies. [Music] Go between buzzing loudly and quietly, paying very close attention to the vibration of your body as you do it. Repeat three more times. Breathe in and the B sound. M another breathe in and the B sound. H. What happens in your body when you increase the intensity of the sound? Try it again and focus on how you feel. Breathe in and a loud B sound. What happens when you buzz more quietly? Let's try. Breathe in and a soft B sound. [Music] Repeat this process one more time, buzzing softly and little by little grow louder. Feel how tension is released from all parts of your body and pay attention to how different intensities affect it. I'll let you try it on your own for a minute. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] Well done. Now you can take your fingers out of your ears, but don't open your eyes yet. To finish, we're going to take a deep breath together once again. Breathe in and breathe out slowly again. Breathe in and breathe out slowly. Very good. Now you can open your eyes. Stand up slowly and carefully. How do you feel? When we focus on breathing, we don't think about other things. This can help us to calm down and be present in the moment.
