May my inhale and my exhale,
help me let go of my need for order and control.
May I be with this breath,
to honor my feelings and my needs.
May the rise and fall of my belly,
allow me to rest and find myself.
May the life force within me,
return me to a place of equanimity.
May this ocean breath,
silent my mind and connect me to my heart and body.
May this breathing vessel,
soothe and anchor me when I feel paralyzed by anxiety.
May I chase the breath from my stomach to chest,
to ground me to this sacred moment at hand.
May this pranayama regulate me,
so I can soften and respond with ease.
May this breath of fire move in me,
to invite me to speak up and live out my dreams.
