A Gentle Practice for Seasonal Support

As we move through this transitional time of year, many of us are navigating coughs, colds, and lingering viruses. This practice focuses on gentle breathing and nurturing massage around the sinuses, nose, and face - areas deeply connected to our immune response and to the quality of the air we take in through the nose.

Settling In With Comfort and Warmth

We begin by finding a comfortable position where you feel warm, supported, and at ease. This practice is intentionally soft, especially if you’re feeling congested. You always have agency here, to shift, adjust, or completely change position whenever your body asks. The foundation of this session is compassion: listening inwardly, honouring where you are, and letting relevance guide you rather than expectation.

Arriving With the Breath

Once settled, we gently tune toward the breath with closed eyes, noticing where it sits in the body, the movement it creates, and the subtle textures of inhalation and exhalation. There’s no goal of changing or improving anything. Instead, we offer mindful attention, witnessing the breath as it is, and allowing its spontaneous shifts to unfold naturally.

A Practice in Kind Observation

Throughout, we breathe through the nose where possible, sensing the quality of airflow and staying open to whatever arises. The invitation is to hold an attitude of spacious self-enquiry, guided by kindness and a pace that feels right for you.

This practice weaves together breath awareness, gentle facial massage, and compassionate presence, supporting ease in the respiratory passages and offering the nervous system a soft place to settle.
