BREATHE

Your breath is always with you.

How does a blue whale breathe? Go check it out! And do you know, it

can absorb 90% of the oxygen that it breathes in, while we humans can

only absorb 15%.

Let’s practise breathing like a blue whale! Take a deep breath in and

balloon your belly (notice your stomach rising) and as you breathe out,

notice how your belly flattens. If you want, place a soft toy on your

belly and notice it rising and falling as you breathe in and out. Repeat

this cycle 5 to 9 times a day, especially when you feel upset, angry or

sad. Use your breath to support you in life.

Draw your belly here when you breathe in.
