Awaken with 5 · Prep week 1

Week 1: Welcome

Here's everything for this week. Watch the welcome video first, then start your daily practice.

Daily settle (about 10 minutes a day)

Your daily breathing. 5 minutes.

Open https://decentering.vercel.app/breathe and start Resonance Breathing. It's set to in for 4, out for 6, for 5 minutes.

This is the base. Everything else in these four weeks sits on top of it.

  • Sit upright, without effort. Feet on the floor. Let your shoulders drop.
  • Follow the pacer. In through your nose, out through your mouth. Keep it light, smaller than you think. Nothing here should feel forced.
  • If it feels tight, make the breath smaller, not harder.
  • If you get lightheaded, breathe normally for a few rounds, then pick the pacer back up.
  • Your attention will wander. When you notice, come back to the pacer. Noticing is the practice.

When the five minutes are up, go straight into the somatic settling audio.
