In this guided breathing reset for caregivers, Charlotte uses a gentle uplift breath: breathing in through the nose and breathing out slowly through pursed lips. T

his 5 minute breathing exercise is for the quiet kind of heaviness that builds when you keep going without much space to feel what is there. It offers small caregiver stress relief and a short breathing meditation to help your body soften and settle.

This episode is for moments when:

• you are holding in more than you can say
• you feel heavy in your body, even when the day keeps moving
• you need a small pause but do not have energy for much
• you want gentle caregiver stress relief without having to figure anything out

Listening Instructions

• You can listen seated, lying down, or wherever you are.
• Eyes open or closed.
• Just five minutes to soften your breath and let your body settle.
