 Hello, my name is Vonda Vaiden-Bates and since 2012 after my husband died from a hospital associated condition, I have dedicated my life to the advocating of the safe delivery of medical care for those who give it, receive it and support it. And one thing that neuroimagery and evidence-based research is showing us is that when we can effectively navigate our breath and our physiological awareness, we can support our attention as well as our stress. Maybe this next recording will support you in doing just that. You can use this recording to take a few minutes to pause and pay attention to your breath. Noticing the breath is a very fundamental and supportive attention. Simply by noticing the breath, many will find that they are even calmed. Notice where your inhalation goes within the body. When you inhale, does it go to your throat, chest, veins? Notice your exhalation. For how many seconds do you exhale? Again, now notice the inhalation. For how many seconds do you inhale? Do you notice any holding of the breath? You may notice that your breath rate and the qualities of your breath will begin to naturally change as you continue to pay attention to your breath. Thank you.
