About this session
- Grounds your body
- Releases tension
- Clears your head
- Sets your intention
Bradley Morris leads you through sixteen minutes of breathwork that moves from sighing out stress to a slow, spinning image: with each exhale, your spine twists downward like a drill into the ground beneath you, and the earth's energy rises back through you. A tongue-to-palate breath along the spine comes in the middle.
It suits the start of the day, when you want to arrive in your body before messages and plans take over. Use it after waking, before a busy stretch, or any time you feel scattered and want to feel steadier and more like yourself.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is the breathing pattern in this practice?
You begin with deep belly breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth as a audible sigh of relief. Later the pattern changes: some rounds breathe in through the mouth, and others out through the nose. Each round carries a small intention, such as reconnecting to what is real, or letting go of doubt, shame or lack.
What is the spiral spine image for?
Around the ten-minute mark you imagine your spine as a corkscrew. On each exhale it turns clockwise, down through your seat and deep into the ground, softening your muscles and face. On the inhale, the earth's energy rises into you, bringing balance. It gives your attention one concrete motion to follow.
Why touch the tongue to the roof of the mouth?
Just after the nine-minute mark, you are asked to rest the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth. From there you breathe in and out through the nose and run energy up and down the spine. It sets up the slower, steadier breathing that leads into the spiral image.
What happens during the long quiet stretch?
After the spiral is in place, the voice steps back for about two minutes. You simply stay aware of the earth beneath you and the connection you feel, with no new instructions. When Bradley returns, you pull the energy in once more and sigh it out.
What does giving and receiving mean here?
The practice treats each breath as an exchange: you breathe in to receive life, then breathe out to give it back with gratitude. Near the end it calls this a dance that is always happening. It is a way to feel supported rather than alone in carrying the day.
What are the closing questions about?
In the last minute you ask yourself what your intention is for the rest of the day, how you will move through each moment and interaction, who you choose to be, and how you will show up. You can carry whichever answer comes into your first conversation or task.
