    Why a Breath Practice Helps on Father’s Day

    • Regulates the nervous system: slow exhales signal safety.
    • Makes space for emotion: breath anchors you when memories swell.
    • Builds a ritual: a simple, repeatable practice you can return to each year.

    Breath of Love: 3-Minute Practice

    1. Sit with feet grounded. Unclench your jaw, hands, and belly.
    2. Place a hand on heart. Inhale 4, exhale 6 (repeat 6 rounds).
    3. On each exhale, silently say: “I am held.”
    4. Finish with one sentence in a journal: “Today I’m honoring…”

    Gentle Movement Options

    • Seated cat–cow for 60 seconds
    • Shoulder rolls (5 each direction)
    • Hand-over-heart swaying side to side for one minute

    Go slow. Stop anytime. Your pace is enough.
