Counting breaths
Count slow breaths down from ten, then let the counting go.

Spinn Originals play softly under the voice and step back while it speaks. If a workout is playing its soundtrack, that carries on instead.
Read the words
- This is counting breaths for sleep. You are in bed, the lights are off, and there is nothing left to do today.
- Settle into the position you usually sleep in. Let your eyes close.
- Take a slow breath in.
- And a long, easy breath out.
- Now let your breathing find its own pace. Breathing normally is always fine.
- We will count breaths slowly, from ten down to one. Count each one as you breathe out.
- If you lose your place, start again at ten. It does not matter how many times.
- Breathe in. And out, ten.
- In. And out, nine.
- In. And out, eight.
- Seven.
- Six.
- Five.
- Four.
- Three.
- Two.
- One.
- Now carry on by yourself. Start again at ten, and count down at your own pace.
- If you reach one, begin again at ten. If you lose count, that is fine too.
- Let the numbers get slower and quieter.
- You can let the counting go whenever you like.
- Just breathing.
- Let yourself drift into sleep.
