Imagine you are a bear hibernating for the winter.
When bears hibernate, they take long, slow, deep breaths in and out, through their noses.
Take a long breath in through your nose, and let it all the way out.
Take another long breath in through your nose.
Let it all the way out.
Keep breathing like this and feel how relaxed and warm and safe you are in your cozy bear cave.
Once more, take a long breath in through your nose, and let it all the way out.
