"Spin a thread of gold with your breath. Focus gently, let go completely."

The 'Golden Thread' is a classic relaxation visualization. It gives your mind a visual focus point during the exhale, preventing distraction. By imagining you are blowing a thin golden thread away from you, you naturally purse your lips and extend the breath, which physically calms the vagus nerve.

When to listen

  • During the transition phase.
  • When you need a single point of focus.
  • If you find other breathing techniques hard to follow.
  • To soften the jaw and face muscles.

What you'll practice

  • Softening the lips and jaw.
  • Visualizing a golden light leaving your mouth.
  • Watching the thread drift away gently.
  • Letting tension leave with the thread.
This session is designed to support relaxation and preparation. It is not medical care and does not replace guidance from healthcare professionals.
