Magic Minis #2The 12/12 Portal Reset: Ground Yourself With the Extended Exhale
What if a single breath could bring you back into alignment?
On this 12/12 energetic portal, a day symbolizing clarity, completion, and stepping into a new cycle, I’m sharing a simple grounding Breathwork technique you can use anytime you feel overwhelmed or overstimulated.
This Magic Mini is all about slowing down, softening your system, and reconnecting with who you’re becoming as the year comes to a close.
The holidays can stir up noise… expectations… emotional triggers… and all the energy that pulls us out of ourselves. But your breath is always your anchor. And today, we’re tapping into the extended exhale, a nervous system reset that mirrors the energy of 12/12 beautifully.
This practice is tiny, accessible, and powerful. No mat. No quiet room. Just you, your intention, and your breath.
🔹 In this Magic Mini, listeners will learn:
- What the 12/12 portal represents energetically (even if you’re not into numerology).
- Why the extended exhale breath is the perfect nervous system reset for this time of year.
- How lengthening your exhale signals safety to your body
- Everyday moments when this breath can help you ground instantly
- A simple guided 3–6 breath pattern you can use anytime, anywhere

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.160
Welcome to Breathwork Magic, the podcast that explores the life-changing power of your breath.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:24.559
Breathwork isn't just a practice, it's a gateway to healing, transformation, and shifting to a new mindset by letting go of the past and embracing the possibilities of the present moment.
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:34.799
I'm Amanda Russo, your host, a certified breathwork facilitator, level two Reiki practitioner, and creator of the Mando's Mindset Podcast.
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:49.119
On my own journey, Breathwork has been a powerful tool for releasing what no longer serves me and shifting my perspective to step into my fullest and greatest potential.
00:00:49.679 --> 00:01:08.480
Each week, I'm joined by inspiring guests, breathwork facilitators, healers, and wellness enthusiasts who share how this practice has helped them and their clients heal, grow, and embrace lasting change.
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:13.120
So take a deep breath in and out.
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:22.159
Settle in and let's explore the magic of your breath together.
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.359
The transformation starts now.
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.719
I'm your host, Amina Vuso, the breathing goddess.
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.400
And today is 1212.
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:18.319
A portal and a day that symbolizes alignment, clarity, and stepping into a new energetic cycle.
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:31.680
So I wanted to share the simple grounding breathing technique that you can use throughout the rest of the month, especially during the holiday chaos.
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.680
This time of year can feel over-stimulating.
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:49.360
Busy schedules, family dynamics, different expectations, emotional triggers, all the noise.
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:56.639
Your breath is the fastest way to come home to yourself.
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:03.919
No matter what's happening around you, no matter where you are, no matter who you're around.
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.360
You always have your breath.
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:16.240
Spiritually, twelve twelve is known as an energetic portal.
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:22.240
It's also the last big one of the year.
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:29.680
It's like a moment of clarity, completion, and alignment.
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:42.080
It's almost like the universe is handing them a reset button and saying, What are you still carrying that you don't need?
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.560
And who are you becoming next?
00:03:47.599 --> 00:04:16.319
And even if you're not into the spiritual or numerology side of it, think of today as a natural pause, a symbolic moment before the holidays and before the new year, where you can reset your nervous system, reflect, and reconnect with your intention.
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:24.800
That's why the breathing technique we're doing today is the extended exhale breath.
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:31.040
Because it matches the energy of 1212 perfectly.
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:49.519
It slows the nervous system down, it clears the noise, and it helps you step into what's next with intention instead of overwhelming.
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.319
So here's how it works.
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:59.759
You inhale for a count of three, and you exhale for a count of six.
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:06.000
The magic isn't in the numbers, it's in the exhale.
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:16.079
That's what tells and signals your nervous system to hear and feel you're safe.
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.439
You can soften, you can release.
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:28.720
Now I invite you to do this guided breathing technique with me.
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:35.519
And we are going to inhale for a count of three and exhale for a count of six.
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:37.920
Okay, do it with me.
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:51.199
Inhale, two, three, exhale, two, three, four, five, six.
00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:14.079
And again, inhale, two, three, exhale, two, three, four, five, six, one more time.
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:29.439
Inhale, two, three, exhale, two, three, four, five, six.
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:32.319
Sigh out.
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.759
Let your breath return to normal.
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.040
This breathing technique is tiny.
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.839
It's short, but it's powerful.
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:57.439
You can use it anytime you feel overwhelmed in the car before going inside somewhere.
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:06.319
If someone triggers you, when you're overstimulated, or when your mind doubt spiraling.
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.399
You can always tap back into your breath.
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:20.480
On its 12-12 quarter, let this breath be your reminder.
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:24.000
That you're allowed to slow down.
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.360
You're allowed to reset.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:37.279
And you're allowed to choose how you show up for the rest of the year.
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:47.199
I am wishing you a grounded 1212 and a loving and peaceful holiday season.
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:53.920
Thank you guys so much for tuning in to this episode of Breathwork Magic.

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:25.920
Remember, as long as you have your breath, you have options.
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.079
Do not stuff.
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:29.759
You can make a change.
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:31.040
You can make a change.
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.039
Each in-hell is a new beginner.
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.759
And every episode is a chance.
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.960
So let's go of what no longer.
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.159
If you enjoyed the episode, it wouldn't be the water.
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.320
If you should read it all.
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:56.480

And today is 1212.
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:18.319
A portal and a day that symbolizes alignment, clarity, and stepping into a new energetic cycle.
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:31.680
So I wanted to share the simple grounding breathing technique that you can use throughout the rest of the month, especially during the holiday chaos.
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.680

Busy schedules, family dynamics, different expectations, emotional triggers, all the noise.
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:56.639
Your breath is the fastest way to come home to yourself.
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:03.919
No matter what's happening around you, no matter where you are, no matter who you're around.
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.360
You always have your breath.
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:16.240
Spiritually, twelve twelve is known as an energetic portal.
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:22.240
It's also the last big one of the year.
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:29.680

00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:24.800
That's why the breathing technique we're doing today is the extended exhale breath.
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:31.040
Because it matches the energy of 1212 perfectly.
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:49.519
It slows the nervous system down, it clears the noise, and it helps you step into what's next with intention instead of overwhelming.
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.319
So here's how it works.
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:59.759
You inhale for a count of three, and you exhale for a count of six.
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:06.000
The magic isn't in the numbers, it's in the exhale.
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:16.079
That's what tells and signals your nervous system to hear and feel you're safe.
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.439
You can soften, you can release.
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:28.720
Now I invite you to do this guided breathing technique with me.
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:35.519
And we are going to inhale for a count of three and exhale for a count of six.
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:37.920
Okay, do it with me.
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:51.199
Inhale, two, three, exhale, two, three, four, five, six.
00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:14.079
And again, inhale, two, three, exhale, two, three, four, five, six, one more time.
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:29.439
Inhale, two, three, exhale, two, three, four, five, six.
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:32.319
Sigh out.
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.759
Let your breath return to normal.
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.040
This breathing technique is tiny.
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.839
It's short, but it's powerful.
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:57.439
You can use it anytime you feel overwhelmed in the car before going inside somewhere.
