One can't see the claimed sentence structure in the spoken word, and one isn't given the whole passage here. That said, the use of multiple ing-clauses is at best highly stylised (at worst unidiomatic) ... though it does avoid the didactic series of instructions ("Take a moment to .... Just take a big deep breath: breathe in through.... As you breathe out, just gently close the ...)". | |
