Day5: Grateful Breath

We made it to Day 5. I am so grateful for you and the time you’ve given to focus on your breathwork. Using your mind and breath to shape the world you want to live in creates waves of changes for good. As we experience positive emotions such as gratitude, loving-kindness, and compassion, our awareness broadens and our creativity and problem-solving capacities blossom.

So let’s get us summat good stuff, shall we?

Begin with a thorough and gentle body wave, moving the shoulders side to side as the hips move to the other side. Then slowly lift your shoulders and roll them down your back for several repetitions. Ahhhhhhh.

Now, find a comfy spot. You can be sitting on a cushion or lying down on your back. I love to do this in one of my fave #chillasanahhh poses: *legs up the wall.*

  • Place one hand on your heart; and rest the other hand on your stomach.. Close your eyes if that feels right (not if you’re driving! 🙂 )
  • Breathe in fresh cool air through your nose. As you breathe out through your nose, send gratitude to your body for allowing you to move around in this world.
  • Breathe in fresh cool air through your nose. As you breathe out through your nose, send gratitude out to someone who means a great deal to you.
  • Breathe in fresh cool air through your nose. As you breathe out through your nose, send gratitude out to someone who bugs ya.
  • Breathe in fresh cool air through your nose. As you breathe out through your nose, send gratitude to the earth for offering us this beautiful space to live in.
  • Breathe in fresh cool air through your nose. As you breathe out through your nose, send gratitude to whomever or whatever moves you.
  • Repeat as necessary.
  • When you feel complete and have sent your gratitude to all and sundry, take a deep breath in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth so that your lips flap joyfully in your breath.
  • Repeat and make a bigger noise on the outbreath.
  • Wiggle you fingers and toes … and when you’re ready open your eyes.

Well done, you! I hope you found these exercises useful. And even if you don’t need them right now, they are always here for you.

I’ll send a wrap-up note … until then please continue to breathe deeply … and live richly!

Common Sense Disclaimer: Use your best judgment when attempting breathwork or movement. If it doesn’t feel right or you can’t, then don’t. Breathwork and movement are infinitely scalable. Find what works for you and feel free to speak with your healthcare team about what you’re feeling. Choose well.

On Day 3 of our last #breathwork online thingy, we got into *sighing on purpose* … the how’s and the why’s —-> purposefully taking shorter breaths in followed by long slow breaths out to release the day.
When your hunka-hunka needs a short & sweet bio, you put on your rusty ol’ marketing cap to pitch in.
