A
client recently asked me to write up how to do the in and out
breathing. It is practiced in nearly every private session and class
I conduct and is extremely useful and valuable to getting yourself in
a calmer, present and peaceful state of being. I like to precede
sessions with this preparatory technique.
This
exercise calms the body, emotions, mind and spirit, and gets rid of
unwanted internal toxins, energies and carbon dioxide through the
exhaling breath. The inhaling breath brings in new fresh energies
that are desired by the participant.
Here
is an example of how to do it. You can bring in your own ideas and
add to this. Do rush through it or drag the breathing out too long.
Find a comfortable pace which allows for a natural rhythm of
breathing.
