In and Out Breathing to Release Toxins

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.

Breathe in fresh oxygen. Breathe out stale carbon dioxide.

Breathe in expansion. Breathe out constriction.

Breathe in divine love. Breathe out anything not unconditional love or compassion.

Breathe in divine light. Breathe out anything not of the light.

Breathe in harmony. Breathe out inharmony.

Breathe in balance. Breathe out imbalance.

Breathe in prosperity. Breathe out poverty.

Breathe in peace. Breathe out anxiety.

Breathe in gratitude. Breathe out ingratitude.

Breathe in hope. Breathe out fear.

Breathe in laughter. Breathe out grumpiness.

Breathe in faith. Breathe out doubt.

Breathe in abundance. Breathe out lack.

Breathe in health. Breathe out illness.

Breathe in joy. Breathe out sadness.

Breathe in clarity. Breathe out confusion.

Breathe in balanced activity. Breathe out inertia.

Breathe in sharing. Breathe out greed.

Breathe in cheerfulness. Breathe out self pity.

Breathe in self-realization. Breathe out incomprehension.

Breathe in Christ Consciousness. Breathe out ego consciousness.

Breathe in transformation. Breathe out blockage.

Breathe in empowerment. Breathe out disempowerment.

Breathe in responsibility. Breathe out blame.

Breathe in expression. Breathe out repression.

Breathe in optimism. Breathe out pessimism.

Breathe in Oneness. Breathe out separation.

Now breath normally.


Of course, you will probably only do a few of these at a time. Select the ones most appropriate at the moment. Think up some of your own.
