An empowering day of easy simple movement, combined with deep breathing and focussed attention in the present moment.
We do this real easy, we do things that slowly build up vitality.
The first step; taking responsibility for you body. You can’t expect any one to heal you.
You can expect to be healed though, and it is essential that you do expect to be healed, but no one can heal you.
You have to take on the responsibility and heal yourself.
Accept help, but dont hand responsibility to anyone.
To start we concentrate on some simple things that are the core of our process.
Lets leap into improving the most important thing that we do in our life.
The thing we do every minute of our life and when we stop doing this, we stop living.
Yes breathing, the most important thing we do
and we are so bad at it.
We breath so shallowly, taking in the minimum amount of oxygen into our lungs, absorbing the minimum life force into our body.
We can learn how to breathe by looking at babies breathing.
They breathe so deeply so efficiently their little bellies expanding and contracting with each breath.
That’s how we should do it. We breathe deep into the bottom of our lungs, the diaphragm pushes down and our belly expands.
Try it, relax and breathe into the bottom of your lungs, feel the air flowing down, and the belly expanding.
Notice how much more air is coming in now. Pause for a couple of seconds.
Then let it out softly, smoothly, pause for a couple of seconds, and breathe in some more fresh clear air followed by releasing some cloudy, stale air.
In and out ,yin and yang. As effortlessly as a baby.
The only effort is at the end of the out breath when we squeeze out as much of the old as we can.
It doesn’t take long to get good at this.
However as soon as our concentration moves to something else we revert to our shallow pattern.
This is to be expected it has taken us many years to develop our breathing and we can't change our bad habits overnight.
Our breathing is a chronic problem but with some attention, intention and ornery persistence we can become perfect breathers.
This changes our lives!
It is not easy to change a lifetime habit but here are some benefits that make the effort worthwhile.
Much much more life force in the body - More oxygen, richer blood, more vitality.
Less Stress - It is almost impossible to avoid stress if you are breathing shallowly.
It is almost impossible to become stressed if you are breathing deeply.
The diaphragm pushes down and moves/massages the kidneys, liver, spleen, pancreas, stomach, colon and small intestines.
This brings life and movement to the organs supporting the digestive process.
The expansion of the belly starts to realign our structure , pushing out the lumbar curve realigning the sacrum.
This breathing and simple movement is so easy to do and so effective.
It all starts from here.
