Ever heard of box breathing? It is actually just what it sounds like. Inhale for a count, hold for same count, exhale same, hold for same. It's a beautiful breath practice to use anytime you need to ground and settle - great for anxiety and panic attacks. In this practice we start with 4 count box, move to 5 count and then finish with 6 count box. You can of course go higher but really it's the method that works well - not the number count so do what feels intuitively right for you!
Nadi Shodhana is one of my very favorite breath practices as it brings energy back to balance - helping balance the Yin and Yang, left and right, sun and moon sides of the body/mind. This simple little breath is great ANY TIME and can be used to crown your Yin or Restorative practice for a deepe...
People who practice daily gratitude, research shows, live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. Let's be honest - humans are hardwired to see more negative than positive so what we need to do is TRAIN our minds to be more grateful.
That's what this is all about - taking a few momen...
Sometimes we need to meditate AND breathe but we just cannot settle down enough to do it. How about melding the two with movement in a lovely and short movement meditation? This practice uses the Daoist breath to help synchronize the mind, body, and spirit. Enjoy!
