We're going to work on our 360 degree breath the invitation is to come into a lying down position we'll be breathing into three parts of our chest our diaphragm,
The middle part and the upper part taking a deep breath in through your nose and then out through your nose just settling into your body as we inhale,
Our diaphragm drops down and our stomach rises so you may want to put a hand there to feel this sensation we're going to bring our full awareness and isolate the breath here remembering that we breathe not just at the front but around the back of our bodies then bringing our hands to our middle part of our chest we're going to isolate our breath in this area our lungs expand and contract with each inhale and exhale I'm going to isolate the breath here remembering the lungs are not just at the front but also at the back of your body what can you see here?
What does the breath hold for you?
Then bringing your hands to the top of your chest we're going to isolate the breath here notice how the breath brings the top of your chest up and down with each inhale and exhale and your lungs,
They actually reach the top of your collarbone so see if we can breathe into all the spaces of our lungs and our being now we've brought awareness to all these parts we're going to put them together in one long deep breath breathing into the diaphragm,
Expanding the stomach then breathing into the middle part of your chest and then the upper part full inhales,
Full exhales we feel ourself expanding like a balloon and our 360 degree being that we are feeling the full contraction,
The full expansion and let's take a full deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth in through the nose then out through the mouth we're going to inhale through the nose and hold it for five seconds inhale fully five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One exhale through the mouth and just witness how you feel after doing this practice
