breath work

This practice is best done sitting comfortably on a chair, 4-5 cycles. 

1. Find yourself in straight, and best as possible, upright position

2. Breath in, breath out

3. Guide your awareness to your ankles and gently cross your left over your right

4. Breath in, breath out

5. Bring your attention to your arms and extend them straight in front of you

6. Rotate your arms so the backs of your hands are facing

7. Gently bring your right hand over your left, palms now facing and interlock your fingers

8. Being mindful of your range of motion, keeping your hands interlocked, gently bring your hands down and towards your stomach then lift them up towards your chest. Allow your hands to rest here, elbows resting on the outside or your belly. (sort of like an awkward hug)

9. With you mouth closed, gently press the tip of your tongue to the back of your top-front teeth. Inhale through the nose (if possible)

10. Open your mouth and exhale slowly
