Awareness Through Movement #187

Breathing rhythmically #4 (on both sides) - Megan Hopley

YES, more breathing tonight, this time with Megan’s gentle voice walking us through some more rhythms to pace ourselves and cleanse our bodies as we build our muscles to breathe in, pause, breathe out, and pause. It helped today when I went to an acupuncture clinic based on the recommendation of a friend, it seemed the opportune time to practice expanding my chest with really, literally spikey bits sticking out… and a big internal grin.

What’s really happening with these expansion and contraction movements? This tensegrity site has me wonder ← read more, it’s a link

I don’t know about you, I seem to be a lot more attentive to the power of breathing cyclically, it seems to slow things down and settle my system… and somehow warm me up. I’m feeling much lighter lately too :)

What about you? Is this breathing thing starting to get interesting? Have you noticed when you catch or hold your breath?
