Welcome to this practice.
Today we're going to be using your breath to energize your entire system,
The same way that a strong morning coffee might.
This morning breath technique is ideal for a daily ritual to help waken and energize,
To provide clarity and momentum before heading into the rest of your day.
What we're about to do is simple,
Potent and fast acting,
A natural expresso shot for the body and mind if you will.
When we start to breathe together,
I'll invite you to join me for 3 rounds of 30 euphoric breaths.
Inhaling through the nose,
Exhaling through the mouth.
When we've completed the 30 breaths,
We'll take a big inhale,
Hold it,
Squeeze the body to activate it,
And then after 10 seconds release the breath,
Emptying the lungs and relaxing the body as you do.
Once the lungs are empty,
We'll hold the empty lungs for 30 seconds.
You'll then be invited to take a final deep inhale and with an open mouth and a cathartic sigh just release the breath to end that round.
At any stage if the breath holds are too much,
Simply release them early.
This practice may not be for everyone.
If you're pregnant,
Have epilepsy,
Uncontrolled high blood pressure,
Cardiovascular concerns or any condition affected by breath retention,
Then I'd recommend not doing it.
Do not practice while driving,
In water or anywhere that you could lose your balance and hurt yourself.
Okay,

The body resets in this pause.

Alert energy that you have created.

Your body is awake.
Your day has already shifted.
This breath work is your new morning coffee.
A natural,
Powerful way to energize your body and unlock your focus and creativity.
I look forward to sharing this practice again with you soon.
But until then,
Have a wonderful day.
Namaste.
