Grounded Breath & Psychological Sigh
by Larissa Link
First settle into your body, then notice your breath, and take the last few minutes of this meditation to consciously adjust your breath using the "psychological sigh" to hone your concentration, and possibly shift your energy. From the meditation, "The smallest adjustment can make such a difference, so that you're setting yourself up with gentleness, setting yourself up for success, rather than forcing yourself to stay. Whether you're seated, reclined, or standing, or some other variation in between, just start to notice what parts of you are contacting the Earth, through a chair, your shoes. Notice that firm foundation beneath you. And is it possible with these next couple of exhales to settle a little deeper into that foundation? Just allow yourself to soften your jaw, soften your shoulders, look for any resistance or tension in your body. You can release all of that on your exhale, letting the foundation beneath you hold you, and allowing yourself to rest into that holding."
