Hello and welcome.
This is a simple relaxation activity.
Any relaxation activity that I share,
Whether it's this one,
Breathing patterns,
Positions,
Meditations,
Are all geared at relaxing your body,
Calming your nervous system,
Boosting your immune system,
And helping relieve stress during times of anxiety or overwhelming emotions.
This simple strategy can be used during meditation to help you access deeper states of relaxation as you anchor in positive emotions and begin to create a connection between the right and left hemispheres of the brain through simple touch.
The first position that I have shared on a different audio is called the self-love hug.
You can use that anytime,
Anywhere,
When you feel like you need to shift your energy and create that connection.
This is another strategy that you can also use during meditation or in the mornings before you get up from bed.
I do recommend that you use this same position as well as the orgasmic breath together to really feel the shifts in your body as your body let go of stress,
Anxiety,
And symptoms.
It's important whenever we do any of these strategies to use our awareness and become aware of what we feel like before we use this technique.
So if you have any tension or any stress or you feel any pressure in your body,
Notice it.
Then do the strategy and notice how you feel.
This is how you become more aware of the messages your body is sending you and helping you access deep states of relaxation.
Now to get into a dragonfly position,
You can interlock your hands together.
Interlocking the fingers creates a connection between both hemispheres of the brain.
Now that your hands are interlocked in front of you,
You pass them over your head and place your head resting inside the palm of both hands.
Now in that position you can lay back in a comfortable position resting on a pillow,
Keeping your back a little bit comfortable but arched with the support of a pillow in the lower back.
Now if you are flexible and very mobile,
You can rest your knees opening them outward and touch your feet together.
This is the position I call dragonfly.
Your toes and your feet are touching,
Your knees are wide apart and in this position you combine it with the orgasmic breath that I've taught before.
If you haven't had those instructions yet then go ahead and check out that audio so you combine the two strategies together and you can use these strategies both in the morning as you awaken and at night before you drift off to sleep.
These strategies help calm your nervous system,
Boost your immune system and relax you deeper and the more you use them the easier and more effective they become.
The other strategy can also be combined is the self-love hug but that one you can use anytime anywhere because you don't have to be laying back.
So now that you're in this position we're gonna do a simple countdown from 11 to 1.
Every time you hear an even number,
So the numbers 10,
The numbers 8 and the number 6,
You'll be squeezing the pelvic floor muscles holding briefly at the top of the inhale and then when I get to the next number,
Which would be an odd number,
You're gonna exhale and release all the muscles.
So you can begin now.
11,
10,
Inhale hold,
9,
8,
Inhale hold,
7,
6,
Inhale and hold,
5,
4,
Inhale and hold,
3,
2,
Inhale and hold,
1.
You have completed one full cycle of orgasmic breath with this dragonfly position.
To get more practice I definitely do invite you to try this several times a day especially in the morning and at night.
And remember to always become aware of what you feel like before so you can sense and notice the difference.
I hope you have a beautiful day and continue to practice these self-loving strategies.
This is Diane Vick.
Aloha!
