Welcome to this short practice on re-energizing at work,
Before a meeting or just maybe you
Have an afternoon dip in energy.
This practice will help you to feel more energized and focused so you can continue your day.
First we'll start with the breath.
I'll give you some space to take three comfortable deep breaths at your own pace.
Beautiful.
Now we'll continue with some gentle breath work.
This is called the 6-2 breath.
Exhale the breath that you are on now.
And now inhale for 6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1 and exhale quickly for 2,
1.
Inhale 6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Exhale 2,
1.
Inhale for 6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1 and exhale fully for 2,
1.
Beautiful.
Notice how this makes you feel.
Let's do one more round.
If you feel lightheaded or dizzy or it's too much,
You can opt out and simply breathe deeply.
So exhale the breath that you are on now.
And then we'll inhale for 6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1 and exhale for 2,
1.
Inhale 6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Exhale for 2,
1.
Last time.
Inhale for 6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Exhale for 2,
1.
Now allow your breath to find its natural rhythm.
Now we'll continue with some gentle tapping on your arms and your legs.
So make fists with both your hands and start to tap on your legs,
On your arms.
Tapping on the sidelines of your body,
The front lines of your body.
Tapping on your knees.
And breathe deeply while you are tapping with your fists.
And brings us out of a tired feeling.
Gently slow down the tapping until you come to a stop.
If this is available to you,
If you have some more time,
This is optional.
You can try the yoga position of legs up against a wall.
So if you have a wall available to you and you have an extra 5 or 10 minutes to spare,
I recommend that you go towards this wall,
Sit on the floor with your left or right side against the wall.
Then allow your legs to gently rise up and turn your body so that you are facing the wall
And that there is just a little bit of space between your hips and the wall.
You can stay in this position for 5 until 20 minutes.
This is of course optional.
This will increase your blood flow,
Activate your lymphatic ducts and you will notice a big shift in energy.
This is one of my personal favorites and I will give you the choice to practice it today.
Maybe you are at work and this is not available to you.
Once you have finished your legs up against the wall for 5 until maximum 20 minutes,
Please come down gently and rest for a few seconds.
Don't get up too fast.
Allow your body to regulate itself.
Thank you so much for practicing with me today and breathing and tapping with me.
Let me know how this went for you and I look forward to seeing you soon.
