Hello,
This is davidji and welcome to the daily insight.
Let's find a comfortable place to sit or lie down.
Get as comfortable as possible.
And together let's take a long,
Slow,
Deep breath in.
And gently let that go.
Let your eyes gently float closed.
Another long,
Slow,
Deep breath in.
And gently release it.
And now notice your breath.
Notice whether you're breathing in through your nose,
Your mouth,
Whether one nostril,
Is more open.
How deep the breath is going.
Do you feel it in the upper part of your chest?
In your heart?
Your rib cage?
Your diaphragm a little bit below the rib cage?
Is it going down deep into your belly?
Just watch it.
Just witness it.
Let's explore how following our breath connects us to the present moment.
Let's breathe into the top of our chest.
Feel that breath actually touch our neck area,
Our clavicle.
Notice it's a shallower breath and gently breathe that out.
Drift down a little bit to your heart.
Again long,
Slow,
Deep breath into your heart.
And let that go.
This is all through your mouth.
Drift a little down to where your rib cage meets.
Breathe into that space and feel free to place your fingertips on this space,
Wherever you're breathing into.
Let that go.
Now to our solar plexus,
Our Manipura.
It's about four inches or so above your belly button.
Let that go.
Now place your thumb on your belly button.
Just breathe into our belly button.
And gently let that go.
Now rest your palm on that area below your belly button.
Breathe into that,
Your lower belly.
Let that go.
Also notice we can go from the very,
Very top of our chest to the very bottom of our belly.
And in each of those spaces we breathe differently.
We feel differently.
We feel different things.
We've been breathing through our mouth.
Let's do the same thing with our nose.
Place your fingertips on the first bones that you feel below your neck.
And breathe into it through your nose.
And exhale through your nose again.
Down to your rib cage.
Breathe in through your nose.
And breathe out through your nose.
A little lower.
Feel your heart.
Breathe into your heart through your nose.
And let that go.
And now that space right below where your rib cage meets through your nose.
And let that go.
Fingertips now to your Manipura Chakra,
Your solar plexus.
Breathe in through your nose.
And release that.
Thumb on your belly button.
Breathe in through your nose.
And let that go.
And now rest your palm on that area below your belly button and breathe in through your nose.
And release that.
And now drift your fingertips to any place that you feel may be constricted on that path from your throat to your lower belly.
Just rest your fingertips on that space.
And breathe and witness.
Just breath and witness.
You You You You just breathe and witness You You You Just breathe and witness You now take a long slow deep breath in And gently let that go You invite an intention into your heart right now something you'd like to see unfold today stay in the space You invite it in and breathe invite it in and breathe You invite it in and breathe Plant it like a seed in that fertile soil of your heart Deep breath in then let it go When it feels comfortable you can slowly open your eyes And now you've got the present moment inside of you as you move throughout the day To help you become more creative more patient calmer more expansive and more abundant rock on
