Hello,
This is Kevin from Highly Meditated,
And I'm here sharing one of my favorite practices with you,
And that is breathwork.
This tool has literally changed my life.
It's very powerful,
And because it's so powerful,
I want you to really fully understand the benefits of it and what can come up.
So before we breathe,
If you have not gotten the guide that accompanies this,
I suggest you do that.
You can get it on my Instagram at HighlyMeditated.
Co.
You can also get it at my website,
Which is HighlyMeditated.
Co.
So with all that said,
We can begin to explore what this practice is.
It's called the three-part breathing technique or triad breath,
And it's called three parts because,
Well,
There's three parts.
The first part is into the belly,
The next part is into the chest,
And then a passive exhale.
Belly,
Heart,
Exhale.
The whole thing is done through an open mouth,
So the entire time we have our mouth open and we're just breathing.
Today is going to be a very short,
Maybe four,
Five minute practice of this breath,
And I encourage you to explore this breath going deeper,
But for today,
We're just going to start nice and easy.
We're going to take it easy and we're just going to start to feel the effects and the benefit of this breath.
So with all that said,
Let's go ahead and dive into this.
So just get nice and comfortable.
Preferably you're seated here to get started.
You can make your way to lying down because you can definitely get lightheaded or dizzy or tingly or hot or cold during this practice.
So it is best if you're going to do it for a longer length of time to definitely lay down,
But for now you can just stay seated nice and comfortable.
We're going to begin the three-part breath.
So with an open mouth,
Begin breathing into the belly,
Into the heart,
Exhale,
Belly,
Heart,
Exhale.
Good.
Belly,
Heart,
Exhale.
Keep going.
Belly,
Heart,
Exhale.
So it's an active inhale into the belly,
Into the heart,
Exhale,
Let it go.
Belly,
Chest,
Release.
Active inhale,
Passive exhale.
No pause at the bottom of the exhale,
No pause at the top of the inhale.
Just this continuous connected breath.
Beginning to close down the eyes if they're not already closed.
Just keep going,
Belly,
Heart,
Let go.
Into the belly,
Into the chest,
Release.
Keep breathing.
If you're beginning to get lightheaded or dizzy or hot,
It's okay.
Know that it's normal.
Everything will go back to normal.
Just keep breathing.
Most important thing throughout this practice is not to pause,
Not to stop.
Just continue to go with it.
Feel what you're feeling.
Feel what's coming up for you and let it go.
Keep breathing.
Belly,
Heart,
Exhale.
Good.
Keep going.
If you're lightheaded,
If you're dizzy,
If you're hot,
If you're cold,
Good.
If you're tingly,
If your hands are clamping,
Your mouth is clamping,
Good.
Keep breathing.
This breath moves energy.
We're not used to breathing this much oxygen in.
But what it's doing to you is it's tapping into the nervous system,
Getting you out of that fight,
Flight,
Freeze mode and into rest,
Digest,
Letting go of that anxiety,
That stress,
That need to be right,
That need to control.
And we're just breathing.
If this is challenging,
Good.
Keep going.
It's called breath work because this is hard because it's challenging.
So stick with it.
Keep going.
Keep breathing.
Belly,
Heart,
Exhale.
Good.
Keep sticking with it.
Keep breathing.
Know that on the other side of that resistance,
Of that voice telling you you can't do it,
Asking you when it's going to be over,
All of those stories,
All of those thoughts,
Everything from your past that no longer serves you is going to show up in this practice.
And your job is to keep breathing.
It's to notice that trauma and notice those triggers,
Notice those stories and habits and reaction and just say not today.
Not today ego.
You're not going to win.
I'm going to keep breathing.
I am strong.
Maybe just repeating to yourself,
I am strong.
I got this.
Each inhale,
I am strong.
Each exhale,
I got this.
Just saying that to yourself.
Keep breathing.
A few more rounds of breath here.
Picking up the pace a little faster.
A little deeper.
Stick with it.
Three more rounds.
So good.
Just allow that breath to come back to normal.
Breathe in through the nose,
Out through the mouth.
And just noticing sensations and energy in the body now that you've created.
The space.
Noticing how powerful you feel.
How supported you feel.
Thank you for doing this work and showing up.
I would love to continue to breathe with you.
So reach out to me at highlymeditated.
