Breathe To Clear

Clear your energy field from stuck emotions, feelings, and tensions by completing this practice that includes two clearing breathing exercises: lion's breath and three-part breathing. You will leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and cleared from the inside out.

If you are pregnant or have any heart conditions, skip the three-part breath and take deep breaths in through the nose and out the mouth instead. You will still feel the same effect of clearing and releasing.

Transcript

Hi friends,

Welcome to this practice.

In this practice we're going to be performing two breathing exercises to clear out our field and release any stagnant emotions,

Feelings,

Or pockets of energy.

To begin,

Find a nice and easy comfortable seat with the spine tall,

The eyes closed,

And the tailbone pressing down onto the ground.

Start to find a nice and meditative face posture,

Pressing the tongue on the roof of the mouth and pulling the eyes in and up to the brow so you're focusing on your third eye point.

We're going to begin practice by taking three deep breaths to really settle down into the physical body and arrive in the present moment.

So take a deep inhale through the nose and sigh it out the mouth.

Breathe in through the nose all the way,

All the way from the tailbone up to the crown of the head and hold the breath at the top.

Now as you hold the breath,

Move your awareness and place it on your breath from wherever it's resting and exhale.

Let it go,

Make a sound,

Let out the sigh.

Gonna do that one more time.

Really take a deep inhale through the nose,

Fill it up all the way and track that inhale from the tailbone up to the crown and hold the breath at the top.

Try to release and relax your body around this breath hole and when we let go you're going to really make a sound and let out the sigh.

Exhale,

Let it go.

Beautiful.

Let's do one more for good measure.

Breathe in through the nose,

Hold the breath at the top,

Pull the eyes in and up to the brow,

Relax your body around this breath hole,

Sip in a bit more air in through the nose and exhale,

Sigh it out.

Beautiful.

Start to come back to your natural pattern of breathing but keep the awareness,

Keep the breath in this meditative state.

The next breathing exercise that we're going to explore is called lion's breath.

So the inhale is super deep through the nose and with the exhale you stick out your tongue and clear out your throat.

It sounds something like this.

Beautiful.

So we're going to do this five times and this is going to help us to really release any stagnant energy and tightness that might be resting in the throat.

Take a deep breath in,

Exhale lion's breath.

Breathe in,

Stick out your tongue,

Let something go.

Breathe in,

Try to make these as loud and as releasing as possible.

Breathe in,

Last one,

Give it your all,

Take your deepest inhale through the nose and exhale lion's breath.

Awesome.

And close down your mouth and come back to your breath,

Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.

For the second part of this practice,

You can choose to lay down on your back or you can remain seated based on how your back's feeling.

We're going to do a three-part breath.

So wherever you are,

Place one hand on the belly and one hand on the chest.

Our breathing pattern is going to be in three parts.

For the first part of your inhale,

You're going to breathe into the hand that's on the belly,

Feeling the belly rise up.

Second part of your inhale,

You're going to breathe into the hand that's on the chest,

Feeling the chest rise up.

And for the third part,

You're just going to exhale it all out.

You can do this breathing practice either in through the nose or in through the mouth based on how hard you want to go today.

In through the mouth and out through the mouth is going to be more intense.

In through the nose and out through the mouth is going to be a more soothing and calming practice.

You can go as fast or as slow as you want,

Depending on the intensity you're going for.

So it could sound simple,

But it's actually more intense than you want,

Depending on the intensity you're going for.

So it could sound something like this or something like this.

And you can alternate between the two as well.

We're going to do three rounds of this for about a minute and a half each with holds in between.

To begin,

Take a big breath in through your nose and exhale out the mouth.

First round,

Let's go.

Breathe into the hand that's on the belly that's on the chest and let it go.

Keep moving through this with your own pace.

I'm going to keep the pace slower for the first round and increase it as we move on.

Know that as we breathe,

If you start feeling any tingling sensations,

Any numbness in the face,

In the hands,

Any clamping of the hands,

That's completely normal with this breath pattern.

If you want to soothe the symptoms,

Just simply slow down the breath.

Keep it moving.

You might start to feel emotions or anything that you've been suppressing starting to come up.

This is the magic of this breath.

Just try to notice and breathe through all that's coming up.

Last 30 seconds here.

You're riding your body like a wave.

Your breath has no beginning or no end.

It's just moving and cycling through you.

Last 10 seconds.

You got this.

Take a deep inhale through the nose all the way up the belly,

The chest,

The spine,

The head,

And hold the breath at the top.

Relax your entire body around this breath hold.

Pull the eyes in and up to the brow.

Press the tongue on the roof of the mouth and keep holding the breath.

Feel the prana.

Feel the life force circulating through you.

And exhale.

Let it go.

Blow out all of your air until you feel the belly suctioning into the spine and your body becomes this empty vessel.

Try to hold the breath out.

We're going to try to hold the breath out for 30 seconds.

Keep the face,

Keep the hands,

Keep the feet relaxed.

Peeling into the edges of your body.

Take a big inhale through the nose and exhale out the mouth.

And we begin round 2.

Belly,

Chest,

Release.

Keep it moving and notice if your mind is asking you to stop.

This is a very common thing that happens when we practice active breath work.

The mind just starts to wander and wants to go elsewhere.

So if that's happening to you,

Just soothe yourself and let yourself know that you're going to keep breathing no matter what.

You're releasing so much material,

So much stuck energy,

Stuck feelings.

So keep moving through it.

Last 20 seconds.

Maybe your exhales become a little bit more audible.

Take a big full inhale in through the nose.

Travel it all the way to the crown and when you reach the top,

Hold it there.

Move your awareness inside your body.

Turn your eyes in and up to the brow and really feeling into the prana that resides inside you.

Hold the breath in and take a deep sigh out the mouth.

As you blow out all of your air,

Now you hold the breath out for 30 seconds.

Notice the space around your body.

Notice the molecules inside your body and the energy circulating within you.

Last 15 seconds here.

You got this.

Keep the breath out and keep the focus strong.

Take a big inhale through the nose and exhale it out the mouth.

And we start round three.

Breathe into the belly,

Chest,

Release.

Maybe you pick up the pace this round,

Focusing in on all the sensations,

Both physical and mental that are coming up for you during this practice and enjoying this process of clearing yourself,

Clearing your energy field,

Clearing your aura from all that does not serve you.

Keep the breath strong.

Belly,

Chest,

Release.

Belly,

Chest,

Last 40 seconds here.

Give it your entire being.

Really releasing something with your exhales,

Allowing yourself to make any sounds that your body needs to make to release all that needs to let go.

Last 20 seconds.

Maybe you pick up the pace even more.

Take a big full breath in through the nose.

Deepest breath you've taken all day.

And hold it at the top.

Eyes turning up to the brow.

Tongue comes onto the roof of your mouth.

The awareness shoots outside of your body.

So you feel your aura growing 360 degrees into the front sides and back of your body.

Shoot your energy field outwards as you hold the breath in for 20 more seconds.

Try to keep the mind relaxed.

You got this.

Last 10 seconds.

And exhale out the mouth.

As you make a big sound,

Let it go.

Blow out all of your air.

And we're gonna hold the breath for 30 seconds here.

Keep the eyes turning in and up to the brow.

Keep the body soft,

The awareness strong.

Let yourself know that we always have more than we need so you're safe here to allow your body to be breathless for 20 more seconds.

If you ever need to breathe in,

You can,

But try to hold.

Last five.

Breathe in through the nose and hold.

And take a deep sigh out the mouth in 3,

Let something go.

Slowly come back to your breath.

Noticing the natural pattern of your breathing and allowing yourself to anchor into it.

Place one hand on the heart,

One hand on the belly,

And take a moment to notice how different you feel compared to how you began practice.

In your mind's eye,

Take a note of what it is that you released,

What it is that you allowed to move through you.

When you're ready,

With no rush at all,

Slowly blink your eyes open into your new,

More clear state.

I hope you enjoyed this practice.

Namaste.
