For today's practice we're going to be doing breath work for soaking in all of the joy.
This practice is great for soaking in the goodness of life,
Connecting with what is going really well and amplifying the radiance of your energy.
Today we're going to be doing the 2-1 breath into the halo active and then at the end we're going to take a top hold twice.
So the 2-1 breath sounds like inhaling twice through your nose and exhaling once through your mouth.
And the halo active is taking a deep inhale through the nose and a deep exhale through the mouth.
And then at the end that top hold is taking a deep inhale through the nose.
It's suspending your breath at the top so holding your breath and then as you hold your breath you're going to tightly squeeze your body,
You're going to squeeze your face,
Your hands,
Everything for as long as you'd like and then you're going to release.
And we're going to repeat that twice.
So that is what we have for today's practice and let's dive in.
Finding yourself in a seated position and making yourself comfortable.
Starting with three cleansing breaths,
So taking a deep inhale through your nose and a deep exhale through the mouth.
Taking a deep inhale through the nose and a deep exhale through the mouth.
And taking one more deep breath just like that at your pace.
Beginning to notice how your mind may have been showing up today,
Whether it's the morning or the evening or maybe it's the middle of the day,
Just how your mind has been treating you today.
And using that same awareness to notice how it feels to be in your body.
So bringing your awareness into the body and doing that by noticing the different temperatures,
If your hands are warm or if your hands are cold.
Maybe noticing if your feet are warm or if your feet are cold.
And really feeling the structure underneath you,
Whatever that might be.
Feeling that it is supporting you,
That it's holding your body weight.
It has you here grounded and supported and safe.
And as we move into the breath,
We're working with this intention of soaking in all of the goodness,
Soaking in everything that is going well,
Connecting to what is going really well,
And really allowing that to amplify all the things that are already going so well.
The better it gets,
The better it gets,
The better it gets.
And so when you feel ready and at your pace,
Beginning that two-one breath,
Taking two inhales through the nose and one long exhale through the mouth.
And sticking with that breath,
Finding that pace,
Finding that rhythm that feels good for you.
And allowing each inhale to open up the lungs.
Filling the body with new energy,
With fresh breath.
And with every exhale,
You're making space for more,
More joy,
More love,
More fun,
More play,
More adventure.
And nothing needs to change right now.
Nothing needs to be different right now.
The gratitude and the joy that you feel is enough.
And then when you feel ready,
Moving into that halo active breath.
So taking a deep inhale through the nose and a deep exhale through the mouth.
Deep inhale through the nose and deep exhale through the mouth.
Continuing that breath,
You're doing great.
And as you're taking each of these breaths,
Each of these inhales,
You're allowing the radiance of the sun,
The brightness of the sun to soak into your body with each breath,
With each inhale.
You're allowing the nourishment of the trees and the earth around you to fuel you.
The roots under you are giving you life,
They're giving you energy.
And you're allowing all of the goodness,
All of the things that are going well,
All of the joy.
You're allowing it to soak in,
Soaking into every cell of your body,
Every single breath.
And on that next inhale,
Going into our first top hold.
So you're going to take a deep inhale through the nose.
And you're going to suspend your breath at the top.
And you're going to hold your body and hold your breath.
And squeeze,
Squeeze,
Squeeze your body tight,
Tight,
Tight,
Tight.
Squeeze your face,
Your feet,
Your legs,
Your arms.
And when you release,
Release with a sigh.
Letting your body shake,
Shaking out the body.
I am present with what is,
I am open to the possibilities.
And we're going to take one more top hold.
Again,
You are soaking in all of the goodness.
So taking that deep inhale through the nose.
Holding your breath at the top,
Squeezing your body tight,
Tight,
Tight.
Squeezing your hands,
Your feet,
Your arms,
Your face.
And releasing with a deep sigh.
And allowing your mind and your energy to settle.
And reaffirming,
I'm allowing all of the goodness in my life to soak into every cell of my body.
Because the better it gets,
The better it gets,
The better it gets.
Great job.
And take this feeling with you into the rest of your day.
And I will talk to you soon.
