Welcome to Reset by Breath.
I'm Paige,
And this is your space to breathe,
Regulate,
And reset.
For today's journey,
We'll be focusing on activating our Kundalini energy.
Kundalini is the life force that is said to live at the base of our spine.
Through our breath,
We can awaken this energy,
Move it upwards,
And spread the energy pulsing throughout our body.
Think of this practice like starting our inner fire and letting it radiate out.
Let's check out today's breath puppet.
We will start by grounding into our body through ujjayi breaths.
This breath is done in and out through the nose with a slight constriction at the back of the throat.
It sounds like a wave and anchors us here in the present moment.
Then we'll move into a fiery,
Conscious,
Connected breath.
A continuous,
Circular breath done in and out through the mouth with no pauses between the inhale and exhale.
The breath starts in the belly,
Moves up to the chest,
And exhale,
We relax as it falls away.
This rhythmic breath will start to build heat within the body.
And then we will integrate the practice through stillness.
So find a comfortable position,
Seated or lying down.
Close your eyes and feel where you're making contact with the earth.
Trust your body,
Trust your breath,
And let's reset together.
Inhale through the nose.
Exhale through the nose Allow the sound of your breath to soothe you.
Inhale through the nose.
Exhale through the nose,
A slight constriction in the back of the throat.
Your breath sounds like a wave If you're having trouble finding this breath,
You can imagine fogging up a mirror.
Slow and steady breath.
Every wave of your breath grounds you deeper into your body,
Into the present moment.
Feel the rhythm.
Inhale rising.
Exhale,
Fall in.
Allow this ocean sound to anchor you,
To remind you that you are safe.
Now we will fire up the body with conscious connected breath.
And three.
Two,
One.
Inhale through the mouth.
Release.
Belly,
Chest,
Release.
No pauses between the breaths.
Belly.
Chest.
Release.
That's it.
Connect the breath.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Feel the rhythm building in your body.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Each inhale stirs the energy.
Each exhale clears the way.
That's it,
Keep breathing.
Deep inhales,
Soft,
Relaxed exhales.
Trust your breath.
No pauses.
Find that rhythm.
Just lean into the sensation that you feel.
Now we'll increase the pace.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Faster,
Sharper,
Stronger.
Stay with it.
You can do it just a little bit.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Feel the energy rising up the spine.
I buzz through you.
And now slow the breath back down.
Slow the breath back down.
Find that steady rhythm.
Belly,
Chest,
Release.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Smooth and circuit.
And feel the difference in your breath.
Feel the softening,
Spaciousness Inhale.
.
.
Exhale.
.
.
Your body learns balance when you shift between these states.
Tune into the energy rising in the body.
Now steady and clear.
And now we'll speed up the breath in and out through the mouth.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
It's faster.
It's stronger.
Stay with what you can do.
Lean into the fire.
You can do this.
That's it.
Stay with it.
Trust your body.
Trust what you are able to do.
And now we'll take one deep inhale,
Fill your lungs,
And hold your breath at the top.
Hold your breath.
Feel the energy moving from the base of your spine up through your central column to the crown of your head.
Feel the aliveness,
The activation within you.
Exhale slow,
Slow,
Slow,
Let the energy spread through every cell Coming back to your normal and natural breath.
Breathing in and out through the nose.
Notice the aliveness pulsing through your body.
The fire awakens.
Energy moving.
Kundalini breath work is about remembering the life force that is always within you.
Be in this energy.
