Allowing Space For Breathing More Deeply
When the breath gets more space to be inside the body, the rhythm of breath is more profound and we can relax deeper. The breath will be easy and filling the whole body, and this will calm down the nervous system - this will calm you down entirely. Enjoy the state of breathing deep and easy!

Yes.
And again,
Upside Withrous You are the light So,
Find a nice comfortable place lying on your back.
With the legs easy,
The arms easy,
The pelvis,
The ribcage,
The head,
All lying very easy.
Make yourself comfortable.
Feel free to adjust,
You can always move,
It's ok.
And maybe during the exercise,
A deep breath or a sigh or a yawn may occur,
And this is ok too,
Just let it happen.
So let's arrive,
Feeling our bodies lying.
Maybe you're lying on a couch,
On the floor,
On a mat,
In bed,
It's all fine.
Just a place where you can rest your body,
Lay it down,
And feel comfortable.
And take your time to feel yourself arriving.
That's all.
So,
I'm lying on a mattress.
So I will refer to a mattress.
So feel the body lying on the mattress.
You can feel that by sensing the weight and the meat of the body.
The weight of the body which is comfortably resting on that mattress.
And maybe you can feel that you are touching that mattress.
The feet are touching the mattress.
You know,
Part of the feet are actually touching the mattress.
Try to feel them.
And can you feel that it's a shape,
An imprint which the feet are making.
Maybe the left foot is making a different imprint than the right one.
Hmm,
Now relax into sensing these things.
No need to think too much about these specifics.
It's about sensing and feeling.
And so,
How does the imprint,
The touch of the lower legs feel?
Where are they touching and where are they not?
And can you feel that the imprint is made because the meat of the body is resting into the mattress on that specific point.
Can you go up and maybe the knees are touching the thigh bones and the buttocks.
And what's the imprint that the body is making on the mattress?
And maybe the lower back is also touching or maybe not.
That's okay.
And the middle back and the upper back,
It's a big weight.
You know it's heavy.
You feel the weight dropping into the mattress making an imprint.
Let's see if you can feel the buttocks and the legs and the feet together with the upper back.
And can you feel that because of letting the weight make an imprint in the mattress,
That you can actually relax even more into the mattress.
And we continue with feeling the shoulders.
The shoulders resting.
Making an imprint on the mattress.
The upper arms.
The elbows.
Lower arms.
Wrists.
And hands including the fingers.
And so from shoulder to fingertips,
What is touching the mattress?
And can you feel your meat,
Your weight,
Your mass resting into that place where you're touching?
And let's see if we can add the back,
The buttocks,
The legs and the feet.
And sense all the parts of the body that we looked into.
No need to think about it.
Try to relax into sensing what is actually there,
The touch,
The weight.
Should it be very relaxing?
And so we feel the neck maybe touching somewhere depending on if you're using a pillow or not.
And the back of the head touching the mattress.
Feel the weight of the head,
It's a big weight.
And dropping into that place where it's touching the mattress.
Also connected to feeling the arms.
The chest.
The back.
The pelvis.
The legs.
The feet.
All touching and sinking into the mattress.
Enjoy that feeling of the weight spreading out on the surface,
Into the surface.
Enjoy that feeling of the weight spreading out on the surface.
Enjoy that feeling of the weight spreading out on the surface.
The body very loose and relaxed.
Kind of like a water balloon spreading out on the surface.
As if there is no resistance in sinking and spreading.
So let's put the hands on the chest.
It doesn't matter if it's on the center or off center.
And feel the hands resting.
Touching.
Very relaxed.
Now feel that the body is breathing.
It can feel like the breath goes into the lower belly.
It can feel like it can go up into the chest or both those areas.
Could feel like that the sides are participating in that breathing.
It could feel like that the back is also participating in that breathing.
And it can feel like it doesn't participate.
It doesn't matter.
It's okay.
We're trying to sense the breathing as it is.
And to come to a place of allowing which will release tensions in the body and will open up the body slowly but surely.
Be patient.
So we feel the body breathing.
The hands are still on the chest.
And try to feel that the chest is moving.
So you feel the hands moving,
You feel the chest moving.
Can be a little bit.
Can be a lot depending on where the air is going in your body.
The main point is that we stay very present and concrete in what is happening.
Then put your hands a little lower on the area between the breastbone.
And the navel,
The belly button.
And also here we can sense movement like a balloon.
The body filling with air and the body emptying itself out.
Can you feel that movement?
Can you feel that movement?
And then take one of your hands and put it back on the chest.
And so we have the opportunity to sense the movement of the two places.
By doing that we can also sense that it can be felt as one.
One movement.
Two movement.
And let's go to the.
.
Lower belly with both our hands.
And sense the movement that is happening there.
And let's go to the lower belly with both our hands.
We feel the whole of the body still lying on the mattress.
And we feel the movement of the air coming into that body.
Because the hands are lying on the lower belly.
It's easy to feel the air.
And also try to combine it with the places that we've been before on the chest and the area between the belly button and the breastbone.
And let's go to the lower belly.
And let's go to the lower belly.
And put your hands on the side.
Kind of on the bottom of the ribcage.
And have the hands rest there.
Let the arms be comfortable,
You know,
Lying on the mattress.
And the body is breathing.
And try to feel the movement of the hands of the sides of the body.
Relax into it.
Into sensing.
Relax.
And go back with your hands to your lower belly.
The area between the hips,
Between the pubic bone and the belly button.
And the hands can be on top of each other.
Maybe a little to the left or the right or maybe exactly in the center.
However you feel that it's comfortable.
And you sense the movement in the chest,
In the sides,
In the area above the belly button.
Below the belly button.
And by doing that we can sense that it's one thing.
The body.
Like a big balloon.
Filling with air and emptying out.
And by doing that we can sense that it's one thing.
And by doing that we can sense that it's one thing.
And feel the legs,
Feel the arms,
Feel the pelvis,
The torso,
The head.
Resting into the mattress.
And you feel that the body is moving.
And we can release into the support of the mattress.
Release into the feeling of being carried.
Being supported.
And we follow the movements of the breath going in and out of the body.
And we can release into the body.
And we can release into the body.
And we can release into the body.
And we can release into the body.
And you can feel that the body is really calm.
Comfortable.
And the air is soft.
Slow.
And you can feel the air.
And you can feel the air.
For now feel free to enjoy as long as you like.
The state of the body.
Comfortable.
Breathing easily.
Deeply.
And with a released space inside.
And with a released space inside yourself.
And with a released space inside yourself.
And with a released space inside yourself.
And with a released space inside yourself.
