Hello,
And welcome to another guided breathwork session.
Today we're going to energize ourselves with four rounds of powerful breathing,
Using two different techniques to help awaken the nervous system and focus the mind.
The first technique is supraventilation.
Deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth,
Like this.
Deep inhale,
Completely filling up the lungs from the belly,
Pulling it up,
And a relaxed exhale out.
The second technique is a shamanic style of breathing.
Two part inhale through the nose or mouth,
And one relaxed exhale through the mouth,
Like this.
The first breath we breathe into the lower belly,
The second breath we breathe into the heart space,
And a gentle exhale relaxing your whole body as you breathe out.
Each round will be separated with an exhale breath retention starting at 40 seconds,
Getting as comfortable as possible,
Laying down flat,
Or sitting up tall,
Elongating the spine.
Closing down the eyes,
And let's begin in 3,
