Now this visualization is really simple.
All it involves is you breathing.
So it's best if you sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor.
Let the tension flow from your forehead.
Become aware of the position of your tongue and let it lie flat.
Let the tension flow from your neck.
Drop your shoulders.
Let the tension flow from your arms,
Down your chest,
Through your thighs,
All the way to the floor.
By the way you can do this with your eyes open or closed.
It's a really good thing to do just before you start a creative activity or you ever get stuck.
What you do is you put your hands on your belly so the middle fingers of each hand touch together at the tip.
And you breathe in so your fingers part.
Then you breathe out so they touch again.
And make the out breath about four times as long as the in breath.
So it's in so your fingers part and it's out so your fingers touch again.
Just do that for about five times.
In and out.
And in and out.
Just do the next three by yourself.
It really is just as simple as that.
By making sure your belly goes in and out it ensures that the diaphragm is actually moving.
So we're going to do it again.
Again let any tension flow away.
Give your shoulders a waggle.
Waggle your fingers as well.
Just give your feet a bit of a waggle too.
And this time what we're going to do is do it again but with more volition.
So we're really going to breathe in.
The fingers really part.
We're going to force our fingers apart.
And then we breathe out again so the fingers touch.
And this time we breathe out maybe five or six times as long as the in breath.
So do this for three times.
In and out.
And in.
Really extend the belly and out.
Once more.
In and out.
And for the next set of breaths what we're going to do is we're going to connect the diaphragm with our brains.
You breathe in and out five times and on the in breath really make our belly expand.
And we imagine the breath is going up into our right brain.
Do that five times.
Now you flip over.
You breathe in and out five times.
You imagine the breath is going into your left brain.
Each in breath,
Breath goes up your body and really fills your left hemisphere.
And now here's another inspiring breathing exercise you can do.
And this involves imagining that the breath is going all the way up your spinal column starting in your root,
Just in your bum bone,
Going all the way up your spine on the in breath and emerging out the top of your crown.
And on the out breath it reverses and the breath comes down through your crown,
Past your neck,
Past your heart,
Past your gut and all the way down to the root.
Just do that seven times.
So in,
Past the root,
All the way up to the crown and then out,
All the way down your spine.
Still with your hands on your belly,
On the in breath so the fingers just part,
On the out breath so they just come together again.
Just play with your breathing in this manner until the end of the visualisation.
And now if you've got your eyes closed just open them gently and come back into the root.
