Breath Work - Thoughts On Inhale And Exhale

Breath in

Oxygen
Positive Light
Energy
Cleansing Light
Sunlight
The Present Moment
Health
Vitality
Radiance

Breath out

Toxins
Negativity
Things that no longer serve us
Tension
Disease
Restrictions
Sluggishness
Expectation
Grief
Past Tensions

Draw from what ever sources we feel we need at the time

The inner self
Non personal connections such a visualisation
Create spaciousness

Imagine breathing through different areas of the body besides the chest/lungs.

Through the space between the eyebrows with a feeling of expansion and enlightenment and more depth. Breathing through the mind.

Through the top of the head with a feeling of travelling, intelligent light to the rest of body.

Throught the fingers, toes and tail bone drawing in light as we breath through the limbs.

Through the whole body from the eyebrow space to the collarbones, to the chest, to the lungs and then to the tummy. Feeling absorbing breath in the mind and then expansive breath in the chest and a feeling of taking a big quenching drink of the breath into tummy.

Ourselves is all of us. Not just the physical body.

Trikonasana Triangle Pose can identify asymmetries and enable correction. Pranayama can be practiced sitting or lying with the focus on maintaining the chest opening gained from the preparation. Using a wall to support the back and feel alignment is useful. Lying over a folded blanket, blocks or a bolster encourages more chest opening.
