A breath token is a breathing exploration that I develop for friends & clients and send out as a gift.
Airing the armpit
Let’s open and lift one arm slightly outwards so as to create a space between the armpit and the inside of the arm. Then we release the arm back to the torso. We repeat this as often as we like and then change sides. We can then open and lift both arms to the side at the same time, like a young bird preparing to open its wings. The focus remains on “airing the armpits”. This can be done almost imperceptibly and so it can be done anywhere.
This exploration is good for opening the upper torso for the breath movement to flow through.
The benefits I experienced were:
opening in the chest
calming
sense of the whole upper torso
easy exhale
creating a connection with myself
There are surely other benefits for you to discover. If you have any questions or feedback please contact me.
