A breath token is a breathing exploration that I develop for friends & clients and send out as a gift.
It is how it is
Last Tuesday I went to the monthly breath class of my teacher Erika Kemmann. After arriving in our sitting position – sensing the soles of the feet on the ground and the sit bones on the chair, Erika invited us to meditate on „how it is“. „It is how it is“, she said. Whatever comes up „It is how it is. I am who I am“. So we sat there in silence repeating „It is how it is. I am who I am“, devoting our time and attention to accepting ourselves physically, emotionally and mentally at that moment.
I was surprised what a strong effect this had on me, my whole being seemed to let go and everything fell into place. My breathing became soft, deep and regular. It made me realise how much effort we normally put into everything and how much tension this creates in the body, the mind and, of course, in our breathing.
So, let‘s practice „It is how it is. I am who I am.“ and see what happens. We can do this anytime, anywhere while sitting, standing, lying down and feel how our breathing responds.
Benefits I experienced:
Calming
Grounding
Softening
Relaxed body and mind
Soft, regular breathing
Easy breath movement deep in the body
