A breath token is a breathing exploration that I develop for friends & clients and send out as a gift.
Drop & Lift
I was sitting in a doctor‘s waiting room and was in need of some rest, relaxation and at the same time uprightness. So I let the lower back sink backwards* on the inhale and release back up on the exhale. As I lengthened the spine on the exhale I drew the shoulderblades towards each other. Then I let the shoulderblades release as dropped down again. Once I got into the groove it felt like the moving of wings, a drop and a lift and then again, drop and lift.
The benefits I experienced were:
increased circulation
deep breathing*
calm state of mind
openness (in the interaction with the doctor)
uprightness
clarity
restoration
There are surely other benefits for you to discover. If you have any questions or feedback please contact me.
*sink backwards – any downward motiong is not a collapse in the spine but a motion of letting go or giving into gravity consciously
*deep breathing: diaphragmatic breathing that occurs without intention or effort
