A breath token is a breathing exploration that I develop for friends & clients and send out as a gift.
Stability and Elasticity
Lying down with knees bent and feet on the floor, let‘s place one hand on one part of the torso and the other on another part of the torso. We can sense the body walls but also the breath movement beneath them. In natural breathing, the expansion and contraction of the breath movement can be felt and sensed mostly through the resistance and relaxation of the tissue that forms the vessel of our body. The vessel itself doesn‘t change but the spaces within it shift with the breath movement, depending on the elasticity of the tissue. And this, we can, in part, sense.
We can explore what our sensations, feelings and thoughts about this experience are, and in which breath phase we feel more stability or more elasticity – or both simultaneously – during the inhale, the exhale or the breathe pause.
The benefits I experienced were:
visceral sense of the breath movement
feeling alive
expansion of the breath movement
sense of place
appreciation of my body and breathing
There are surely other benefits for you to discover. If you have any questions or feedback please contact me.
