A breath token is a breathing exploration that I develop for friends & clients and send out as a gift.
Stability
One of the wonderful aspects of natural breath work is the sense of stability it can bring. There are many ways in which touch and movement create a sense of stability but the breath by itself can also create that.
While sitting, standing or lying down, let‘s place our hands on the torso. We can sense our hands resting on the body walls and the breath movement beneath them. The shape of the torso is continually changing and yet it stays the same. The torso itself doesn‘t change but the spaces within it shift with the breath movement, depending on the tone of the tissue.
We can now explore what our sensations, feelings and thoughts about this experience are, in which breath phase we feel more or less stability: during the inhale, the exhale or the breath pause.
The benefits I experienced were:
getting in tune with my breath rhythm
sense of place in my body
calming and centering
appreciation of my breathing
There are surely other benefits for you to discover. If you have any questions or feedback please contact me.
