A breath token is a breathing exploration that I develop for friends & clients and send out as a gift.

Moving the spine

One way of getting out of the head and into the body, which also gets us in touch with our breathing, is by only moving the spine. We can imagine the body being one entity like a snake’s body. The limbs and the head are completely passive and relaxed. While moving the spine, almost imperceptibly or more vigorously, we let the breath flow freely in and out through the nose.  Read More

A breath token is a breathing exploration that I develop for friends & clients and send out as a gift.

Let’s take the idea of stretching and redefine it as a „leaning into a space“. We can lean from anywhere inside the torso towards the inner walls of the torso. This could be to the side, upwards or downwards, forwards or backwards, or diagonally. Where I meet with a resistance I explore it rather than go up against it. Leaning into the resistance, gently as into a sofa cushion or more directly as against a wall, waiting for the space to expand, to open so that the breath can flow in.

The benefits I experienced were:
A strong sense of the breath movement
Mobility in the chest
Deep, gentle and regular breathing
A sense of space in the entire torso
Becoming aware of tension and pain patterns in the torso

There are surely other benefits for you to discover. If you have any questions or feedback please contact me.
