This two technique practice invites us to acknowledge all that came before and all that will come after and allow ourselves to commit to the here and now, connecting with our breath. Celebrating the moment, the present moment in which we are in, showing up for ourselves. How do we show up for ourselves while being aware of what surrounds us.This is a shorter practice, one that you may want to take on as a commitment, doing this practice daily for 21, 27, 30 or 45 days.
*This practice works to warm up the spine, filling up the body with breath and exhaling it all out. It also works with both an inner and external retention of breath. This practice is grounding, opening, stabilizing, calming and working with the retentions, it increases the capacity of the breath, expanding the gap between the breaths.
This practice has the song Iris by Roger Eno and Brian Eno in the background.
Work with three different techniques to explore the capacity of the breath, teaching your mind to focus and accessing a gap and a still mind through deep concentration. These techniques invite us to remain innocent, noticing and being with what is showing up through this exploration. Lending relevance to our everyday lives.

*This practice has pumping of the navel center, strong breathing and internal and external breath retentions (holds). We are really working with the manipura chakra, the seat of will, volition, steadfastness, the place of our inner fire.
This practice was recorded during a Coming to Center series around the time of a full moon and the Fall Equinox. This time was the inspiration for the practice, to balance and come into alignment.
