BREATHING WITH INTENT FOR RELAXATION AND HEALING

Here is a simple technique to begin experiencing your own internal power. As you breathe allow yourself to begin to experience a deep state of relaxation and healing.

1. Inhale slowly and deeply to a count of 4.
Imagine you are breathing in through the bottom of your feet.
Inhale,
filling your lower belly on the count of one (1) ,
then your diaphragm for the count of two (2),
next, fill your lungs on the count of three (3),
and finally your collar bone lifts with the last part of your inhale on the count of four (4).

2. Hold the breath for 4 counts, while you move your attention to a point at your navel.

3. Exhale slowly and gently, through your mouth, reversing the order of the inhale. Release your collar bone and shoulders first with the beginning of the exhale (1),then lungs (2), diaphragm (3), and lower belly (4). Make a gentle “ha-a-a-a” sound, releasing all your muscles in a big sigh.

4. Hold the breath for 4 counts.

5. Experience how the energy in your body seemingly slows down while you exhale.

6. Repeat 1-5 above. This time imagine you are breathing in and out through the top of your head, breathing slowly and naturally.

7. Repeat 1-5 once more, while imagining that you are breathing in and out through your heart. Allow your breath to roll in and out like ocean waves of relaxation.

8. Now, as you inhale slowly, send your awareness deep down into the Earth below you, as if you have grown roots, down to the center of the Earth. Allow the power and resources you find there to travel up your roots, entering through the bottom of your feet, easily moving up through your legs, up through your tailbone, filling your belly, moving through your heart, up through your throat, filling your whole head.

Take a moment to imagine every cell of your body completely filled with this energy, opening and receiving.

9. Exhale slowly to a count of four, with a relaxing “ha-a-a-a” sound, while releasing all your muscles in a big sigh. Hold again for the count of four.

10. Now, as you inhale slowly, imagine opening your arms out wide and think of the sky above you. Allow your awareness to rise above your head into your creative resourceful state above. Send your awareness high above your head – as if you have sprouted wings and now can fly far out into the universe.

Imagine you follow a ray of light back and allow yourself to be filled with this beautiful light through the top of your head. Imagine this warm, healing light ignites the light in the center of every cell of your body.

Imagine this warm, healing light merging with and becoming part of every aspect of your being, so that now the rays radiate outward from you, forming a glowing shield, encircling all that is you. It is warming, relaxing, and healing at the deepest level of your being.

You can feel the warmth spreading throughout the totality of your body, mind, and spirit. These rays are warming you, healing you, penetrating and joining with all that is you. Literally cleaning house and re-arranging your thoughts into a pattern that allows you to become a part of your new future that is light and joyful. Feel the energy come all the way down through your body until all of your parts - mental, emotional and physical - are aligned. Simply creating a new reality.

11. Again, exhale completely for a count of 4 with a relaxing and releasing “ha-a-a-a” sound.

12. Hold again for the count of four.

13. Repeat steps 8 – 12 as many times as you like – at least five.

You will learn that very quickly, this simple exercise can help you relax, help you focus, and slow you down.

Personal Power

Personal power is the power to choose. Clear intention to move straight towards a goal. Spend the time to be very clear, asking for what you want and opening to receive it.

Become the person you've always wanted to be. Imagine stepping in to the fullest expression of yourself. What would that feel like? Notice your posture, how you hold your shoulders, the quality of your breathing, your facial expression, your overall energy level.

Every time you set your intention, simply step in to this image and your body will develop a "muscle memory," or an "energy imprint" of this pattern, making it easier for your mind to act upon.

State your problem or what you want to change. Intent releases power and energy.
State “This can change”.
State "I want this problem to go away"
State “I commit with the energy of certainty.”
State “Now I am willing to change in mind, body and spirit in harmony with what I desire.”

Recognize any negative situation and move past it to the positive benefit of the lesson learned from the experience, re-establishing health and balance. Balance and harmony are restored to you and everyone around you.
