Hi Everyone!
I apologize for my two week hiatus! But I'm back :)
This week I want to focus on connecting the breath, mind, and body. I was inspired to discuss "connecting" because this weekend I connected with wonderful friends, met new, interesting, and beautiful people, and this past Monday I reconnected with an old and amazing friend! Each person had an intriguing and unique story to tell, and each person shared wonderful news; new jobs, engagements, upcoming nuptials, birth of babies, new homes, the inspiration they find in life, etc.
I realized today how important it is to connect and stay connected with those who have and continue to have a positive impact in my life. I have never felt so relaxed, fresh, renewed, and inspired!
So what does it mean to connect with your breath, mind, and body? Well, the breath relaxes the mind, guides every movement, and strengthens the body. In order to find this connection, you must simply breathe :)
*Close your eyes
*Take a deep inhale through your nose and exhale out your nose
*Imagine your breath as the ebb and flow of the ocean waves: inhale...the wave crashes, exhale....the water recedes
*Focus on this and make the connection between breath and mind
*You may stay in a comfortable still position, begin your stretching, or everyday tasks
*Be mindful of the breath rushing through your body, bringing fresh oxygen to your blood and cells
*You will notice your movements become a bit more fluid and graceful
*This is the connection of breath, mind, and body!!!
Happy Connecting!
