Daily breath
to shift your state.
A short circular connected breathing practice to move energy, get out of your head and reconnect with what's underneath. Not a deep dive. A daily reset.
This is an active breathing practice. Please read before you begin first.
Circular connected breathing means no pause between the inhale and the exhale. The breath keeps moving, and so does everything else.
This isn't the full transformational journey. It's a shorter, daily practice to change your state quickly, move what's stuck and drop below the thinking mind.
Because when the mind gets quiet, there's a deeper wisdom underneath that's been there all along. The breath is one of the fastest ways back to it.
More intensity isn't more transformation. What matters is staying in relationship with whatever comes up. That's why this practice is short and repeatable. Done daily, it builds the capacity that makes the deeper work possible.
Follow the guidance in the audio and work at your own pace. You can always slow the breath down or return to normal breathing at any point.
Circular connected breathing is powerful and creates real changes in your body chemistry and nervous system. It isn't right for everyone. Please skip this practice, or check with your doctor first, if you:
- Are pregnant
- Have epilepsy or a history of seizures
- Have a heart condition, high blood pressure, or a history of stroke or aneurysm
- Have glaucoma or a history of retinal detachment
- Have had recent surgery or a serious injury
- Have a severe mental health condition such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, or unsupported trauma or panic disorder
- Have severe asthma or another respiratory condition
- Are under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Never practise while driving, in or near water, or standing up
- Tingling, light-headedness or temporary tightness in the hands or face can happen. Slow the breath down and it will pass
- If anything feels like too much, return to normal breathing. You're always in charge
- Give yourself a few minutes to rest and come back before you get up
This practice is for educational and wellbeing purposes and isn't a substitute for medical or psychological care. If you're unsure whether it's right for you, speak with your health practitioner before starting.
What shifted? And what did you hear when your mind got quiet?
