The Gift of Attention
The nature of the mind is illusory
Where we focus is where our attention goes
When we are performing simple acts such as urinating, walking or chopping wood
our breath is compromised,
we may hold it in some way and it becomes shallow and unconsciously controlled
Try following the breath in
Notice how the in breath charges the body with fresh energy
And the out breath is more of a discharge and letting go, cleansing and clearing
In both the in breath and the out breath
We can us our senses to direct life-force energy through the areas we offer our attention to
Notice when you have a pee
Are you holding your breath
See if you can move your breath to assist the bladder
Chopping wood
Breath in as you bring up the axe
Utilize the energy of the exhale to execute a powerful delivery
This can be very invigorating and satisfying
This awareness has been used for generations as a powerful healing modality
With hands on touch you can breathe up from the earth
And charge the body upwards and follow the pathway with the sensations
On the exhale breathe the energy out your hands and offer it to a specific area of the body
When we unify the mind with the Breath we are moving magic
This experience can be very healing and nourishing in many ways
Play with it
When you are actively moving and channeling breath
The best rhythm is 5 seconds in, 5 seconds out
Or you can relax the nervous system mkre by lengthening the out breath
But we careful of too much muscular contraction or control
Let the breath be a natural rising and filling, falling and emptying
Let me know what your experience was like
