Spinal Flex with Suspended Breath for Energy
Spinal Flex with Suspended Breath for Energy is the third exercise in the Kriya for Immune Fitness (#3) from Dying into Life.
Inhale through the nose, suspend the breath in. Press the tongue to the roof of your mouth as you suspend the breath, then begin the spinal flex. Flex until you can no longer COMFORTABLY hold your breath, then come back to center and exhale through the nose.
Continue at your own pace. If the flex feels too intense for you today, you could simply practice the breath exercise.
Stress Relief through Long Deep Breathing
Long deep breathing stimulates the relaxation response. It’s simple, but not always easy to remember!
Practice long deep breathing with Kelly this week, using a special mudra (yogic hand position) to increase relief from stress. Women place right middle finger and thumb together, left pinky and thumb together. For men, it’s reversed.
Bring your attention completely to your breath to give your mind a rest from worry.
