When do you notice your breathing? Only when you choose to? Or also spontaneously, whether because of a change in sensation or pattern or just where your mind wandered... When you're practicing paying attention, you might make a choice whether to continuously bring your mind back to your breathing with whatever effort that requires or to allow noticing to happen when it does. You can make discoveries through both approaches and neither is better than the other.
Listen to "Moved Class 3 Observing breathing"
What’s in this episode of Moved to Heal?
Welcome movers! This week's practice is in the same style as my live mov/ed classes in which I use offer forms and movements with some additional information about potential effects a movement might have -- possible stretch or strength effects -- always offering choices and inviting you to practice as you choose.
While creating this practice, I was keeping in mind observing breathing.
The forms + movements offered in this episode
- Reclining
- Windshield wiper
- Hip bridge
You can participate in this practice by listening and/or moving. You're welcome to do or not do any of the practices, and in whatever manner or degree you choose.
Be moving, be true, be you
