Sends loving healing calming energy within to your own body, resetting your parasympathetic system so your nervous system can relax and rest and digest. The more it is practiced the more the neuropath ways remember and the quicker the effect.
- Rub hands/palms together getting them nice and warm/hot with all that healing energy from your heart, remember we are electric!
- Cup them over your eyes and open your eyes. (It should be dark). The healing energy travels behind the optic nerves and soothes the eyes while activating the pineal gland…increasing serotonin and melatonin.. it can also help reduce eye strain and loosen the oil glands along the eyelids to release dryness.
- the heels of the hands rest on the ridge of the bone under the eye, this is the acupressure point for the stomach meridian…which helps us to ground.. wonderful for the busy minds, especially when trying to fall asleep.
- the fingers on the forehead are on the point where it tells the newer part of our brain that all is o.k, calming and resetting your unique nervous system.
You can also combine with inhaling through the nose to count of 4 and exhaling out open mouth to count of 6-8 ….. or to HUM…. this activates the vagal nervous system, calming the body as well….Lastly, it can be powerful to combine the timing of the breath with a affirmation in past tense like it already happened, or with a prayer.
The “Breath of Joy” is a quick energizing breathing exercise (3 short inhales through the nose paired with rising arm movements, then a big exhale with a forward bend).
Additional benefits; The inhale provides an energy boost, increasing oxygen and positive mood shift. The exhale releases tension, and deep breathing helps reduce low moods, stress and cortisol while easing anxiety, Improved circulation gets the blood flowing, detoxing the lymphatic system, increasing mental clarity with more oxygen to the brain, while helping with focus. It can take only a few minutes, or as long as you feel necessary.
Lastly… combine it with a audible sound that feels good to you!
Suggestions to release emotions….
Fear - “Whooooooo or Huuuuu”
Anger - “SHHHHHHHHH”
Anxiety or lack of inspiration- “HAAAAAA”
Grief - SSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Lack of confidence, self love and care - Ujjayi breath, in the back of the throat (Darth Vader breath or like a wave)
