Movement, Love, Mindfulness, day 1--- wake up breathing

move the ribs and you will
wake up breathing

go slowly
breath is in no hurry

add
on the pelvis
attached to the spine
attached to the ribs

more ease
more awakened breathing
more pleasure
more life

good....



So,
lie on your back, on a comfortable floor or a bed or some grass, sand
you figure that out

1. Move your head
gently side to side

feeling what happens in your neck
feeling the difference in feeling in moving the two ways
feeling yourself slow down
and
pay attention

do this many times

1.b. Rest
Just sense yourself
Breathe

2. Move your feet,
side to side
like windshield
wipers

slowly
and here again,
feel the movement,
feel differences side to side
feel yourself paying attention

2.b. rest

3. Now,
in various combinations,
either move the feet and the head the same way,
or opposite ways

take lots of time to explore and enjoy this

3.b. rest

4. take your hands to the opposite armpit
and very very gently move your ribs right and left

feel the movement in the front
and
back of your ribs
feel the movement in your neck and pelvis

enjoy
notice
go slower

4.b. rest

5. Create this interesting combination:
head and feet to the left
as ribs go to the right,
and

head and feet to the right
as ribs go to the left

notice
enjoy
learn
sense yourself

breathe

5.b.
rest

there is lots more involving the pelvis
call for a lesson over the phone,
360-317-4773
or go find a nearby Feldenkrais® or
Anat Baniel Method practitioner

and this is a start

notice
ease and
improvement in your breathing from this
