Introduction to Awe Breathing

Awe breathing is not merely a breathing exercise; it is a transformative practice designed to release tension, ground energy, and reconnect you to your body's natural rhythms. By engaging in awe breathing, you tap into a deeper sense of relaxation and vitality, creating space for emotional and physical healing.

Preparation for Awe Breathing

Before starting, ensure you are in a comfortable setting, ideally on a soft surface like a bed or mattress. Wear loose clothing to allow unrestricted movement. Position your body with your knees bent, feet hip-width apart, and arms relaxed at your sides, maintaining a relaxed head and neck.

The Breathing Technique

Breathing is done solely through the mouth. Begin each breath from the lower belly, allowing it to rise naturally into the chest. Vocalize an 'A' sound as you exhale, releasing breath from the chest and belly.

Aim for a natural three-count inhale and exhale. This practice helps distribute breathing evenly, encouraging relaxation and grounding.

Integrating Movement and Breath

Incorporate specific movements with the breathing pattern to target areas of accumulated stress. Movements such as eye widening, jaw tension release, and shoulder shrugs are synchronized with your breath to enhance the release of deeply held tension.

Example: By synchronizing the breath with eye movements, you signal your nervous system that it is safe to release mental strain.

The Spiritual Dimension

According to this practice, the life force returning to your body is not just biological; it is the breath of God, a spiritual shift. This perspective invites participants to experience their body as a temple, a sacred space where divine presence resides.

Common misconception: Embodiment is not about striving for something new; it's about awakening to what's already present within.

The Practice of Sense and Feel

To conclude, engage in the 'sense and feel' practice, verbally acknowledging sensations in your body without labels or interpretations. This anchors the session's energy and movement, integrating the experiences into your nervous system.

Pro tip: Regular practice is key. Engaging in these techniques once a week can sustain transformation, while consistency reinforces the shifts achieved.
