Homecoming Breath: Take a deep inhalation through the nose. Breath into your chest. Focus all your awareness on the area surrounding your heart.
After a few seconds, release the breath and awareness by exhaling through an open mouth, jaw relaxed. As you exhale, let out an audible “haaaa” sound. Do this once more, focusing on the heart.
Repeat the process again, but this time focusing on your belly. And finally, repeat again focusing on the pelvic area.
Repeat the whole exercise at least twice, making sure to take your time and really concentrate on the body with each breath.
Creatrix Breath: Take a big inhalation through your open mouth while expanding your chest and lifting your arms, as if you were in awe. Hold for a few seconds, then exhale, rounding your spine and moving your chin to your chest. Empty out all of your breath.
Repeat this six times, then after emptying your breath out the last time make a snake like movement with your spine as you inhale through the nose. Sit up, hold the breath and ground down through your body. Keep your eyes closed as you focus on grounding. Hold for a few seconds, exhale and relax.
Repeat the whole exercise at least twice.
Breath of Fire: Close your eyes and bring your attention between the brows or to the center of your chest near the heart.
Exhale quickly and powerfully out the nose, followed by a natural effortless
inhale. As you exhale, draw your belly back in a pumping motion towards the spine. Repeat for 20 exhales, and then take a deep breath in and hold for a few seconds. Focus on the feeling of energy circulating through the body. Exhale through the mouth while making an audible ‘haaaa’ sound.
Optional: If you want to add arms to this breath, make thumbs up gestures with your hands and extend your arms up and out to create a wide V shape. Relax the arms as you take the final deep breath each round.
Repeat the whole exercise three times. Once you’re done, bring your hands to your heart in the prayer position, eyes closed. Sit for a few seconds focusing on how your body feels.
As you practice this exercise more, you can increase the repetitions from 20 to 40, 60 or more.
