Experience: An Exercise In Breathing: Stand with feet slightly wider than hip distance, knees slightly bent. Imagine there is a cord dropping from your perineum (the space between the genitals and the anus, or the bottom of the torso), down between your feet, and into the center of the earth. Imagine your feet grow roots into the earth. This cord and your roots connect you firmly to earth, grounding you strongly, making you sturdy, like a mountain. Now, imagine there is a cord coming down from heaven, connecting to the tip-top of your head, dangling you upward, making your neck long, and the weight of gravity lighter. This cord lifts your being, creating space between each vertebra. Close your eyes. Imagine yourself, connected between heaven and earth, as the perfect conduit, or bridge, between heaven and earth.
Begin breathing fully with arms open at your sides, sink your weight dropping your pelvis down and bending your knees and exhale. Inhale with palms up and rise with your breath as you gather energy as your arms float above your head. Exhale and deposit energy through your crown, allowing all the fresh breath and energy to wash across your being. Repeat in repetitions of 3, 6 or 9
