Are you living in your head?

 

One of the easiest yet most profound practices I teach my 1:1 clients is dropping from their minds into their hearts and reconnecting with their breath.

 

We are so used to live in our heads.

We are constantly thinking about who we are, where we are, how to feel safe, how to please those around us so we are feeling seen, heard and understood. 

 

The challenge with living solely in our heads is that we disconnect from our truth.

Disconnecting from who we really are - a spirit who is using this mind and body to enjoy this physical world.

 

We get to learn how to get back to our bodies and feel connected and grounded again.

 

One easy way to do so it’s through your breath.

 

You can do this exercise anywhere and anytime to reconnect with your body and feel more grounded.

 

The focus is to be breathing into your belly. 

 

As when we are breathing into our lungs we are activating our fight-flight-or-fright response because of the sympathetic nerve endings located in upper lungs.

 

Choose instead to focus your slow deep breaths into your belly.

 

Focus on slowly expanding your belly in and out.

 

When we breathe into our belly we are activating healing and creativity because of the parasympathetic nerve endings there, and also increasing blood in lower lungs.

 

What are some of your practices that allow you to drop from your head and BE present?

 

Super open to hear from you!
