LOTUS FLOWER BREATHING EXERCISE

This lotus flower breathing excercise is a short but effective way to  clear your mind and to energise your body bringing you into a spiritual balance with yourself and the world around you. Find a quiet and comfortable place where you will not be disturbed. Sit in an upright lotus position.

Now we are ready. Namaste

Rest your arms on your knees and follow my instructions: Take a deep breath of pure oxygen through your nose…. And at the same time imagining you are pulling in joy, peace, love, happiness, good health deep into your lungs down into your belly. Full your belly with that pure oxygen. Your belly should be expanding as it fills up with air. Hold this for 3-5 seconds.

Now when you release this air… move your arms towards the top of your head in a praying position whilst squeezing gently the air out through your mouth. Your belly should contract whilst pressing the air through your lungs out of your mouth. Try to keep this for 3-5 seconds.

Again, repeat this exercise. Your hand are in a praying position above your head. Breath in fulling your lungs and your belly with oxygen whilst you move your

arms down towards your belly. Rest the palms of your hand over your full belly of air. Start rubbing in circles over your belly.

Now…release the air slowly and simultaneously move your arms up above your head whilst releasing all the tensions, pains, worries, anxiety, sadness, bad health out of your lungs through your mouth.

Take a few moments to enjoy this feeling and then begin again by repeating  this breathing exercise at least 5 times to get the full benefits. Remember to hold the air in your lungs and belly for 3-5 seconds and releasing the air for a slow 3-5 seconds.

Only stop this exercise once you feel that your mind, body and spirit are in balance with yourself and the world around you.

Namaste
