Summer Sun Breathwork Journey

Speaker 2 0:05

Welcome to Breathwork , a poetic breathwork experience . I'm your host and breathwork facilitator , annie , and I'll be guiding you through 12 minutes of three-part breathwork . If you're new to the three-part breath , I suggest visiting breathworkcom first to get acquainted . Today's theme is the summer sun during this Leo season , reminding us to shine bright . The sun symbolizes power , vitality and self-assurance , and this season represents a time for creativity , boldness and self-expression . For creativity , boldness and self-expression Is there an area of your life where you feel like you're playing small or not fully expressing your real self ? I've been thinking a lot lately about how the things that lit you up as a child , your true passions , your skills , seem to be the truest representation of yourself in adulthood , whatever your skill , passion or vision is . I hope this breathwork practice helps you get ready to stand in the spotlight boldly and proudly . And with those ideas in mind , we'll embark on a 15-minute breathwork journey to clear space and create room for the freedom to express ourselves . I'll be guiding you through a three-part breath . As a reminder , this breath is done lying down completely flat . All breaths are through the mouth as you cycle the breath from the belly to the chest and exhale . Before we start , gently put a hand on your stomach and a hand on your chest , inhale air into the belly . Now inhale into the chest , shifting it up into your heart space and exhale , fully , repeathaling into your belly . Pressing against your hand Now shifting that air up into your chest , inhaling , nudging that top hand and then fully releasing . As always , you may experience tingling or numbness in your face or limbs , getting hot or cold or cramped hands or numbness in your face or limbs , getting hot or cold or cramped hands . This is all normal and I encourage you to lean in If it ever becomes too much . Take a few breaths through your nose before returning . Once we've completed the three-part breath , you'll relax for a song . Before I read a poem I wrote for you containing messages from the summer sun .

Speaker 2 2:46

Now let's get started . We'll start with some easy breaths through the nose and out through the mouth , just to get grounded in the breath . Make sure you're in a comfy spot , no distractions , and start gently taking inhales through the nose and out through the mouth , gently cycling in through the nose and out through the mouth , through the mouth , releasing any tension in your jaw , allowing your forehead to completely relax , expressionless , restful , letting your limbs fall against the ground as you take these nice , easy inhales and exhales . Baby , shake your head side to side , getting your hips nice and relaxed against the ground , inhaling this relaxation and exhaling anything that happens before right now Clearing , clearing the mind , resting the body , grateful for this small break from the everyday . Gratitude for our breath , gratitude for the ability to fill our lungs , to fill our belly and experience other parts of our minds , the parts that are always there underneath the racy thoughts .

Speaker 2 5:10

A couple more inhales and exhales , getting ready to enter into the three-part breath . So , belly chest exhale , belly chest exhale . Belly chest exhale , all through the mouth , cycling the breath In a looping circle as you bring air into the belly , shift it to the chest and then release . Not forcing , not foreseen , just letting them flow like a wave up into the belly , into the heart space , letting it go Inhale , exhale , inhale , inhale , exhale .

So far , you've got it , you got it Feeling into each of these final breaths , slowing it down , down .

Speaker 2 17:20

Final breaths . You made it . Now you can switch to nasal , breathing Lightly , inhaling through the nose , exhaling through the mouth , relaxing , no-transcript . Your eyes remain closed as you gently rest and a bright , blinding light fills your mind . The light then softens as you find yourself lying on a cotton light cloud in a turquoise sky . Hello , sweet friend , says a voice , and you realize it's from the hot breath of the sun . I've been shining my brightest for you lately and I've loved watching your summer fun and I loved watching your summer fun . There's some things I want to show you how I'm like you and you're like me . Take a look out of this telescope , says the sun , and I'll show you what I mean .

Speaker 2 22:21

You turn to your left to find the telescope and up to its lens you put your eye . You zoom in on your neighborhood , where you spend most your time . Everything appears more vibrant . Leaves on the trees reflect lime , green , coral , red , bursts on blooming petals . Even dandelions look like a lush citrine . The sun says my light contains all colors , the whole rainbow in equal parts . Yours does too , when you choose to explore where boredom ends and beauty starts .

Speaker 2 23:03

The telescope then shifts into your home and you see yourself looking tense , doubting your choices and your worth wishing that this world made more sense . Just then the sound of laughter thunders and you realize it's coming from the sun . The sound of vibrations are contagious and you find yourself laughing right along . And vibrations are contagious and you find yourself laughing right along . What if I told you it doesn't really matter those things that are only skin deep ? The sun tells you not to be so concerned about things on the surface that you can see .

The Sun's Deceptive Glow

Speaker 2 23:43

Looks can be deceiving , says the sun . Looks can be deceiving , says the sun . Like me who looks like a fire to most , but it's really the energy at my core allowing me not to burn but always glow . It's this nuclear fusion that lights us up , the reactions that take place on our insides , where your heart is allowed to love and where your true strength is derived . The sun shares its final thoughts . As you recline back onto the peachy cloud , I hope you create art that is too much or wear colors that seem too loud . Create art that is too much or wear colors that seem too loud , and please allow your energy to radiate from your core to the world outside , finding yourself reinvigorated in the belief no-transcript .

Speaker 2 28:13

I hope you take it easy on yourself drink some water , eat a sweet and I'll see you next time . Thank you .
