Health Activation: Breathing Exercise to Relieve Stress
Are you feeling wound up, frustrated, anxious, or resentful? Do you need a technique and exercise to quickly dump stress in the middle of your work day?
In this episode, Monica guides listeners on a breathing journey that is meant to cleanse resentment, stress, frustration and anger. Clearing these emotions allows for the newness of spring to bring fresh opportunities into our lives, and rid ourselves of stress.
In Chinese Medicine, the spring is related to the Liver. As you perform this teapot breathing exercise, Monica will teach you about this hardworking organ and how we can best support it. Releasing tension in your Liver will help release stress and any feelings of being wound-up.
Using your outbreath, you will imagine resentment and stress leaving your body in the form of steam from a boiling tea pot.
It is less important on trying to execute this exercise perfectly, and more important to focus on the intention of this type of breathing. Your intention should be to let go of stress, and breathe in new life.
We hope you enjoy the session!
