Portals Practices are a wide array of activities and processes that can enhance well-being, inner balance and harmony. Practices help us integrate our inner lives and awareness and connect to our natural creative potential. We’re also tuning our lives to the greater intelligence, strength and support that is always available to us.
This is the fourth in a new Portals series of practices designed to bring healing, balance and relief to the busy, noisy and sometimes stressful lives that many of us may feel at one time or another. Think of the series, Internal Human Orchestra Work (IHOW), as “tuning” our inner instruments — the energies, qualities and finer lives — that together produce the symphony a human life can be.
The practice focuses on breath and engages the human capacity to experience two ends of a continuum, often seen as a polarity. It makes use of the reversibility of contracted and expanded conditions, thus allowing access to a new pathway through breathing and energy/mind practice.
Steps
- 1: When you are ready, sit or stand in a place that you feel at ease in
- 2: Feel the weight, steady and balanced, in contact with the ground, the foundation that is provided
- 3: Focus on your breathing and appreciate the continuous flow of new air coming and going
- 4: Follow the guidance of the recording, leading you through the different movements and encouraging you to find your own combinations
This practice emphasizes the natural gift of breathing as an opportunity of contracting and expanding the system to release tension and to make space for replenishment.
