Health & Healing
These exercises and techniques will help bolster your general health and immune system, ward off seasonal bugs, speed healing, increase wellness, and manage stress.
This is a great exercise to use if you feel a cold coming on, but it is also very relaxing. It works best if you are lying down with your eyes closed, but you can do it sitting as well. You can count each section of the breath (inhale/hold/exhale/hold) or not, but if you do try to use the following ratio: 2/1/2/1 for example 4 count inhale, 2 count hold, 4 count exhale, 2 count hold (or 6/3/6/3 etc).
1. Inhale and visualize the breath coming in through the top of your head and follow it down to the bottom of your stomach
2. Hold it there and imagine it as a ball of energy
3. On the exhale, imagine it like water coursing down from your stomach and out the balls of your feet.
4. Hold before inhaling again Repeat a total of 3 times
