Tip of the Week: Go Deeper!

10/4/2012

 
In an attempt to regulate my sporadic blogging habit I have decided to start a Tip Of The Week initiative. I'm going to aim to post one every Thursday.

4 October's tip is: Go Deeper!

Now get your mind out of the gutter for a second and think about everything you've ever been told about breath.

Perhaps you know you don't want to breathe into your shoulders (I hope!), perhaps you even breathe into your side ribs, belly or back ribs. That's great! Now I challenge you to go deeper. See if you can breathe into your pelvis, your bum, hey see if you can breathe into your thighs! Try it this week and see what happens.

Of course, there's a catch: I want to hear from you! Who tried it? How did it feel? What did you realize? How did it change your life? All observations are welcome from the revolutionary to the mundane. (But nothing offensive please, this is a family friendly website.) Post your comments below and every week you'll get to see what other people thought and experienced in this little experiment.

So go now. Live life. Breathe deep. And tell me all about it! ;)

So has anyone been breathing deeper? I have!

Discoveries so far:
1) On the bus breathing into my knees it felt like my breath totally bypassed my ribcage, but when I checked in, those ribs were moving almost as much as when I concentrate on "rib breath".
2) Walking fast I can't breath as low in my body, no knees, but I can absolutely feel it in my bum. And it makes power-walking way easier when I'm late. :)

Have any discoveries of your own? I'd love to hear about them!
