Breathing
This week my the focus of my self-care practice has been breathing. My lingering cough and asthma symptoms have pushed me to be more aware of my breathing and advocate for more medical intervention. It has also pushed me to be more in tune with my body, differentiating when I need extra care and rest and when I have the ability to do more.
Most of the time our breathing is something we aren’t required to pay attention to. Yet how we breath can have such a profound impact on our physical, mental, and emotional health. When I am struggling with my breathing, I notice that I am breathing more shallowly and consequently am more tired, irritable, and easily dysregulated. When I am breathing with more ease, my breath is deeper and slower, leading me to feel more energized, focused, and relaxed. Pausing to notice our breath is an important self-care practice. It gives us information about how we are feeling and provides the opportunity to actively care for ourselves with a few deep breaths, engaging our parasympathetic nervous system and decreasing our stress levels.
Please join me Saturday, June 17 from 3-4 pm for a New Moon Crystal Singing Bowl Sound Bath. Give yourself the gift of rest and relaxation, allowing the vibrations of the singing bowls to soothe your mind, ease your body and fill your spirit. The event will be in person at On the Move Studio, 925 S. Niagara, Suite 500, Denver, CO. Space is limited, so reserve your spot asap - Crystal Singing Bowl Sound Bath. Please share with anyone you think would be interested.
I have a more flexible schedule over the next couple of months and would love for you all to experience a Sound Healing and/or Reiki treatment. Both are deeply relaxing and healing and the combination is even more powerful. Treatments can be done in person or online. Let me know if you are interested! lisa@findingthebalancewithin.com.
Please join me this weekend for Saturday Morning Yoga to pause, listen to your body, and care for it with lovingkindness. Previous recordings of Saturday Morning Classes as well as Evening Chair Yoga are available on my Youtube channel.
