Expanding Breath Potential

Rhythm is the surest way to find the path of ease.

Maintaining and building upon your lung capacity is a requirement (particularly as you age), if living in a vital body that is fluid in movement in your later years is your goal.

The one breath IN without the focus being on expansion and the same breath OUT timing without the focus being on upliftment leaves very little room for growth.

And it is limited because growth can be limited by unconscious habits.

If you knew how often you probably hold your breath throughout your day you’d be shocked.

With the old adage, “Use it or loose it!” shown countless times to be correct, focusing on your breathing throughout your waking hours is the first step to restoring your lung function.

And believe me, if you practice the three TriBreath rhythms, the 3-STEP, 5-STEP & 7-STEP when you walk throughout your day, then you’ll know how often you have been holding your breath.

In this video, let’s apply the Little Breath Technique to the 2nd of the TriBreath breathing rhythm’s, the 5-STEP.

So using the 5-STEP with the Little Breath Technique

The 1st IN-breath is going to be a little breath.
The 2nd IN-breath is going to be a bigger breath.
The 3rd IN-breath is going to be your biggest breath.
And then on your exhalation, your breath OUT, the 1st OUT-breath is going to be a little breath OUT.
The 2nd OUT-breath is going to be your biggest breath out.

The Easiest Rhythm To Practice

The 5-STEP breathing rhythm is the easiest rhythm to use for the majority of us.

The extra beat and time to express the exhalation (based on lots of observation and experience), is the reason for this.

Again, draw your three IN-breaths up your back using your spine for direction, and express your two OUT-breaths down the front of your body to return to the IN-breath and your sacrum.

It’s beautiful stuff.

When you feel the connection you’ll know it’s the way your body is designed.

As one of my dear friends said, “So simple yet so effective!”

The OUT-breath: Engaging the Core for Spinal Lift

As little as it is known, the breathing cycle begins with the exhalation.

The full potential of the cup to be filled depends on its ability to be fully emptied.

It is the drawing in from the bottom that expands the top.

Engaging your core is vital on the exhale as it both lifts your spine and allows your respiration to easily bring in life-giving oxygen.

As i’m using the 5-STEP for this video, your OUT-breath is two breath’s OUT as your squeeze your belly in.

Be it the 3-STEP, 5-STEP, or the 7-STEP, the same principles apply.

Integrating the Little Breath Technique into Your Daily Life

Make the Little Breath technique a part of your daily life by integrating your practice in your daily life.

Here are some tips to help remember.

Do it before meetings.
Use it every time you’re walking.

Posture Check Reminders

As you breathe IN, lift your shoulders Up, Back and Down.
As you breathe OUT, point your thumbs in the direction you’re going, pull your chin in and lift your head up from the back of your skull!

If you can’t see your sternum your heads sitting too far forward.

Practice leading with your heart, not your head 🙂
