Embodiment Lesson 1: All Life Begins with Breath
The Four Stage of Breath
Finally! My fist video ever is getting posted for you. There’s a big learning curve here for me (not being a techy person) so please be patient as I learn how to work with editing software, framing, sound, wind!, etc etc. My intention is to provide…
Embodiment Practices and Teachings for Less Than 15 Minutes A Day!
To actively start to engage with an embodiment practice, the first step is to engage with your own capacity to consciously breathe. In this lesson, I am introducing the four stages of breath to you as a way of gaining awareness around how they correspond to your life experiences.
First you inhale. Then you pause. Next you exhale. Then you pause.
Your embodied and situational comfort or discomfort with all four stages of the breath tells you how you relate to your life as well as the ever important creative wave in the universe, also called the life pulse. In life we expand, pause, contract and pause. Allowing yourself to develop awareness and acceptance of these inherent stages of life is necessary to assimilate, digest, grow, and move forward.

EMBODIMENT LESSON #1
I will be making classes out of my embodiment series, so don’t worry if you can’t afford to subscribe or don’t want to. You’ll be able to purchase a class down the road with extended teachings, videos, exercises, and philosophies.
All of my embodiment posts are meant to be an easy to access non stressful teaching platform for the vital concept of becoming alive to your own body. I welcome any feedback you have in regards to what you want more of, less of, or any questions that develop.
I am a multidimensional being. The concepts I share in these videos are a result of years of study and my own practice. Because of this, there is not one specific root to what I teach. The practices you will encounter are based in Energy Medicine, Kundalini Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Dance, and Breathwork. I will do my best to give sources and credit as required. I have found for myself that by engaging in multiple types of movement and philosophies makes it so I can utilize what is right for my body as it changes. You are invited to do the same. Don’t judge what doesn’t work. Just be open to trying something new!
