This conversation might feel uncomfortable but it’s important to have it. Besides dealing with the pandemic, the world is also dealing with its own problem. I don’t have to remind you what’s going on out there, you can witness it too. The thing is even if it doesn’t impact us directly, the fact remains that we’re all part of it. There’re build up tensions in the air, and we’re absorbing it. I have felt it and I am sure that you have too. The feeling of knots in the stomach or throat. Headaches, lack of concentration, and the feeling of being drained.  They’re all part of the accumulation of stress and anxiety that we can learn to let go of. Let’s start with just 3 minutes of breathing.

 

 

If you want to be at peace bring yourself back to the present moment. @jeaniquepilates  

 

 
 
Two steps to release tension and anxiety
 
 
Strong or not, the accumulation of worry and anxiety since the last two months can creep up and take you off guard. The reason that I’m bringing that up today, it’s to make you aware that it’s normal to start feeling like this. You’ve kept it together for the last two months, but there’s only so much one can take, you know! When anger and sadness arise, it”s the way of your body starting the process of expressing itself, and here is what to do:
 
Step one: Accept how you feel – feel it and sense it.
 
Step two: Take steps to release those fears and tensions.
 
It’s our responsibility to change our vibrational energy not only for us but for the people around us and our family.
 

How meditation works

Part 1: Eckhart Tolle – a.k.a ” the father of the now,” said, ‘always bring yourself back to the present moment if you want to be at peace.’ Sensing yourself exactly where you’re right now is how to begin. This is why today, I am starting your lesson with a few minutes of seated breathing. You can do this throughout the day when you feel your energy building up into tensions. There’s nothing more efficient than breathing. Your heart moves with the rhythm of your lungs; the more you breathe, the less tension you will hold in your heart center. Even now, as you read these words, breathe, shed tension and bring yourself back to this moment.
 
Part 2: Neutral Pelvis
To stay in part with meditation, as we apply the neutral pelvis as the theme of the month, today’s movement class is titled meditation in movement.
Application – When you aligned yourself, energy can flow down to the legs, feet, and back to your head. In the neutral pelvis, your spine sits directly on your legs. What that means is your spine can transfer gravity straight to the ground. When your body does that, you won’t create imbalances.
No imbalances, no injuries, no wear and tear within the body. The result – extending the life of your joints and bones.
 
Once you’ve had a chance to complete your video and if you like it I would like to know, do you want more videos of meditation and breathing? Looking forward to hear your thoughts.
