Ever wonder how air actually gets inside of your lungs? Take a long hard look at this. Then take a nice long slow breath. Let this image inform your sense of motion, gentle exertion and expansion. If you are like most people I work with, this won’t make any sense, as your respiratory reflex either was imprinted to you incompletely or was arrested by trauma or distorted developmental processes. I am continually amazed at how athletes, dancers and yogis have such distorted and incomplete breathing capacity, and this is one of the main reasons that I teach breath and require clients to engage in a deep, rhythmic, diaphramatic breath while on the massage table. This is essentially what ‘holotropic’ massage means and I will be posting more about this as time goes on. Meanwhile, do your own self-study and explore breathing to your fullest degree. It will change your life for the better -I absolutely guarantee it!!!
