TRY BALLOONING
When we become aware of the expansion of our outer bodies, we pull our stomachs in and TIGHTEN the core. But how about becoming aware of the expansion of our INNER bodies? If we allow the body to "balloon" open, the air rushes in and fills the spaces as nature intended. One can feel fat, but fat inside. The body now feels like an open column.
The neck opens. The ribs expand, allowing the heart to open. The stomach expands inwardly like a barrel. The thighs expand, the calves of the legs expand, and the body seems to FLOAT on the two balloons that are now your feet. When you are open ABOVE your head and BELOW your feet - your body becomes one open TUBE filled with air. This is a COMPLETE breath. Allow nature to take that breath.
Then.........
IF YOU PUNCH A HOLE IN THE BALLOON, THE AIR WILL ESCAPE!
There is always movement inside the body's inflated balloons.
DON'T LEAK!
