Calming & Balancing

Try this easy breathing technique called the Hugging Breath that I also use with my clients to help relax them if they cannot get to sleep.

  • Sitting or lying down in bed before sleeping.
  • Put your arms straight out in front of you, palms of your hands facing each other, thumbs upwards towards the ceiling.
  • Now bend your elbows, cross your arms and tuck your fingers under your armpits with your thumb resting on your body.
  • The places where your thumbs rest are acupressure points that will help rebalance your energies.
  • Now breathe in fully into the lungs (just the upper part of the body, not down into the abdomen)
  • Breathe in until your lungs are very full and you feel the air right up into the shoulders.
  • Breathe out…then…breathe in and out repeating 36 times or until you drop off to sleep.
