CURLED TONGUE BREATHING

Here is another breathing exercise:

  • A) Sit or lie in a comfortable position, close your eyes, relax and place your hands in your lap or at your sides.

  • B) Extend your tongue out of your mouth and roll it into a "U" shape so as to almost make a tube. (If you can not roll your tongue into a "U" shape, do the inhale through the nose).

  • C) Inhale through the rolled tongue in eight separate movements. (At about 2 movements per second) (You will really feel this in your diaphram)

  • D) Now exhale through the nose in eight separate movements. (At about 2 movements per second)

  • E) Repeat the sequence and continue for about 5 minutes. You will notice some very interesting internal changes taking place. (This exercise releases tension, stimulates metabolism and increases energy level and healing)

I hope you enjoyed the first two breathing exercises. If you have mastered them they will serve you well. In the next two segments I will offer you two more tools to add to your mental and emotional tool box.
