Listen in to a new conversation with Amanda Strojny on her Untapped Power podcast. Amanda talks with thought leaders on topics centering around money and worthiness, your untapped power to be who you truly are. https://amandastrojny.com/podcast
We had a wonderful, deep conversation about how breath practice and regular meditation can bring your focus into a higher alignment with your true nature and express that into your life with greater ease and flow.
Also, I read an article this week about breath practice and reducing your risk of Alzheimer’s in HuffPost. A recent unique study showed that a simple 5:5 breath pattern practiced 20 minutes a day, twice a day for 4 weeks increased heart rate variability, which tends to drop as we age and is an important factor in overall fitness, and decreased amyloid-beta peptides in there blood stream. These peptides are connected to Alzheimer’s and may be the main cause of the disease. https://apple.news/A0JWYDBCtRt60ULqcfeBi6g The Breathing Technique that could reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s.
We practice this 5:5 breath pattern in this episode along with our usual breath practice. We also do some practice on finding things as energy, using the natural world as our canvas. We use our imagination as a sense to find a single flower, which we study deeply with our mind’s eye. We see if we can discern an interior geometry to the flower, an inner patterning that is the flower’s vast, deep beingness. We extend that sensing to the natural world around us, noticing connections between trees, plants, any animals in our vicinity. We recognize the natural world as the ground of our being. We send gratitude for our lives that are supported so freely by the earth herself.
