\"Fly<\/a><\/p>\n

Lungs are where we house grief, sadness. \u00a0These emotions are with us over time.<\/p>\n

Our lungs constantly work throughout our lives…from the first breath to the last. \u00a0It’s interesting to me that they have no muscles. \u00a0Diaphragm \u00a0muscles keep pumping the lungs.<\/p>\n

When anguish, dependence, stress, anger, sadness, and fatigue take over in our lives, it is difficult<\/p>\n

to be independent,<\/p>\n

to think clearly,<\/p>\n

to say “no”,<\/p>\n

to honor oneself,<\/p>\n

to heal,<\/p>\n

to become vital and flexible again,<\/p>\n

to encourage creativity.<\/p>\n

When you find yourself being overtaken by grief and sadness, it’s time to reduce your anxiety.<\/p>\n

Begin by getting comfortable in a seated position.<\/p>\n

Take a deep breath and hold it an extra moment…..<\/p>\n

Breathe out and relax…..<\/p>\n

Breathe in and out for a couple of minutes. \u00a0As you inhale, invite peace and calm to enter your life. \u00a0Relax on the exhale.<\/p>\n

After breathing in and out with peace and relaxation, verbalize this feeling: \u00a0“I invite deep peace and relaxation to enter my life with each breath.”<\/p>\n

Now, continue breathing in and out as you release the sadness, anger, grief in your life.<\/p>\n

Continue to breathe in relaxation and breathe out negativity. \u00a0All you have to do for a couple of minutes is breathe in the positive and breathe out \u00a0negative thoughts.<\/p>\n

As you release negativity and invite relaxation into your life, notice the different ways you begin to feel better.<\/p>\n

Open your eyes now and move gently as you end the session. \u00a0Try \u00a0to repeat this exercise whenever \u00a0you feel overcome by sadness, grief, anxiety, negativity.<\/p>\n

At the end of this exercise, embrace the positive parts of your life.<\/p>\n
