Karen guides a 15-minute breathwork practice with three rounds of nasal breathing, funnel breathing through the mouth, breath holds, and pelvic squeezes to release trapped energy. The session ends with natural breathing and gratitude.
All right, welcome all the beautiful breathing people to another Karen breathwork session. Today's journey, we're going to be doing three rounds to build up some stuck energy and tension in our body in order for it to be released, leaving us feeling more calm and clear and connected. So we'll practice two techniques. The first technique will be in through the nose, out through the mouth. Two inhales, one relaxed exhale, two strong inhales, starting in the belly to the heart. Then relax to exhale out the mouth. Beautiful. And then we'll finish each round with funnel breathing. So we'll switch to in and out of the mouth to build up a bit more energy and tension. So view your body as a funnel, starting very narrow, then working up, opening towards the top and your mouth being the guide. So the breath begins, filling your belly with purslane lips, the narrow part of a funnel. And then as the breath moves up your body, you open your mouth a bit wider, reaching the top of the funnel where it's completely open. Beautiful. So this is a powerful, activating breathing routine. It's not for everyone. So read in the description if this journey is for you. And to balance out this activation, we're going to be holding our breath after the exhale, after each round, doing our best to just let go of any physical form to be completely present with what is. So find your way to a comfortable position. This could be done seated in a safe environment, or it could be lined out. See what your body is asking for today. Bring a gentle smile to your face. A little excitement for today's journey. And we'll begin with nasal breathing. Two inhales, one exhale.
