A guided toric-field energy-balancing exercise (YouTube transcript) led by two speakers. The session instructs participants through embodied breathwork, ocean-style throat breathing, pelvic and jaw micro-contractions, visualizations (apple-shaped torus, pool of light, center of earth and sun), and coordinated hand movements to circulate feminine and masculine energies and set intentions. The practice opens and closes from mountain pose.
This is called the toric field exercise, and it's just to balance the energy flow. So just visualize like an apple shape around your body. And that's what we're going to do with our hands. I'm going to show you the exercise first. Then we're going to begin the class. Just connecting, activating the channel, and then doing this exercise. So basically, we're going to have the right hand up and the palms facing inwards, the left hand down on the inhale. You're going to bring your hands together in front of your heart and switch going to the opposite direction. So the left up and the right down. And this is the whole inhaling process. And then when you exhale, you do this shape around your body, like the apple shape, if you think about it. The right hand up, left hand down, inhaling. So it's a pretty long inhale. And then exhale, inhale. And right here, just to detail. When you're just passing your hands in front of your heart, you just switch directions. So the right one goes down and the left one up. So that's what we're gonna do, but we're gonna activate the channel before one more time. And exhale. Inhale.
Exhale.
So try to have your breathing following the movements. So for that, it's useful if you can slightly contract your jaw the way we always do during the classes. And you do the ocean breathing, so you hear your own breath passing down your throat. So let's just begin in mountain pose. Close your eyes, the palms of your hands facing forward. Lift your toes and put it back. Lift your heels and put it back. And just open this channel of communication between your feet, your body, and the earth. Big inhale and exhale. Slightly contract your pelvis. Engage your shoulders. Open your heart. Slightly contract your jaw. Just connect with your throat. Eye gaze up. Inhale from your legs to your heart and exhale above your head. Inhale from your crown to your heart and exhale down the spine. Visualize the pool of light to feet beneath where you are. Inhale from that space to your heart and exhale off your crown. Inhale from feet above your head to your heart and exhale down. Take your imagination to the center of the earth, the sacred feminine energy. Inhale from that space and bring it to your heart. Hold your breath in your heart. Slightly contract your pelvis and eye gaze up. Keep holding your breath, nurturing yourself from the energies of the earth. Exhale, center of the brain, crown to the center of the sun. Inhale from the center of the sun. Action. Focus. Boundaries the masculine sacred energy to your heart. And hold. See if you can. Keep your pelvis contracted and your eye gaze up being your body. And exhale downward. Just return to your normal breathing and connect with an intention. It could be a thought, it could be a sensation rising in your body. Allow it to be. What is your intention? Maybe you could include embracing more of life. And with that intention clear. We're going to begin the toric field exercise. So the right hand up, the left hand down. So the palms facing inward. Let's begin. Inhaling. Bringing your hands down. Switch directions in front of your heart. Keep inhaling and exhale.
Inhale. Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.
If you have your eyes closed, open your eyes. If you have your eyes open, close your eyes again. Inhale.
Exhale.
Just activating a different set of circuits.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.
Last one.
Inhale. Exhale.
And back to mountain pose. Just notice the quality of energies in your body ascending and descending. I have my feminine and masculine imbalance. I feel my way through life.
