SIMPLE PRACTICE:  “Breathing Into Forward Capacity”

Duration: 12:33 minutes

Purpose:
To help the body experience expansion and forward movement without urgency, strengthening your capacity to move toward what you want while staying anchored in yourself.

JOURNALLING PROMPTS

1. Felt Experience of Movement

After today’s breathwork, reflect:

• How did my body respond to the idea of moving forward?
• Where did I feel openness, energy, or willingness?
• Where did I notice hesitation, holding, or neutrality?

Describe what you felt physically, not what you think it means.

2. Old Momentum vs New Momentum

Complete the sentences intuitively:

• When I move forward by pushing, my body feels ___.
• When I imagine moving forward with presence and choice, my body feels ___.

Let the contrast be informative, not evaluative.

3. Relationship to Direction

Reflect gently:

• What does “forward” usually mean to me?
• How did today’s practice shift or soften that idea?

Notice whether direction feels more available when urgency drops.

4. Choice Point Awareness

Consider one area of your life where movement is present right now.

• What would it feel like to move forward here without abandoning myself?
• What kind of pace would honour my body?

You don’t need to decide anything. Just notice.

INTEGRATION PRACTICE

Once today, notice a moment where you feel the urge to rush, push, or force progress.

Pause and ask:

“What would one percent less effort feel like right now?”

Let that be enough.

CLOSING STATEMENT

Write or read slowly:

“I can move forward without pushing.”
“My pace is allowed to support me.”
