10 Breaths

I just want to share a current and new practice of mine. I got the idea from what one of my friends said. I've found a few stretches that make me feel good, get the blood flowing, and give me energy. Personally, I focus on stretching my hips, shoulders, hamstrings, and spine. I hold the stretches for 10 breathes each and it feels great.

This particularly pertains to stretching of the body but certainly can be applied to other aspects of life such as loss of focus, in response to a stressor, or when feeling light-headed. It's quite remarkable how simple, controlled breathing can bring one back in alignment. 

Give it a try in the morning, at night, or whenever feels right!
