Mindful Moment: Soaring High Breath

or today's Mindful Moment, we will practice Soaring High Breath. This is a great breathing technique to refocus attention, get a full body stretch, and to encourage deep breathing. Let's try Soaring High Breath.

Find a place to stand where there's enough room to raise your arms straight out to the sides and above.
Begin by standing with the feet shoulder-width apart. Take a deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth with your arms hanging down at the sides of your body.
Then, on the next inhale, allow the arms to slowly float up, straightening the legs, and going up on tiptoes. Exhale as you float your arms back down, bending at the knees and bringing the heels back to the ground. Repeat this several times.

As you practice, you can imagine what kinds of bird are you. Where are you flying? After a few Soaring High Breaths, you can write a story about your bird's adventures.

Thank you for practicing Soaring Hig Breath. We hope you enjoyed today's Mindful Moment!
