Relaxed Exhale Quote by Anonymous
““Head is tilted slightly forward, and upward. Neck is free and relaxed Shoulders relax downward Shoulders widen Back lengthens On the outbreath especially concentrate on allowing the above 5 points to happen The diaphragm may naturally sink on the inhale as your body assumes the natural posture (as contrasted with moving upward during the inhale) This allows the chest to expand without the shoulders lifting upward The air comes into the body as a natural action, not as a sucking. The body is in general to be relaxed One can practice making an ahhh sound on the exhale, which teaches the body to be relaxed on the exhale. There are certain stimuli and situations that can cause a person to go into a tightening of their body. One can practice inhibiting ones reactions to those stimuli. Let go of end-gaining, the attachment of getting to a goal.””
