Listen "5b: Meditation and Writing Prompt for BeeVive"
Episode Synopsis
In this meditation, I'll guide you through a breathing practice known as Bramhari, or bumblebee breath.
In the first part of this episode, I explain how the meditation works; I then guide you into a state of focus and relaxation and then you will practice the breath in your own time.
For the breath, take a normal inhalation and then for the exhalation you make a humming sound until you have no more breath left to exhale (allow it to fade naturally rather than trying to make it as long as possible). We practice three of these with hands below the navel, three with hands either side of the chest, three with hands either side of the top of the head.
Focus on the vibration that is created in your body and any images, words or phrases that come up. You don't have to write about bees in this one, just allow whatever comes through after you've tried the breath to come through, without judgement or expectation.
Let me know how you get on.
Enjoy!
