Part Six of ‘Touching the Body with the Breath’: Breath In the Head

Episode 45

Sunday, November 3, 2024 • Duration 06:48

The final exploration on this breathing journey through the body is the head.

When we breathe, the beginning and conclusion of the flowing breath are held within the head as air passes through the nostrils, connecting us to the surrounding space.

Yoga philosophy believes that inhaled air carries 'universal energy', akin to a life force or prana. Conversely, when we exhale, we release 'biological energy'—the energy generated by our body.

With this episode’s meditation, enjoy exchanging those energies, which fosters our connection with the universe and those around us.

How to Do Less and Receive More (+ Meditation)

Episode 35

Saturday, June 24, 2023 • Duration 55:34

In this episode, I had the privilege of being interviewed by Lilly Balch from the Morning Ritual Podcast, a dedicated meditation podcast that provides listeners with reflections and techniques for inner peace.

During our collaboration, we discussed embracing a slower pace in yoga, movement, breathing, meditation, and daily life. By consciously letting go and doing less, we explored how it can lead to being more present with ourselves.

The conversation was inspired by my blog post titled "Seven Tips to Do Less and Receive More", which I published in March 2023.

Throughout our discussion, we explored the challenges of adopting a mindset of doing less and shared various techniques and tips based on those seven tips.

Towards the end of the episode, I offered a guided meditation based on the tips mentioned in the blog and our conversation. If you want to skip to the meditation, go straight to minute 39:08.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy listening to this episode. And if you're interested, you can also listen to Lilly Balch's podcast directly using this link: https://www.lillybalch.com/podcast or subscribe to 'The Morning Ritual' on your favourite podcast platforms.

Breath Awareness Meditation, the Door to Samadhi

Episode 34

Saturday, February 25, 2023 • Duration 33:08

Pranayama and meditation are deeply rooted in the yoga tradition.

Together, and with other tools, they contribute to progressively more profound levels of meditative experiences. These tools are described in Pantajali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga.

It is interesting to see where pranayama is positioned on this list.

It is placed after the physical yogic experience (asanas) and before the subtler practices of internalisation (pratyahara), concentration (dharana), and meditation (dhyana).

Patanjali tells us that breath is the only open the door to meditation and enlightenment (samadhi).

According to Yoga, meditation is about finding inner stillness, liberation, and spiritual enlightenment where the self, the mind, and the object of meditation merge into one.

To achieve this, we must patiently go through different stages and techniques where the breath is omnipresent.

A well-designed plan of numerous methods is required to experience a profoundly satisfying meditation day after day.

This plan has five stages, and we will experience them together in a 22-min meditation starting at 10':10".

Cellular breathing – a meditation with our silent breath.

Episode 33

Saturday, November 26, 2022 • Duration 23:49

In this episode, Laurent explains the difference between external respiration (normal breathing) and internal respiration (cellular breathing).

Although each of those different ways to breathe has specific roles in keeping us healthy, they are inseparable and feed each other.

The meditation in this episode shows us the way toward a deep place within ourselves and connects us to cellular breathing.

A place where our consciousness expands and connects us to the oneness of our infinite-celled landscape.
Cellular breathing generates life and energy and brings greater awareness of our true selves. Let's experience this calming and silent cellular breathing together.

The meditation starts at 12'25''.
