Welcome back to the Lyme podcast. My name is Aaron Alexander. This program is a place that we bring together

various world-leading experts in all things health and wellness to help you all optimize your mind,

body, and movement, and we also do these solo

podcasts that are pretty much what people ask me to do on Instagram for the most part

and today we're going to do is go through a very basic five minute meditation.

We're going to first start off doing a couple little breath practices.

So the first one is going to be reminiscent of a Wim Hof style breathing.

And it's just going to be essentially like big old honking heavy breaths

through the mouth or nose. It's up to you, whatever feels good.

You'll have greater effect through the mouth,

but the nose is nice because you're actually being more of those

diaphragmatic muscles, so it's more like a

breathing exercise in a way if you do through your nose and it's gonna be a big old

honking breath in I'm gonna do it with you so this the intention of this is that we do

this whole thing together actually so it's gonna sound a little bit like this and then

just letting the breath fall out so big breath in and letting fall out as we're

doing this you want to start off and be in a upright position and I recommend being on the floor and

raising your hips up above your knees you can listen back to the floor sitting episode or check

out the Aline Method book. There's a whole chapter about the value of this and how to

do it and exercises around it. So starting off on the ground, make sure your hips

are above the height of your knees,

so get your booty up on a floor cushion or something of the sort.
