Day 4: Breathing
Today I tried some intentional breathing. Two in, two out then two out, two in. One breath on each movement.
Level 3 actually seemed easier today with the breathing. That’s kind of crazy, but it certainly felt like I wasn’t really having to think about where to move to next and could just concentrate on my breathing practice. I totally ‘zenned’ out, letting the different patterns run around, and again no total stuckness here, though there were a couple of mistaken end positions.
Given how easy I found the arms today, I am thinking that Level 3 has been well and truly conquered, but until I get more info on the other levels I might as well keep going with this trial and see what comes up. If nothing else, I’ll find some good ways to mix up other levels too and have some fun with the practice.
