How to heal? It’s all within you
You make it real when you begin to
Breathe more consciously
Small beginnings grow great trees
Saplings, limbs, flowing with ease
From breath to breath, sweet release
in the wind your choice of destinies
oxygen was made to please
preventive measure against disease
like inflammatories, or suppository stories
little stones lurking in the bladders and the kidneys
This is a student-teacher class alliance
Forget the rest, here’s the guidance:
Lay on your bed, sink your back in
A little music in the background, not too distracting
Or sit up in a chair, comfortable, relax your back
Lips part open, let your jaw hang slack
Breathing Lessons Rhymed
Ten quick little gasps at the upper chest
Then one big full one … then rest
A lot of you who have had enough of the sin scale
now take the time to find your exhale and inhale
This beat is fast, but there’s plenty of space
For you to slow your breath down
to a methodical pace
Long, deep, until you know
There’s no pain in relaxing
Tho you may hear your heart race
Breathing through your nostrils
will be calming ………..
Straight through the mouth
a little more disarming …
Either way you want to keep it uninterrupted
Or perhaps a sacred pause, just be aware of how you’ve sculpted
Breathing Lessons Rhymed
Loosen your feet, breathe from the core in
flex the toes, everything warming
Let them flop out, fully informing
the relaxation, and then the attention
Present moment only mention
mind may drift, feeling lingers
This time breathe into the fingers
Breathing Lessons Rhymed
I’m working now with a gentle approach
Telling you how ‘cos I’m your breathing coach
There is no struggle or fear in this cleansing breath
Wish I could have tried it with Lady Macbeth
It’s tingly and light near all the edges of my flesh
Nothing is arrested, its easy and fresh
It looks too easy to be true,
but it’s not too easy,
just easy
If you
Relax enough to not force yourself to breathe hard
Breath will reconnect when you let it go on the discharge
Breathe energy healing force into every cell
Guide it down to the gastrointestinal
or to the top of your head, your infant fontanelle
Feel the organs contract, and then the organs swell
Exhale through the body, inch by inch
And when you catch your breath, notice how you flinch

We don’t need a diagram in our lesson plan
Just feel below your ribs:
the diaphragm
Elastic muscle
thin and wide
Pushes out all
the carbon dioxide
Cause what festers inside
Makes a gas miasma
Predisposing you to asthma
Other systems relate to the respiratory
Endocrine, immune, circulatory
like interlocking chapters in an epic story
of the body and mind in a spiritual glory
Respiratory and the cardiovascular
getting to know, so when they ask you who you are
you can take it back clear to the tribes of Abraham
elevated physical, spoken from the diaphragm
Some say it may be good enough to breathe unconsciously
Yet old patterns stay the same
obnoxiously
So keep on learning
Slow or fast
Your breath is with you
Built to last
A dozen little systems
Breathing for themselves
while you’re dealing and doing
we’re all made up of cells!
Take a deep one to your liver
And exhale one up to your brains
Breath always will deliver
Whatever it sustains
And remember, bye and bye
When you need to let out a sigh
{sigh}
