Using a ball we explore areas of our bodies that can use some TLC.  I recommend finding a ball that works best for you.  You may find that you prefer to have a few different balls of varying intensities/sizes.  The goal is breathing as a means of release.  Finding places of tension and breathing encouraging the whole body to release is the goal.  It is tempting to find an intense spot and bear down on it all costs, but seldom does this approach afford efficient long term practices.  I encourage you to be open to using softer balls with less density in order to encourage the entire body to release.

Yes, the title of this episode is a little "out there" and therefore potentially "off brand" but sometimes it is what it is... I encourage you to follow your natural breathing pattern. From a sitting posture, when you inhale, your torso expands and rises like a balloon, when you exhale you slowly deflate. Use that to help guide you through this episode. We focus on continuing to move our bodies during the spaces where there is neither inhale nor exhale. This sense of expanse in a void is very luscious and feels amazing.

Moving in conjunction with a breathing cycle is an effective means of creating awareness, strength, and mindfulness.  Especially when the lower half (legs) have to move at a slightly slower tempo from the upper half (torso, arms, shoulders).  The tendency will be to move the legs quickly to the end of the movement and then stay still before the upper half of the body has completed the journey.  Focus on breathing and moving the entire body for the duration of the breath.   If you are still breathing then your appendages should still be moving (unless the instructions tell you otherwise).  Take your time, and enjoy the repetitive patterns that develop to more complex movements that challenge your balance, endurance, and stability.
