hi my name is titanya and welcome to the better breathing challenge this challenge is only seven
days and i know you can do it this challenge is going to help open up your lungs so you could
breathe better have more vitality in your day because you're getting more oxygen and let's face
it this is the time transitions are happening all over the world from either hot to cold seasons or
cold seasons to hot and in those transitions we have colds come up or the flu and right now in
2020 we have covid so if you do this with us for seven days your immune system will get stronger
you'll have more capacity to breathe better and you'll just feel good all around so let's do it
we are first going to start with the thymus thump this is right on your sternum bone right here
so when you thump your sternum bone it goes right to your thymus
your thymus will help make t cells and it will help your immunity
this will just bring a better communication to your lungs overall and wake them up
the next one is the sternum bone right on the place where you were thumping before we're
going to massage up and down this helps you get more sustainability in your breath this is used
for swimmers if you are a swimmer and you want more lung capacity and to hold your breath
underwater or for runners for that extra mile massage your sternum bone ah
and that just brings a just a great vitality to your whole system
the next one we are going to do is the lung meridian now a meridian is an energy pathway
along the body and it connects in with organs and it juices up those organs we're going to do
the lung meridian we're going to flush it which means we're going to go backwards on it once and
forwards three times that means that it will kind of clean out that energy pathway like a pipe in
your kitchen okay so we're going to start at the end of the meridian line on the thumb and we're
going to slowly draw it up going along the line of the thumb up over the shoulder and down about
halfway between the breast and the shoulder and that's where you're going to end you can even give
a little massage here and then shake it off and we're going to go forward three times from that
point up over the shoulder and off the thumb again in breathe in and out and one more time breathe in
and out and off the thumb let's do it on the other side so we're gonna take
the thumb we want to be balanced don't we so let's do it on the side too take the thumb
come all the way up that line over the shoulder and in halfway between the breast and the shoulder
at that point and then shake it off then from that point up over the shoulder and off the thumb
again at that point breathe in in through the nose and out through the mouth as you go down
off the thumb and one more time and through the nose out through the mouth
there you go you flushed lung meridian so now we're going to go right to those points
that we i told you about before this is the beginning of lung meridian
and these are the points that i want you to just massage this will help a persistent cough phlegm
in your lungs and even connect you to grief and unknown grief that you may be having
because the emotion for lungs is grief ah so just massage those take a deep deep breath in and out
so the next thing we're going to do is the next stretch we are going to stretch our jawline
right up underneath our ears which is a triple warmer point this is about fight flight or freeze
but it also connects in to infections as well and bring it down the neck to the heart and then on
the other side we're going to stretch the jaw line it's also good for sore throats come underneath
the ear bring it down the throat and end at your heart the middle of your chest we're ending
at our heart chakra so now we're going to do the digestive breath this one helps your metabolism
and helps oxygen go into your digestion system for a better regulating flow but it also helps
your emotional regulations and helps lung capacity overall so all you want to do is take your feet
shoulder width apart and you're going to bend down take your hands to your thighs your thumbs facing
inward on your thighs and we're going to breathe in and as we do we're going to pull up our stomach
and then hold it and then let go and as your backside comes up and your chest goes forward
out the mouth let's do it again breathe in round your back pull in your stomach
hold it and then out
let's do it one more time in
and out
all right and the last one i just want you to take your hands put them on both sides of your
lungs and hold your lungs and just send amazing beautiful love and color to your lungs for the day
ah in gratitude for all the lungs do for you
and one more time a nice big breath in through the nose out through the mouth
so thank you for joining me doing these exercises for the better breathing challenge
i hope you feel good because i feel really good and tomorrow we'll see you here again thanks
