Breathing meditation on appreciation

January 5th, 2010 - Be the First to Reply

breathing-appreciationThis TeleMeditations podcast offers you a relaxing form of pranayama to use as a breathing meditation on appreciation. The podcast is 18 minutes long.

Breathing in conjunction with absorbing the higher meaning of the word ‘appreciation’ is a refinement technique.

Practice it to lift your whole being up in vibrational frequency. Note how the practice of breathing appreciation improves your life and your relationships.

After you listen to this podcast and practice breathing meditation, take note of your experience during your practice, and what if any results you have.

Take note of any changes, subtle or obvious. Ask yourself questions like:

  • How do you feel from just doing the breathing?
  • How do you feel practicing appreciation in your daily life?

I’d enjoy reading your comments.
