With Dunja Carlson Moeller PhD

As the tree sap starts flowing and the sweetness of life returns to the sugar maples our connection to nature reminds us how all humans are intimately linked to the world of trees. Looking closer, our lungs resemble an upside down tree connecting us to the life producing oxygen the outer trees provide. In this dance of inhale and exhale, expansion and contraction we live and breathe allowing prana energy to travel into our bodies on the conscious breath.

Our inhale mirrors how we receive life taking in life- force and oxygen that then goes to heal anything the breath highlights in the body. The body responds with shivers of delight and in turn produces the sweetness of life in our dancing cells now filled with life-giving oxygen. Our exhale invites us to shed the old, letting go of sluggishness and toxins releasing the carbon dioxide to our brother’s the trees.

I call the Art of Natural Breathing “big medicine” as it clears out the old and invites in the new, a perfect re-birth for spring. At the heart of this circular breath lies the invitation to experience the joy of being alive, vibrant and aware. Miraculously old hurts and patterns that do not serve us any longer get cleared out and through the breath we experience the true nourishment of our body and spirit.
