Episode 102: Two Feet, Five Breaths (3-Minute Thursday)

Welcome to 3-minute Thursday. This week I introduce a way to bring more ease into your day.
The practice is called Two Feet, Five Breaths. It takes one minute and requires no equipment. All you need is a place to sit and some form of breathing apparatus. (I recommend the lungs.)
The other great thing about this practice? You prove once and for all that what happens in Vagus does not stay in Vagus.
That’s Vagus, the nerve, which is the best instrument for shifting your body from “fight, flight or freeze” mode to “rest and digest.”
So you can find the ease and inner calm that brings you into the current moment.
All in 3-minutes. So you can stop listening—and start practicing.
