Positive Energy: 10 Extraordinary Prescriptions for Transforming Fatigue, Stress and Fear into Vibrance, Strength, and Love
by Judith Orloff
“There’s nothing like following your breath to reel you back to the present during a busy day … The miracle of breath involves inhaling oxygen and expelling toxic carbon dioxide — as well as assimilating your life force’s energy … It’ll ground you in the body and still your thoughts.”
“Breathing activates positive energy. It’s a lifeline to your center, to the earth. With each breath, extend your awareness downward, right into the ground. Picture your breath flowing downward through strata, bedrock, minerals, and soil. Mentally plant a root from your body into the earth’s core. … Picture a long, strong tail stretching down from your spine, rooting you in that nurturing center. As you breathe, feel your connection with the earth deepen. Allow the earth’s positive energy to infuse and stabilize you.”
