‘Sometimes, just a little change in perspective can turn a bad day into a good one’ – Paula Rollo

Dear All,

 

I hope your week started well.  And should you run into any ‘obstacles’, a small change of perspective might help you find a solution.

 

As I am working from my home office, formerly known as dining room, I realized that my dining chair is not very ergonomic.  ‘My back reminds me’ quite often that I have been sitting too long.  If you also encounter some back issues and need a breather, I invite you to below breathing exercise, which helps to loosen up the lower back:

 

Put your hands on your knees (feet on the floor) and do below movements slowly, following your breathing

 

Take a deep inhale and exhale deeply to begin

 

Inhale - straighten your back, look to the ceiling

Exhale – round your back, chin to chest

 

Inhale - straighten your back, look to the ceiling

Exhale – round your back, chin to chest

 

Inhale - straighten your back, look to the ceiling

Exhale – round your back, chin to chest

 

Take a deep inhale and exhale deeply to end

 

If you like a longer ‘Moment to Breathe’ join me on YouTube for a new 10 minute session and ‘leaf on a stream’ meditation: https://youtu.be/jS8JjcnnTO0

 

Have a great week and stay well – Sylvia
