BREATHING TO NEW BLUE SUN

MEDITATION FOR THE MOUFS OF DA SOUF 

Inhale, exhale. Easy enough right? 
According to the American Lung Association, we breathe about 17,000 times a day. Majority of those breaths come and go, and not a single thought passes through our brains about them. Breathing is a part of a complex system, that is constantly working for us, and with us, to keep us alive. There is so much power in breathing. 
So what if we channeled that breathing to further understand the uniqueness of our body, and the person that inhabits it? What if we used breathing to tap into our high energy?
Well first that would require us to understand what high energy is. We over at Da Souf believe high energy is when you are able to operate at a higher frequency, and also have the knowledge and ability to navigate back to a higher frequency when faced with adversity. Your highest is when you feel your best, and even when you are at your lowest you can recognize the difference, and make the changes you see fit. According to EQ Minds; a platform that educates and empowers people to prioritize and care for their mental health, you can achieve this through simple practices implemented into your daily routine.
As the year comes to an end and we prepare for the next one, We’re gonna need a soundtrack to help us tighten up our routines and tap into our high energy. Conveniently Andre 3000 just recently released his new album New Blue Sun. So let’s take this time and space to learn, listen and leverage a project with one of the most unique sounds coming out of Da Souf. 
Here's how we are going to do it:

  1. Let the sun’s rays touch your eyes and skin first thing in the morning. When you do this, recite affirmations to yourself to track 5, Ninety Tree ‘Til Infinity and Beyonce

    Don’t be afraid to have a conversation with yourself. What do you want? Claim it. Claim it again & ten times over. Reach deep down inside and profess all that you desire and more. This track is approximately 4 mins long. Imagine how transformative your days can be when you dedicate your first few minutes with intentionality to yourself and your future self. Here are a few affirmations to get you started.

  2. SPend 10-20 meditating to track 8, Dreams Once Buried Beneath The Dungeon Floor Slowly Spout Into Undying Gardens

    At 17 Minutes long, this track will transport you to any place in the world. Think about what you want. Where will you be when you get it? How will it feel inside, and outside of your body? Imagine what it will look like to achieve the goals that you spend your days so passionately putting your energy toward. If you aren’t working on your goals, imagine what you think it would look like to work on them. And if you don’t know that’s okay, release your control and allow your mind to float away to a random place. Here are a few poses to get you in the zone.

  3. Practice breathing techniques to track 4, BuyPoloDisorder’s Daughter Wears A 3000® Shirt Embroidered

    Give 13 minutes of your day to breathe to the beat of track 4. This song will take you on an adventure. The sounds of the song suggest a journey with highs, lows, twists and turns. Allow those sounds to guide the pace of your breathing, but still maintain your control. This journey is nothing without you. Here are a few techniques to help you maximize your inhale & appreciate your exhale.

  4. Gently move your body and warm up your joints by doing morning tai chi ritual to track 2, The Slang World P(*)ssy Rolls Off The Tongue With The Far Better Ease Than The Proper Word Vaginna . Do You Agree?

    Choose a tai chi ritual routine and get that body moving! If you’re feeling creative, make your own. Just don’t stop moving throughout the entire 14 minute track. Here’s our recommendation.

  5. Stand barefoot outside on the grass or dirt to track 3, That Night In Hawaii When I Turned Into a Panther And Started Making These Low Register Purring Tones That I Couldn’t Control … Sh¥t Was Wild

    Touch some grass before you begin your day! No seriously, take the time to feel the earth below your feet. Feel its temperature welcome your body back to full consciousness. The day is yours to have, hold, and release back to the earth that has so graciously given us a place to breathe.

And y'all know we family, so we won’t leave you empty handed. Here are a few books from Black authors that will help us to further the explore the different types of meditation:
