In this practice, from The Embodied Women's Relationship Immersion 2021, John leads feminine practitioners in a Masculine breath practice similar to the Wim Hof method. Three rounds of this breathing are followed by a 2-Part Breath series. To close the session, John leads an Embodied Goddess Form Feminine practice.

For this practice:
You will begin the Wim Hof breath practice seated either with crossed legs or zazen style on the floor on a zafu or cushion. The breath is a full inhale with a donut shaped mouth into the chest and belly with eyes open and an exhaling all the breath out with an 'Ah' shaped mouth. On each inhale and exhale, relax the shoulders and the thighs. Make sure to go at your own pace and adjust your breathing if you begin to feel lightheaded. John will prompt you when to hold your breath and when to place your forehead on the floor in front of you. If you find you become lightheaded, you can stay upright on the holding of your breath.

John will also switch to a 2-part breath series. You can breathe through your nose or your mouth for this portion of the practice. You will be bringing the breath into your chest and heart then into your belly on the second breath. This is working to clear the central channel from your throat down into your belly and womb, activating your core and awakening more sensation in the body. Again, go at your own pace and slow down at any point if you become lightheaded.

For the second part of this practice, The Goddess Form, you will start seated, but may then want to lie down on the floor or even move around from a standing position.

John then moves into a practice of "God or Goddess" form, inviting you to work with whatever term or deity feels best for you. There is no right or wrong way to be in this particular practice and we support your own spiritual beliefs.

This practice was recorded during a live program with women facing each other toward the end of the practice. If you are practicing solo, imagine an ancient timeless form of Her in front of you and allow yourself to move, exclaim, and open as much as possible.
