Thank you Doc Dave for reminding me of the lessons learned from the snoring meditation. I got in touch with the energy of the city of La Paz during that meditation. I moved energetically through the streets and touched the souls of the people.

La Paz New Years Eve Doc Dave and Manin. Behind us is the sacred and majestic snow-covered mountain named Illimani.
Overlooking La Paz from the Altiplano streets of La Paz

Located high in the Andes Mountains, La Paz sits in a basin surrounded by the altiplano (high plains) and the elevations vary from 3000 to 4100 meters. Because of the altitude the air is thin. I focused on some of the different types of breathing patterns to find what gave my body more air. Breathing from the belly, allows the energy to move in a half crescent from the belly button to the back of the neck. Breathing from the lungs and upper body, allows the energy to move side to side.

Feel the difference? Which is more comfortable for you?

I also came up with the following meditation, which I hope you enjoy, loudly.


SNORING MEDITATION

Breathe deeply.
Focus on your feet.
Wiggle your toes.

Inhale to the count of (4).
Bring that energy up your legs, thru your torso and out the top of your head.
Exhale (4) and bring it back down.
Check out your body as you go.

Inhale (4) Go up.
Out to the etheric, emotional, mental planes.
Hold (2)
Exhale (4) Bring it back down.
Hold (2)

Breathe it up from the ground (4)
Out the top. Hold (2)
Back down to the feet (4)
Below feet. Hold (2)

Relax completely.
Continue breathing in this pattern.

Meditate for 10 minutes.
Then bring your focus back to your feet.
Becomes aware of your surroundings.
Exhale quickly.

Thank your guides.
Thank the Universe.

Ground yourself.

When you are ready, dis-engage.
