The heart and lungs are a ball and socket joint. The heart can rotate inside the lungs and the lungs can rotate around the heart.

Initiating movement from the lungs can increase range of motion in your shoulders and spine, which is different from initiating movement in your muscles.

Many of us are unknowingly compressing the back of our heart in our effort to open the front of it. This can put pressure on the pulmonary vessels.

Opening our awareness to our breathing in the cells and alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs engenders a quiet, meditative state of being.

The lungs, cardiovascular system, and brain are three integrating centers of transformation.
