Feeling anxious or nervous and can't shake the feeling? Have extra energy and don't know where to put it? Feeling overwhelmed/stressed and just need a second to recenter yourself? Or, do you just want to get your breathing back on track? Here let me help you...
On 3 we inhale ....1..2..3.. Breathe. Now we hold it our breath for at least 4 seconds 1...2....3...4... now exhale on 3 ...1...2...3... release. How did that feel?
Breathing is obviously essential in our everyday life, but when we're caught up in the moment doing everything else in the world we can forget just to take a second and breathe. Breathwork influences our mental, emotional, and physical body more than what we realize. This practice has been around for hundreds and thousands of years, in fact its a form of ancient medicine in China! Back then, people used breathing as a way to undergo a spiritual awakening, healing self, and the importance of meditation. Meditation and breath work go hand and hand with each other. Breathwork has the ability of lowering your heart rate and raise your higher conscious. This practice allows for us to silence the chaos around us and bring it back to self. It welcomes us to keep our mind and body at one, at peace. Something neat about breath work as well is while you're doing the practice any knot, cramp, or tension in your body is being released from you causing your body to feel less tight. This practice allows for your oxygen to flow at a more free pace. Connection to self is important sometimes because its so easy to fall off so just take a second and breathe. Think of it as a way to reprogram your mind. Lastly, don't forget to breathe.
