Just Breathe
Do you carve out time each and everyday to just breathe?
By the time we are adults we are breathing in a way that actually constricts oxygen and limits how much is available for our cells to thrive. So it is no surprise that over time we face with so many health challenges..
Let’s take time to reverse the trend and move towards total health and wellness. Using these techniques throughout the day can eliminate stress, give you more energy, and inject an overall feeling of contentment. It all starts with the breath. I invite each of you to experience the benefits of mindful, intentional breath work starting today.
Experience it. Embrace it. Enjoy it.
Simple deep breathin
The most basic thing to remember is that your breath begins with a full exhalation.
Sit in a comfortable position with your hands on your knees. Relax. Inhale through your nose while you count to five. 1…2…3…4…5. Next exhale to a count of five. 1…2…3…4…5. At the bottom of your breath, pause for a count of 5 and then repeat 5 times. (as your progress, keep increasing your count up to 15)
Fire Breath
Many forms of yoga begin with breathing techniques, or pranayama.
Prana means ‘breath’ or ‘life force’ in Sanskrit. This breath is can be used when you need an infusion of energy.
Sit in a comfortable position. With your mouth closed, breath in and out through your nose as fast as possible. Try to breath in and out as equally as possible. Continue for 10–15 seconds, no more at first. As you become more accustomed to this technique you can increase the exercise to one full minute.
