- Your breath is the primary fuel delivery system to every cell of your body.
- Deep breathing tones and massages every organ and muscle.
- Deep breathing stimulates your immune system and is necessary to expel toxins.
- Breathing assists in the stimulation of the biochemicals that enhance your mood and brain function, including your ability to learn, focus, and remember.
This circular-breathing pattern opens up the flow of your energy and super-oxygenates your body. Here is how you can harness the power of your breath for your well being:
- As you inhale, let your lower belly expand.
- Continue to inhale. Your abdomen will lift, and finally your chest.
- When you can not take in more air, move smoothly from inhaling to exhaling, without pausing.
- Allow your exhalation to occur on its own: a simple letting go. Don’t push your breath out or hold it back. As you exhale your chest will collapse first followed by the abdomen.
- Without pausing, begin to inhale again.
Ancient Japanese teachings asserted that learning to breathe consciously in this deep fully connected manner was essential to achieving enlightenment.
Morning, Noon, or Night. Begin your breathing practice with 100 breaths a day!
