most of us do it unconsciously and although that works well enough,
there is so much more to breathing!
With your breath you can create heat,
increase your energy and as a bonus
you burn calories as well!
You can use your breath to relax and calm your mind and body,
Try it right now.
Sit upright.
Place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly.
Now take a slow and steady deep breath in through your nose.
Notice your hands rising.
Can you make one hand rise and then the other?
Exhale through your nose and reverse the inhale pattern.
If you filled your belly before your chest then exhale from your chest first.
Practice slowing down the inhale and exhale then speeding it up.
What differences do you feel?
To relax exhale longer than you inhale.
Next try breathing through your belly only.
Use your abdominal muscles to push the breath out,
let the inhale come naturally.
Notice the increase in energy.
