Do you know the benefits of breathing correctly? Our breath constantly converts our life-sustaining energy, taking in oxygen, invigorating red blood cells and expelling carbon dioxide, which is a metabolic waste product.
By breathing deeply, you allow the diaphragm to drop downward, the rib cage to expand and create more space for the lungs to inflate. By mastering the art of deep breathing, increased oxygen floods into the body, eventually helping the heart pace to slow down to create feelings of calmness and relaxation.
Method: Inhale 5 seconds, hold as long as you can, Exhale for 8 seconds. Repeat.
“Breath is the bridge that connects like to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind goes scattered, use your breath as the mean to take hold of your mind again” Thich Nhat Hanh”
