Breathe Deeply

If we stop breathing, we cease to exist. On average we take in about 25,000 breaths every day. If we do anything really physical, such as exercising, we take in many more.

Breathing comes naturally so very few of us give it a second thought. Even though it’s natural to just breathe, it’s also important to acknowledge the benefits to our health by doing so consciously.

By consciously controlling how we breathe, for even as little as 15 minutes per day, we can tremendously improve how we feel both inside and out.

By controlling each inhale and exhale, you will increase the amount of oxygen your system has to work with. The more oxygen the better! You will also decrease the waste in your blood through proper breathing.

It’s not hard to do. Just sit up straight (like your mother probably told you), which gives your lungs the opportunity to fully expand with each inhale. Then relax as much as you can and breathe in slowly and deeply to the count of four.

Breathe in from more than just your nose. Allow your chest to rise and expand as your lungs fill with air, hold to the count of two.

Now slowly exhale to the count of four as you release all the toxins in your system. Try to reach a goal of 6 breaths per minute.

If you want to achieve superior results and increse the levels in your blood oxygen then try to breath this way for an hour a day. By increasing your blood oxygen levels you’ll be increasing the health of your heart as well as your overall well-being.

Proper breathing not only allows you to experience amazing physical benefits but it can also powerfully effect your spiritual, emotional and mental health as well.

More often than not we unconsciously breathe in a very shallow and rapid way when we are stressed or anxious.

When we breathe like this our creativity, clarity of thought and divine inspiration are dampened down. If we stay in this state for very long it can become habitual. You know, that vicious circle of feeling confused and spaced out, which makes us experience more stress and anxiety and it keeps going from there.

By employing proper breathing techniques we can refresh and reenergize our mind, body and spirit.

By breathing properly, you’ll clear up mental confusion, heighten your intuition, and just generally feel a sense of wellness.

So why not give it a try today! Breathe in deeply and you’ll soon be loving more deeply and living more deeply!
