Take a deep breath
We take more than an incredible 20.000 breaths each day without thinking about it. But did you know that deep, controlled breathing is the secret for relieving stress, soothing anxiety and opening the door to healing meditation?
Slow, deep breathing has an amazing power to calm the body and induce a sense of inner piece. This centuries-old technique can do wonders for your mental, emotional and physical health.
As a powerful stress management tool, deep breathing helps control blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart attack. It’s also extremely helpful in making the kind of lifestyle changes necessary to maintain good health-losing weight and stopping smoking among them.
It’s easy to earn. First, get in a comfortable position either lying on your back with your knees bent or sitting upright with your back straight and relaxed.
Begin by focusing on how you breathe. Take slow, deep breaths through the nose. Your chest should inhale and contract completely as you exhale.
Try to visualize the breathing process to keep your mind clear distractions. Another way to do this is to repeat a mantra, a simple word or sound such as “ah” or “omm” each time you exhale.
Continue the process for at least 10 minutes and build up to 20 minutes per session, twice a day. You’ll be amazed at how much better you feel and how much better you are able to cope with stress.
