Breath Work and The Mind
Breathe deeper than you ever have! When you challenge yourself to breathe deeply everything moves within your body. The movement of your ribs massages your spine. Your brain and your spine never stop sending signals to the body. Breathing deeply will wake up your mind in a good way, like a clean caffeine buzz without the jitters. Inhaling and exhaling deeply will increase your metabolism, removes excess carbon dioxide, and wakes up your mind. As your mind settles down into a more productive way your body responds. Your brain is a muscle, learning how to control your breath you will inadvertently control your mind, but you must learn how to focus on the breath. During your breath work add a one- word mantra, like joy or compassion.
Try exhaling out of your mouth all the air you can, then inhale in through your nose as much as you can. Repeat this on a 6 count. Find a rhythm. Continue for as long as you can. Now exhale out your mouth, inhale through your nose expand your belly and chest. Exhale out your mouth while drawing in the belly up and towards your back.
Yoga breath work is a power move for your self-care toolbox. Learning how to breathe properly seems silly. A nine-year-old boy said to me, "If I was not breathing, I would be dead. Duh." He was not lying. Most people are not breathing at their fullest potential or thinking or sleeping or recovering. Breath work can teach your brain to kick in during a stressful situation or possibly when your focus is off.
