Are you conscious of your breathing as you read this page?
The oxygen in the air we breathe is vital, bringing energy to every cell of our bodies. We breathe automatically— but the quality of our automatic breath is often not ideal for us. Are you breathing shallowly, or does your breath entirely fill your lungs? You may be barely breathing at all, only experiencing a portion of your breath's potential. There may even be times that you completely stop breathing, restricting the natural flow of energy in your body.
Opening the breath creates expansion, not only in our breathing patterns, but also in our experience of life. Learning to breathe consciously makes it possible to access and release suppressed emotions, subconsciously stored memories and other traumas held in the body/mind. Learning to breathe in a natural and relaxed way paves the road to deep relaxation, emotional mastery and spiritual awareness.
Our breath leads the way for us to open our bodies, our minds and our hearts, to be our authentic selves, love ourselves and extend that love to others. I invite you to explore my website, and to discover the benefits— physical, mental, emotional, and spirtitual -- of opening and expanding your breath.
"The habit of holding my breath was a fact in me that I recognized as a tie to anxiety.
Try as I did, overcoming this habit was seemingly impossible on my own.
Conscious breathing has opened the doors and given me the tools
to let go and breathe." — J.S.
