Just Breathe

I encourage you dear reader to take a moment to breathe. The breath of life is so essential to our very existence, yet we take it for granted. In many religious texts and philosophies, the breath is paramount. So how did we, the ever evolved, super intelligent, techno savvy Beings flat out ignore such an intricate aspect of life? Yes my friend it is that simple, Just Breathe. If we practice (two or three times a day) the fine art of relaxation breathing, then we would be more coherent, have the ability to deflect stress, and generally be more calm throughout our daily lives. I dare you to try it, practice relaxation breathing and tell me you don't feel better or see improvement almost instantly, cause ya know what??? You'll get addicted, wonder why you never lived this way before and you, my dear reader will be a believer that just breathing can make a difference.

Relaxation Breathing 101 - It's all in the technique

1.  Breathe in the nose (for 3, 5 or 6 seconds)
2.  Hold for the same amount of seconds you breathed in (3, 5, 6)
3.  Breathe out of the mouth (double the seconds, to get all the stale air out of the lungs), placing tongue to roof of mouth while pushing the air out.
4. Repeat for 5 minutes (when comfortable move up to 10, 15, & 20 minutes)

*when first doing this technique, you may feel light headed or your pulse may change. Just take a normal breath or two, then continue with the relaxation breathing. REMEMBER I am not a doctor and this is NOT medical advice.

Just enjoy, Just relax, Just breathe
