Breathing happens automatically.
Thankfully!
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t any benefit to taking some time to be mindful of our breath and improving the quality of our breathing.
Breathing deeply and mindfully has a number of health benefits such as:
- Increased circulation.
- Reduced anxiety.
- Helps alleviate constipation.
- Increased flow of oxygen to heart, brain and other organs.
- Improved respiratory system function.
A basic breathing exercise to try:
1) Sit in a quiet spot with no distractions – no phone, no tv, no people.
2) Concentrate on drawing in slow deep breaths and releasing them slowly.
3) Try to lengthen your breaths a little bit more each time.
4) When ready for the next step, exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound.
5) Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four.
6) Hold your breath for a count of seven.
7) Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight.
8) Continue to breathe slowly and mindfully for 5 minutes. Set a timer beforehand.
