Breathing
Conscious breathing, also known as mindful breathing or deep breathing, is a practice where you intentionally focus on your breath. This simple yet powerful technique has the ability to calm the mind and reduce stress.
To begin, be sure you will not get disturbed and your phone is on silent, Be in a comfortable position, whether sitting, lying down, or standing. Close your eyes gently when you start the breathing exercise.
When breathing in through your nose, invite renewed energy and clarity. On the out breath, breathe out through your mouth, and let go of anything that no longer sustains you.
Now, let’s begin:
- Close your eyes gently.
- Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of six, while you visualize/sense/think/feel (any way you can do it) new energy or light entering your body.
- Hold your breath for one count.
- Slowly exhale through your mouth for a count of six, releasing any stress and negativity.
- Repeat this cycle, focusing your attention solely on the sensation of your breath entering and leaving your body.
- After 10 cycles of breathing, open your eyes when you’re ready.
How do you feel? Repeat this practice into your daily routine to invite a sense of calmness and well-being in your life.
