BREATHWORK – THE ART OF BREATHING

-


People now a days are not breathing, their body is breathing not the soul but once you are aware of each breathe then we could say you are breathing. By reminding yourself every now and then of conscious breathing, later it will be a way of living. Breathwork is all about how connected are you with your breathing, how aware are you of your breath, how connected you feel with your body. The main goal is to connect your body mind and soul through conscious breathing.

Breathwork is an easier gateway into mindfulness and meditation and you can achieve any state by modulating and controlling it or just letting it guide you. The best way to experience it is by starting your own practice. It can take from a few seconds to several hours and the best part? You have the equipment right in front of your nose.

The ultimate goal of breathwork is to increase your awareness . It also helps you calm you down, calm the nerves system, calm the heart rate, slows down.

There are different kinds of breathing technique, but I also practice pranayam. Prana means life force energy and yam means to gain control. It’s an ancient practice to focus on breathing. Different types are:-

  • PRANAYAM:- . There are eight types of pranayama with dozens of individual methods described in the Vedas (or ancient Indian religious texts). Some of the more common ones are Skull Shining Breath (Kapalabhati.), Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhan), and Conqueror Breath (Ujjayi).
  • BOX BREATHING:- Just take normal deep breath with a rhythm suitable for you, it should be slow.
  • 4-7-8 TECHNIQUE:- In this technique you inhale for 4 seconds hold for 7 seconds and exhale for 8 seconds.

Here are some of the physical health benefits of breathwork:-

  • Balanced blood pressure
  • More time in deep sleep
  • Reduction of PTSD and feelings of trauma
  • Stronger respiratory function
  • Better immune system
  • Release of stress hormones from your body and many more.

So here’s your reminder to start your journey right away with inculcating new habit such as deep breathing or meditation which could give enormous results overtime. All you have to do is set a specific time for your practice and be consistent. ( Make small goals of practicing for a week and then gradually increase the days.)
