✨ This simple breathing exercise could add years to your life ✨
When was the last time you truly relaxed — no noise, no distractions, just you and your breath? Your breathing affects every cell in your body. Shallow breathing can create tension, tight muscles, and even impact your posture and spine. But the good news? You can retrain your breath in just 10 minutes a day.
🫁 Try this:
1. Find a relaxing place, a place in the house or outside that is sacred and peaceful to you, lie down and get comfortable, allow your body to relax.
2. First I would like you just notice how you are breathing, is it short and sharp? Is the breath in longer than the breath out? Is your chest expanding or your belly rising?
3. Now I want you to count your breath. As you get use to this you won’t have to count. With your hand on your stomach take a long inhalation. You should feel your stomach expand, if it didn’t then you are breathing into your chest instead of expanding your diaphragm and allowing the air to enter. Keep trying until you can breath into your belly.
4. Now get the flow of breath moving properly. Breath in, stomach out and breath out, stomach in. Once the rhythm has been established then with a slow count to six, breathe in, and likewise with a slow count out breathe out to six. You may find that one is more difficult than the other but eventually as you keep practising both will become easy.
5. Do this every day for 10 minutes. As you breathe out, picture in your minds eye releasing the past emotions and past limiting beliefs about yourself. As you breathe in, breathe in the love and happiness that you now feel about yourself.
As you exhale, imagine releasing tension and old emotions. As you inhale, breathe in calm, energy, and positivity.
Consistent breathwork can help:
✔ Relax your body
✔ Release tension
✔ Boost energy
✔ Improve oxygen flow
✔ Calm your mind
Your breath is your life force — don’t cheat it. 💫
