Dear John , Have you ever noticed yourself taking a sharp intake of breath when you’re surprised? Or letting out a big sigh of relief at the end of the day?
Whether we're aware of it or not we've all experienced how our breath is connected to emotions. Daily stressors, tensions and physical habits can create physical and energetic obstacles in our bodies. We can develop unconscious breathing patterns where our breath becomes gradually more shallow or stilted and we restrict the flow of breath and prana (life energy) in the body. Our regular breathing pattern starts to mimic how we are when we’re stressed or frightened. |
