🌬️Air is food for your body
Hello Reader,
I hope you are doing well, that you spend some good time with your friends and family over the weekend.
"🌬️Air is food for your body", intriguing title isn't it?
Breathing is something that can be done consciously or unconsciously.
When we pay attention to our breath we become more present, more aware.
The breath is the bridge between your mind and your body.
Your body could be physically here but your mind can be distracted somewhere in the past or the future. They are not connected.
When we breathe consciously, we can feel the movement of the breath.
We can feel the air entering through our nostrils feeling the lungs, the diaphragm, the belly and then coming out of the body through the nostrils.
Instead of doing shallow breathing, we learn to use our whole breathing capacity.
“This awareness of the breath brings us back to the present moment, to here and now”
This is what we practice in the practice of yoga, we practice Pranayama.
Pranayama in Sanskrit means control of the energy(prana) through the control of the breath.
Reader if you want to:
- Reduce your daily stress
- Calm down your mind
- Release tensions and struggles
- Be more focused in your life
I highly encourage you to start practising pranayama/ breathwork on daily basis.
