When you start working with conscious diaphragm breathing and relaxation, you start to break through that granite inflexibility in your guts. Do you ever feel the clench in your stomach, or butterflies, as some people call it. This is due to too much tension in the diaphragm, which stops you from drawing a full deep breath.
Healthy Breathing
It becomes simple and easy to use the diaphragm properly as you work with meditation and relaxation, deepening and strengthening healthy breathing. Most respiratory diseases are linked to incorrect breathing.
Asthma is a prime example of this. Although there are physical symptoms, asthma is a direct result of emotional causes like fear of life and anxiety. I know because within a few months of using proper breathing techniques I was able to stop using my asthma pump. After a year or so I was able to throw my pump away forever.
This was a direct result of working with guided meditation techniques.
However, I was practicing meditation regularly and with the specific intent of breaking the hold asthma had on me.
Diaphragm Breathing
As you tap into deeper and deeper states of relaxation through meditation, you are able to activate a calm state of being. Even in high stress situations. The benefit of conscious diaphragm breathing is that it means the body is getting a full breath of air, not a half or quarter breath.
It is a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. If you are tense you breathe shallow breaths. This makes you feel even more tense, and fatigued, because your body isn’t getting enough air.
Imagine if you were able to find a balanced centre. A space where your emotions and mind are as still as a lake on a day without a breath of wind. This when your breathing apparatus is functioning at optimum. It is when your mind is calm that your breathing is deep and energised. And it also works on a sort of positive feed back system. If your breath is deep and focused, so your mind and emotions become still. Still your mind and your breath becomes deep, slow and relaxed. Focus on your breathing being deep, slow and relaxed and you still your mind and emotions.
Conscious Deep Breathing
Tapping into the Direct Energy of the Universe
It is a generally accepted truth that without breath you can’t live much longer than 5 minutes or so. You can go for days without food, a few days without water. But no air, well as the movies say, “Then you buy the farm,” or to put it bluntly: you die within minutes.
So if you are currently only breathing on autopilot, let us say you are only getting a fifth of the potential energy that you could be getting. Imagine 5 times the amount of energy you currently have by conscious deep breathing and intent.
Personally I didn’t really believe it when I first heard that. However I took a chance and practiced meditation and proper breathing. The benefits and positive changes in my direct energy levels and internal state were undeniable. So how do you fully activate conscious diaphragm breathing…?
