Transformational Breathing Techniques Pranayama Breath Work

So often we take big deep breaths and only utilise the upper 30% of the lungs.  By learning how to breathe consciously we can utilise the entire volume of the lungs.  This simple exercise calms the entire physiology and reduces emotions associated with anxiety and stress.

How often do you take time out to be still, silent, no phone, no music, no distractions, just you; to move within and connect with your inner teacher? The wisdom you seek is never outside of you. Its residing inside of you waiting for you to stop and become silent.

You really can take control over your emotions by using the power of the breath......and its super simple! The trick is to be aware of an unproductive change in your emotions and immediately start the breathing practice.  Lecture 6 goes into the theory and practice a little deeper.

Breathe in the qualities you want to have in your life, the experiences you want to have and then breathe those intentions out into the field of energy that surrounds you. As you exhale on your intentions, you surrender them to divine intelligence and have a little faith that your intentions will manifest. And as you do this, the energy of your entire being, begins to shift. 'Sometimes the most simple things are the most powerful.'

Moving the body with the rhythm of the breath is a sure way to move into 'mind body coherence.' This quietens the stress response and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system 'the rest and digest system.'

An Incredibly Powerful Breathing Technique that does require you to work for it! This is a mindful practice which really does shift blocked emotions from the lower energy centres of the body. This breathing work requires your commitment and discipline and with it comes amazing results.

The answers to your problems aren't out there, they're inside of you! But how do you get in touch with your inner wisdom when the monkey mind is going crazy?
