an excerpt - Breathwork series + audio
Changing the way we breathe can have a major impact on how we feel emotionally. Our bodies and minds cope with enormous amounts of stress and pressure on a daily basis. Connecting with the healing, calming part of our bodies - the parasympathetic nervous system - can help increase the strength and resilience of our stress response system.
This series is going to introduce you to accessible ways to work with your breath to create a positive impact on your mental well being.
Today, part 1 focuses on mental stimulation, clarity and energy. There are many routes to focus and energy through breath. I've chosen the "Ha" breath as an easy 1 or 2 minute practice. Try this when feeling:
- sluggish, low in mood or energy
- finding difficulty with focus and concentration
- disconnected from your power
- questioning your strength
- discouraged or tired
