BREATHE E-BOOK
​
"When the breath wanders, the mind is unsteady, but when the breath is calmed, the mind will be still." -Hatha Yoga Pradipika
​
The pattern of the breath reflects your emotional, mental and physical state. When you feel anxious the breath is short and shallow, when you feel at ease it is slow and deep. When you exhale through the mouth, as a sigh, you release tension from your body and mind.
This is done involuntarily. Yet, did you know that you can alter your breath pattern to create a
desired state? If you're feeling anxious you can breathe a specific breath pattern to activate your 'rest & digest' state, and feel calm. Or, generate internal heat in your body when you are cold. Or, cool your body down when you are feeling overheated, either from negative emotion or physical heat.
By learning specific breath practices, you can create your desired state. The Navy Seals practice box breathing to remain calm in high-stress situations. The 4-2-6 breath pattern calms your nervous system, and humming as done in bumble-bee breathing activates the vagus nerve, activating your parasympathetic nervous system.
You can learn these breath practices for emotional regulation, and physical and mental well-being. You can free yourself from the grip of anxiety, improve your cognitive function by managing stress through the breath, experience better digestion, increase your energy and vitality and release tension from your body and mind.
The BREATHE e-book will guide you through these breath practices to renew your body and mind.

"Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body with your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again."-Thich Nhat Hanh
