Deep breathing is a powerful way to decrease stress and
increase calm energy. Low body oxygen can cause anxiety, depression, tight
muscles, aches and pains, and exacerbate chronic illness. Diaphragmatic
breathing is the deepest kind of breathing. Deep diaphragm breathing lowers
anxiety levels, relaxes and loosens muscles, and generates an inner feeling of
peace and calm. Diaphragm breathing also strengthens heart and lungs,
encourages more restful sleep and slows the aging process.
Some basic diaphragm breathing steps:
1) Inhale deeply through your nose. Try to fill your lungs.
2) Exhale slowly through your mouth.
3) Breathe deeply for 30 seconds. It takes less than a minute
to calm and center yourself during anxious moments. Breathing deeply for just
one minute prevents short breaths that negatively affect the oxygen-carbon
dioxide content of your blood.
4) Now breathe deeply to fill the lower part of your lungs.
Notice the pop-pop feeling in your chest as unused lung pockets open up. Your
abdomen extends slightly as you fill it with air. Slowly exhale — your abdomen
moves inward.
5) As you breathe in deeply, think of oxygen reaching and
recharging all the cells of your body. As you exhale, imagine all the stress
and tension leaving your body.
To your best health,
Linda
