The three golden rules of breathing (DW#676)
Over the weekend did you complete the ‘noticing your breath’ assignment? Have you been noticing your breath? What have you noticed?
Do you breathe through your mouth or your nose? (Many people breath thru their mouth. Look around and/or in the mirror. Notice yourself and others. How many mouths do you see open?)
Do you breathe deeply (and calmly) into your belly? (For many of us the breath stops at the chest, especially if we breathe through our mouths.)
How long is your exhale compared to your inhale? (If we are stressed, we gasp for air without emptying out our lungs fully)
Here are the three basic rules for breathing:
1. Breathe through your nose. All the time, even when exercising.
2. Breathe deep into your belly
3. And exhale slightly longer than you inhaled
Let us explore each of these a little more over the next few days.
