Power of Breath Practice
Sit in a comfortable position. Spread your fingers wide and bring your wrists, thumbs and pinky fingers together to form a flower. Inhale through your nose as if smelling the flower and exhale by blowing the flower slowly. Complete this for a cycle of five minutes. Continue to focus on your breath and what you can observe through your senses. Notice if any judgements arise and if they do, just observe them and recommit to your breath.
Why do we do it?
We often undervalue the power of breath. Breathing mindfully gives us the ability to influence other aspects of our nervous system.
The way we breathe impacts:
Heart rate
Blood pressure
Stress response
Brain state
Mood
Immune system
Energy levels
Digestion
If nothing else, let that list of benefits motivate you to take time not only today, but each day to breathe mindfully. YOU deserve mindful moments.
