Is Your Breathing Correct?

The way we breathe has a profound effect on our wellbeing. Our breath affects the body, mind and emotions.  Due to everyday pressures of life and increasing stress and tension, we abandon our childhood efficient breathing methods, and develop new faulty breathing habits.
 
When the body is stressed, breathing becomes shallow and irregular. According to the author, in general, our breathing is shallow. Shallow breathing deprives the body of oxygen and the life force, Prana. It allows us to only fill the upper (high chest) part of our lungs with oxygen, which in the long run results in health problems.
 
As the bloodstream is not completely cleansed and oxygenated, the metabolic processes are affected, therefore we so often suffer from headaches, lack of energy, fatigue, anxiety, nervous tension and depression. The correct diaphragmatic and abdominal breathing should replace the shallow breathing habits.
 
When we breathe deeply, into the lower parts of the lungs, our respiratory, circulatory, digestive and nervous systems work better.  The supply of oxygen to the lungs and consequently to the blood is improved. The heartbeat rate slows. High blood pressure drops, digestion improves. Our minds become clearer, nerves calmer. Our concentration improves. Stress, anger and tension disappear. Correct breathing balances the positive and the negative forces and soothes the nerves, body and mind.
