Book Cover & Preview Text
We all breathe without thinking about breathing. We just breathe automatically and that is how it should be. By focusing on breathing, you can shift your attention and have an opportunity to free yourself from part of your stress. When you are ill, in pain, or under stress, you need more oxygen, which in turn provides your body with more energy. You can supply your body with extra energy by breathing deeper and slower. Assume a position that you find comfortable. You can lie down, sit, or stand up, as long as your spine is as straight as possible. Once in your spot, focus your attention on breathing. Inhale and exhale through your nose. Inhale slowly, and gradually fill your abdomen, stomach, and chest with air, until you feel a slightly raised pressure in your arms and head. And now, exhale slowly, releasing the air from chest, stomach, and abdomen. Exhale at the same speed at which you inhaled. If you counted to six while breathing in, also count to six while breathing out. In time you will be breathing deeper and slower. Do not rush it. Start slowly, at your own pace. There is usually a short break between each inhale and exhale. It is very personal. It can take 1-4 seconds. Don’t force yourself to breathe deeper or slower than you can. Just find your own pace. Ten deep breaths are usually enough to oxygenate the body well, and exchange all the air in your lungs. Dizziness may indicate an excess of oxygen. If you start feeling light headed, return to regular breathing. If you find this kind of breathing difficult, there is a way to make it more manageable. Put your hand on your belly. Breathe in and direct all air down to your belly. While your belly fills with air, your hand will be lifted. Then fill up your chest, hold it for a few seconds, feel it, then exhale, starting from the top of your chest down to your belly. Your hand will now be much closer to your back. This collapsing of the belly will force out the air from the lower part of the lungs, enabling a total exchange of the air in your lungs.
