Breathing is a simple action that we perform automatically. The breath is always with us, from the moment of our birth and throughout our life. Inhaling and exhaling is apparently one of the simplest things in the world. Indeed, this act is not as obvious as it seems. Some physiological conditions and particular respiratory disorders (i.e. rhinitis, asthma, bronchitis, etc.<\/strong>) prevent us from doing it well, but it often happens that, in the daily routine, our way of breathing is much less free than we think. This happens because breathing is conditioned by our psychophysical state<\/strong> as well as by stress and by the environment in which we find ourselves. In Chinese and Eastern culture in general, the breath is identified with vital energy that is defined “vital breath” or Ki , which means “vital energy”. Fatigue or lack of vitality can be caused by an imbalance in the lung. A thousand years ago, the wise men of the past intuited the profound correlation between the breath and the health of the body and mind. Find a quiet spot and sit comfortably or lie down with your hands on your stomach. Do a few inhales and exhales until the breath is more fluid. Performing this exercise every day or when you feel particularly confused and tired will give you the opportunity to get out of “social” time and enter a deeper dimension where you can regenerate your body and conquer your inner awareness. In this edition, I want to give you a very simple but effective breathing exercise to calm the mind and regain your inner energy, which you can do wherever you want, sitting or lying comfortably, at any time of the day. It will help you understand how important the way we breathe is!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11518,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[126],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
\nThe breath, gently guided, is the tool that allows access to one’s inner world, favoring the release of blocked energies. Being aware of your breathing helps you develop a different way to cope with fear, discomfort, anxiety and stress.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”11503″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”blog”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Mindful breathing<\/strong> takes us to the natural process of dissolving blocks and tensions and it helps to release the healthiest and most creative part of each individual.
\nBy applying mindful breathing, you will achieve a deep relaxation and regain vital energy and well-being.
\nFor example, try to observe how young children breathe, so full of energy: they inhale by inflating the belly and then the chest, using the diaphragm, and keeping the muscles of the belly, chest and shoulders relaxed, exhaling deeply and freely.
\nIn adulthood, we tend to lose this ability and our breathing becomes disordered: breathing becomes shorter and more superficial, collecting less oxygen. But with a little technical exercise and commitment, we can correct our bad breathing habits.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”blog”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nIn Chinese and Eastern culture<\/h3>\n
\nKi keeps everything in communication, guarantees contact, connection, and the movement of precious liquids in the body. The organ that manages and distributes Ki in the body is the lung.
\nThe lung plays a fundamental role in the diffusion of the vital energy “Ki” through the breath.
\nBreathing is associated with emotions and can favor or limit them.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”blog”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Breathing, as we have said, is an involuntary and automatic act, but it is also an act that we can endow with awareness. Awareness gives the breath the ability to connect the body and mind.<\/p>\n
\nToday, scientific studies are supporting these wise insights, confirming that good deep breathing has a very positive effect on well-being and mitigates some of the health problems widespread in the modern world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”blog”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nEXERCISE FOR CONSCIOUS BREATHING<\/h2>\n
