In the Yoga world, the practice of Pranayama, we become deeply familiar with the breath. We do this unconsciously for a large proportion of the time much like the blood flowing around our body, but at any given moment we can choose to change its rhythm. When breathing, we also allow our bodies to get rid of the waste products and toxins it creates, which can easily stagnate in our bodies and damage vital functions if not expelled.īreathing is a curious process, unlike any other in the human body. We need to breathe to send oxygen into the cells in our body, which constantly need a new supply so they can produce energy. Most of the time, we don’t even notice we’re breathing shallowly.īreathing brings us energy. Having an unconscious lifestyle – all of that results in us not using our lungs to their full potential. Plenty of common habits lead to shallow breathing, which can lead to feelings of stress and anxiety. Not just the type of breathing that we do automatically (and keeps us alive), but the deep, belly breaths that fill our lungs completely. It might sound funny, but in world today, we often forget to breathe.
