Respiring deep is an easy yet very effective exercise. It is easy to learn and perform, needs zero gear, and promotes both physical and psychological well being. The way in which we breathe can change the way we feel. It helps release our stress, alters our mood, and gets our body to function smoother. The majority of the time, we accidentally breath shallowly. We do more of it when we are stressed and anxious. Shallow breaths don't permit sufficient oxygen to reach our organs, putting more force on them and stressing out the body even more. Deep breathing technique can beat this vicious circle.
What To Do First
To start with, sit up straight. Make sure that you aren't slouching or bending as it compresses the organs within your body, especially your diaphragm and interferes with the exercise. Close your eyes and try maintaining a calm mood. Forget all your routines worries and stresses. Try to focus on your breathing process. You should be able to feel the air entering and leaving your body. Gradually try and breathe through your nostrils and breathe in as deep as possible. You should be able to feel your abdomen rise and fall as the air goes in and out of your body. In case, it is your chest you are feeling going up and down, you should know that you are breathing shallow. The breathed air is returning from your chest without entering your stomach. Try and breathe through your nose Into the abdomen. Hold the air inside you for a second or two. Exhale slowly thru your mouth, focussing on the feel of slow, deep breaths.
Why It Works on the Body
To grasp how breathing has effects on our health, let us take a fast look at the ins and outs of respiring. Our diaphragm pumps air to our belly, ribcage, and back. It expands our chest cavity such that the air pressure within the body is smaller than outside. As a result, the air from outside rushes into the lungs. This pushes the blood from our heart to various organs and tissues and helps promote blood circulation.
Correct breathing is also needed to maintain an optimum balance of oxygen and carbon-dioxide in our body. We need oxygen to keep our organs function actively, while we need carbon dioxide to calm us down. Carbon dioxide works like a natural tranquilizer. Shallow, frequent breaths use too much carbon dioxide from our body making us feel slow and tired. Slow and deep breaths ensure we maintain the proper balance of oxygen and CO2 in our body.
Deep respiring is a free stress control technique which can be performed anytime and anywhere. And it is highly easy : Breathe in and breathe out, and that is it. Do set apart few minutes a day to treat your body to a plush oxygen supply and the resulting relaxation. . - 31856
