Do you ever stop throughout your day and contemplate your breathe?
Are you aware of how you are breathing and how it effects you emotionally and mentally?
Your breathe is the key to your mind. As you learn to control your breathe you will find you will have control of your mind.
Where do I begin?
Find a comfortable position to lie or sit in to help you relax, a position where you can remain physically still for a short period of time.
Take a few moments to allow your physical body to settle into this relaxed position, adjust as you need to to get as relaxed as you can in this present moment.
Your eyes need to be closed to help your mind settle and quieten.
Then turn your attention to your breath.
Close the mouth and breathe through the nose.
Begin to follow your breath. One way to do this is to take your attention to the nasal passages and begin to follow the breath as it enters and exits the body.
Observe/watch the flow of the breath, observing the ease or the effort it takes to simply observe the breath.
Ask the questions, how is the breath flowing? Is it easy to breathe or is the breath restricted? What is the quality, characteristics or nature of the breathe?
Follow the breathe as long as you can, if at any time you feel strain around the heart or lungs stop immediately and rest.
When you begin, begin with a few minutes, as you begin to master the technique then lengthen your timings.
The more you practice you will begin to notice the changes in the breath, each sitting or lieing practice focussing on the breathe will be different.
Practice, Practice, Practice.
Remember that REPETITION is the Mother of all Skills.
Remember to Keep It Simple Sweetheart
Good luck with your practice!
