Breathing Meditations
According to Science Daily, meditation and breathing exercises can make the mind sharper. New research reveals that there is a link between breath-focused meditation and attention and brain health (Trinity College Dublin, 2018).
A simple breath-focused meditation has several cognitive benefits from an increased ability to focus, less of a wandering mind, improved arousal levels, more positive emotions, less emotional reactivity, and many other benefits.
The mindfulness of breathing practice involves using the breath as an object of focus. It’s a great technique that anyone can do.
Breathing practices allow you to focus on the moment and focus on the breath because each moment you spend focusing on something positive is one less moment you spend focusing on something negative.
Many people breath shallower during times of stress, so learning how to breathe deeply can help you feel more peaceful and calm throughout the day.
Breathing deeply is also a great way to shift your focus when you are feeling anxious. The 4-4-4-4 breathing technique also known as Box Breathing is a great technique to learn because it acts like your body’s natural tranquilizer.
Begin by emptying your lungs. Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds. Hold your breath for 4 seconds. Exhale firmly through your mouth, pursing the lips, for 4 seconds You may repeat this breathing cycle up to 4 times.
As you get more practiced, add seconds to each step, i.e. Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds Hold for 7 seconds Exhale firmly through your mouth, pursing your lips, for 8 seconds.
This type of simple technique is rejuvenating for the nervous system. If it makes you feel a little dizzy, don’t do any more than 3-4 breaths at first. This kind of breathing acts as a natural tranquilizer.
Practicing this kind of simple breathing practice can completely shift your focus and your state of mind.
Meditation is easier after doing these techniques and along with breathing it helps to clear the blockages to health, wealth and success.
