Breathing my best friend

Breathing is something so precious but yet we take it for granted. 

We awake each morning because we are breathing. Otherwise, we will not be here. However, because breathing is such a part of us that we do not nurture it. Unlike talent, branded things that we have , we keep them in good order, but breathing we assume that it will always be there. Perhaps we have no knowledge about the power of our breath. 

When I was going through puberty and my breasts were growing, I always find breathing difficult and I wondered why? The same thing happened to my daughter. That was the initial awareness of breathing for me. Any changes in our anatomy and physiology do affect our breathing.

As I grow! I became aware of my breathing. How when you are afraid anxious your breathing becomes shallow and how by keeping calm, my breathing becomes deeper and I become more calm. Yoga breathing of ' inhale deeply, excel slowly' has helped me tremendously in my life. It helped me to remain calm and have 2 beautiful birthing experience, while I hear other mother screaming away in the other delivery rooms.

I never realized there are so many types of breathing until I went for my yoga teaching course.

If you need to choose one breathing technique, it's KEPALA BHATI
It is not complicated to do and yet, when done even for a short time consistently, it’s benefits are undeniable.  If there was only one pranayama that you have to choose, Kapalbhati might well be the one to pick – it’s that good!
