Breathe …it opens our bodies up to release!!!

I believe we all must learn to breathe properly to open our minds/brains up to new possibilities.

This is especially important these days when we are witnessing rapid change, some we like, some we don’t like.  Either way, notice if you have a tendency to hold your breath.  I have noticed this in myself often.

When trauma, or just high activation in our nervous system happens we tend to hold our breath.  We use only the top half of our lungs, our bodies stay in survival mode.

Not breathing deeply can cause anxiety, depression and illness.

Below is a video to watch so you can get the “how to” do the deep breathing that allows our bodies to stay open to what is happening in the moment.  This way experiences can flow through us, rather than stick in us.

I suggest you actually do this several times to imprint it into your own body.

This kind of breathing along with focus on the heart and positive feelings creates coherence in your body/mind/emotions.

Then try to use it when you notice yourself being triggered!  Don’t know about you, for me, what is happening in our world can truly make me hold my breath.

I have studied with Deanna and use this tool often for sure.
