Breathing Exercise and Stress

"These are great breathing techniques for stress reduction!"

Breathing in energy and breathing out stress. Any breathing exercise or breathing technique is essential today. After all �if you don�t breathe� you don�t survive.

Breathing is an ideal way to improve your health, reduce your stress and increase your energy levels. The problem is most of you breathe poorly.

You are taught to shallow breathe through the accumulation of stresses in your life, being told to stop crying as a child, or "suck it up" on the sporting field.

Remember being told ... "take a deep breath"

Wondered why you should, how does this help you when you are stressed?

Well, sayings have been distorted over the years. As have their meanings and directions�

Most of you hear this and immediately think of breathing in deeply, then holding your breath. It actually means to breathe in deeply and breathe out deeply. Then it will help to remove stress or increase energy.

So�

Breathing is essential to stress relief and increasing energy.

Most adults shallow breathe. We pant like a dog, rather than breathe deeply and relaxed. How has this occurred, you may be wondering? How should we breathe?

What Types of Breathing are There?

There is � Good breathing � or Bad breathing�

Easy isn�t it. But what is good breathing?

Good breathing is a process of having a deep, relaxed and calm cycle of breath. There should be no pause in the cycle and the cycle should be even � breathing in and out being the same length.

Good breathing needs to be relaxed, it should be relaxed and calm at a resting level. It is impossible to walk around having large deep breaths. You will hyperventilate and fall over. A good resting breathing rate is � relaxed, calm and deep.

Breathing deeply is better for you overall. It creates relaxation, increases energy and promotes health. From an Eastern view-point, energy moves through the body in channels. Breathing deeply (relaxed, calm and at rest) moves energy through the channels, preventing and removing blockages causing ill health and disease.

Most of you have a poor or shallow breathing cycle. Where we breathe in less energy and release less stress than we should. Poor or bad breathing will be shallow, interrupted in the cycle, with pauses at the end of the breath. When you pause in your breathing cycle you are preventing energy coming in, or stress leaving the body.

Taken to extremes, poor breathing can lead to sleep apnea where you actually stop breathing when you are asleep � sometimes for a minute or more. Poor breathing can lead to respiratory problems, fatigue and many stress related illnesses.

How do we Learn to Breathe Poorly?

As we change from a child to an adult, life changes, as does information�

a child laughs out loud and cries to let go stress � immediately.
an adult laughs politely and holds onto stress � after all, we shouldn�t display our emotions � especially in public.

Children are told to �stop crying � it�s not that bad� .. �don�t laugh too loud .. you�ll annoy someone� � �suck it up � show no fear�.

We got it from home, school and the sporting field. We learnt to control our breathing� shorten it, make it tense and also shallow.

We have learnt therefore to have less energy and more stress - through having a poor breathing cycle.

Can you un-learn to Breathe?

Bad grammar aside, any breathing technique can be broken. What you learn can always be changed.

You have learnt to breathe � shallow, short and tense � you can unlearn to breathe � deep, relaxed and calm.

Breathing is a learned response. Changing your breathing is just the same. You just need to learn to breathe better, through breathing exercise. Just like a fitness program� just easier.

To change your breathing, you need to change your resting breathing rate. Many breathing exercises work while you are performing them. They cease to help once you stop. Over a long period of time they can help you breathe a little better.

The best way to change your breath is to change your resting breathing rate. Why?

If you change your breath at rest, every time you breathe in and out � you are reinforcing the habit to breathe better. The habit becomes stronger and then becomes permanent.

To make a significant difference to your breathing, you need to change your resting breathing rate. You need to remove and prevent stress. Again, why?

Stress is the main cause of altering your breathing rate. Removing and preventing stress will therefore aid you to breathe better. Also as the saying goes �

�Stress is the #1 Killer Today�

Stress and how you cope with it needs to be corrected. Breathing deeper more relaxed and calmly helps to ease and prevent stress. There are many simple to use, quick in acting stress relief techniques you can use at home.
