The secret to a calmer mind is right under your NOSE.. Your Breath!

The first act of life – breathing. The last act of life – breathing.

Everything else that is somewhere in the middle seems to assume utmost importance in our life. And this key element called breath, driving our life, how often do we take a pause to observe the process of breathing in and out during the day? We don’t feel the need to because it is so natural. But do you know a little attention on the way we breathe can open up ways to good health? Increased immunity, a calm and relaxed mind, increased focus, productivity and a happy state of being for starters. All this by learning to breathe right. But, who needs to learn how to breathe? Doesn’t it keep happening on it’s own? Yes, but breathing techniques such as pranayama (sanskrit word meaning extension of prana or breath or extension of the life force) regulate the flow of breath, removing any blocks in energy channels so that both our body and mind stay healthy. Think about it – isn’t your breath really fast when you are angry and smooth and mellow when you are calm? This indicates that breath is not only linked to the body but also to the mind. And we all want a happy state of mind, right? So, by breaking the normal breathing pattern, which happens while practicing breathing techniques, such as pranayama we attend to the breath, and in turn to the health of our body and mind. Pranayamas fill the body with plenty of prana (life force) which makes you feel energetic and positive. On the other hand, a low level of prana in the body can be a reason for increased feelings of anxiety or stress.
