Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I practice breathing fully and regain the power of the breath.

Breathing is the source of life, so to take charge of our life we must also take charge of our breath. Once we retrain ourselves as to how to breathe fully, we will be able to let it be natural. But for now, at least for me, I am learning to focus on my breathing and remember to take slow regular breaths. In... out. In... out.

I find that when I'm stressed, or focused on something, or sometime even just thinking hard about something, I tend to hold my breath, or breathe very shallowly. The body then doesn't get the oxygen it needs to function at its best. Even as I write this, I find that I tend to hold my breath as I concentrate on what I'm going to say.

Just as we exercise our body, we must exercise our breath and thus retrain ourselves to breathe fully throughout the day... whether we are relaxed or stressed. So whenever you are waiting -- on the phone, or in line, or for an appointment -- focus on your breathing... in, out, in out.. filling in the belly with the inbreath, and flattening it with the outbreath. As with anything, the more we practice, the more it will come naturally and we will have regained the power of the breath.

Today's Daily Inspiration is excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:
