Breathing Practice
Guide to effective breathing practice
When approaching a breathing session, it is essential to prepare properly to obtain its full benefits. Below we provide you with a professional guide to help you in your practice:
Optimal Environment
Look for a quiet space without interruptions. Consider using a pillow for lumbar support and a blanket to maintain a comfortable temperature. Incorporating soft music can enhance the relaxing atmosphere.
Start of Practice
Initially focus on your breathing. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale calmly through your mouth. Familiarize yourself with different breathing techniques until you find the one that best suits your needs.
Ideal Posture
Whether sitting, standing or lying down, it is vital to adopt a posture where you feel relaxed and can focus on your breathing without distractions.
Set an Intention
Before diving into the practice, clearly define what you hope to achieve. This intention will guide your session and enhance your concentration.
Respiratory Pattern
Many breathing methodologies use specific patterns, such as inhaling and exhaling counting certain seconds. Adapt a pattern that aligns with your own comfort.
Focus on the Act of Breathing
As you follow your breathing pattern, maintain your full attention on each inhalation and exhalation. Acknowledge and observe, without criticism, any thoughts or emotions that arise during the process.
Reception of Emotions
It is possible that, when breathing, previously neglected emotions or sensations emerge. Welcome them as an essential part of the process of self-knowledge and healing. Avoid judging or resisting them.
Consistency in Practice
The effectiveness of breathing is enhanced with regularity. Take time daily to deepen your understanding and enjoy the benefits to your physical and emotional well-being.
