I love breathwork and how wise our body is. My favorite breath is one where I can slow down and BE PRESENT.  Slow down with this episode and breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth, to a count of five for each. This is Coherent Breathing, bringing balance and harmony to your body.  I add humming today. Sound, in its essence, is vibration. Humming activate your vagus nerve which activates your parasympathetic nervous system, your ease comes through and you can increase awareness through this act alone.  Humming is a powerful healing force within your body and creates different vibratory frequencies can influence the mind and body. Some of the benefits of humming include it’s grounding and centering effects, improvement of airflow in sinuses, promotes mental clarity, regulates breathing, calms the nervous system, lowers blood pressure, revitalizes the cells of the body and more.

Coherent Breath with a flow to bring balance.  Breathe in for 5 and breathe out for 5 to feel and heal in harmony. Consciously connect your inhale with your exhale, and relax. Allow your jaw to fall open if it is comfortable.  Today is all for you, to receive your inhale and to release stress and anxiety. Enjoy! 

Breathing IN for a count of 4, keeping your lips closed and breathing in through your nose.  Holding for a count of 7, then exhaling for 8 through your mouth. As you exhale, open your mouth wide as if you were blowing out birthday candles with a HAAAA breath.  Repeating this pattern with me today for 8 total rounds, you will notice a shift in your state.  This is an excellent breath pattern to usher in a restful sleep state, as counting replaces an overactive mind.

Slowing down to count and breathe has a calming effect in your brain and body.  Box breathing is used to calm an over anxious mind, and notice clarity after.  Box breath counting is also helpful to use to fall asleep, as you count you retrain your brain to slow down too.  Inhale through your nose, and exhale out of your mouth with a little more effort than normal. Placing one hand on your belly just above your navel and breath with your diaphragm to activate your parasympathetic system. 

Today is a day of Thanks, and this session is to remind you of your eternal LIGHT. May you remember you are pure love energy and always connected to Source! 

In this breath session I use a 1:2 breath. Breathing in at a count of 3, and out for twice as long.  Deeply breathe in, filling up your lungs all around you as if a balloon was filling up inside, and let your breath out all the way to your belly, and activate your diaphragm.  Repeat, and feel your state change. As you change your breath, you move from a state of surviving to thriving. In this manner, you activate your parasympathetic and feel more ease in your body. You slow down, and are more present.  I added decrees today to remind you of how powerful your thoughts are.  Change your thoughts, you change your feelings, you act and see life BRAND NEW!  Everything is possible, you can breathe, feel, and heal.  Change your state, you change your fate!  Please take a snapshot of your favorite breath session and share it on social media - and tag me!  CONNECT WITH ME:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/traci.mahan/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_traci/ Website: https://www.feeltohealcoaching.com/ Email: [email protected]
