The
Healing Power of Connected Breathing
Futile
Breathing
Due to poor breathing habits, limiting decisions about
ourselves, and suppressing emotional experiences, the
average person utilises only about 1 litre of their 6 to
7 litre lung capacity. These dysfunctional breathing
habits, are known as futile breathing, being
characterised by short, shallow irregular breathes and
tends to be associated with internal stress and
disharmony leading to confusion, tiredness, illness, and
poor results in life generally.
Connected
Breathing
During Connected Breathing the breath is guided back
to its natural state: relaxed, rhythmic, flowing, and
open. This promotes the 'whole body' integration of our
physical, mental, and emotional states of being
.
Eastern
cultures have explored the power inherent in the breath
and speak of the energy as 'chi' or 'prana'. Our breath
is a major source of energy supply . About 16 to 17 times
per minute we say "yes " to continuing our life here on
Earth and take another breath. We breathe about 10,000
litres a day, oxygenating some 27 trillion
(27,000,000,000,000) cells.
Expanded
Awareness By
practising connected breathing in a relaxed, passive
state we start to 'build up' the amount of energy in our
bodies. Our vibrational rate starts to increase and we
seem to 'shift gears' and open the door-way to altered
states of consciousness. In the presence of an
experienced practitioner, we then have an opportunity to
gently release suppressed or unresolved emotional
experiences and gain valuable insights into our
lives.
