We have been given the breath of life. We are not always aware of how best to use it. The best way to use it is consciously, with conscience. Here is a tip you can use to begin to slow your life down, ground your senses, and establish grounding and stability and calmness in your life.
1. Breath in slowly, and release slowly, three times.
2. Begin to count your heartbeats.
3. Breath in for 4 heartbeats, then breathe out for 4 heartbeats. If you are anxious, nervious, upset, you may not be able to do this right away, but just let yourself slow down until breathing in and out for 4 heartbeats comes easily and naturally.
4. Anytime you feel yourself under stress, instead of reacting or becoming emotional, you can sit down and do this exercise. After you have made this a habit in your life, you will find your life becomes less of a circle of distress, and you can begin to make better sense of your life.
