Exhale. That\u2019s what she said to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This yoga instructor, by the way, happens to be my oldest daughter. During our sessions, it is the only time that she is allowed to boss me around. Focus on your breathing, Mommy, I\u2019d been told last time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But yesterday, as I was preoccupied by thoughts, those words came to me in a whisper. As I mulled such things over. The weight of it all, as so the wait for it all. That which has yet to be done and all unknowingly ahead, at that moment slowed my breath. Or was I holding it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Focus on your breathing, Mommy, meant Mommy, focus on living just yesterday. So today I shall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shallow Breaths as a title is a dead on reminder. For me it places more emphasis on my breathing. One must not just breathe. One must breathe with intention to truly live. So to you I say, focus on yours. Live intentionally by monitoring those breaths. Let\u2019s do this together because each and every inhale is another day to be amongst the living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I took my daughter\u2019s suggestions to the next level by doing a bit of research for a more strategically focused breathing style. Understanding the what\u2019s and whys can be of much benefit, so I am told. So I had a talk with my boy AI. and I was quite impressed by what had been gleaned about that subject matter. Breath was spoken. I also had the opportunity to have a quick chat about such thangs with Queen Jackie. Here you find a quick peek into that convo and her photo. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mouth Wide Open<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As God wakes us up and blesses us with another merciful day, breathing techniques are very important for the mind, body, and soul. It helps with our development. Which tempers our stress, and anxiety, through calm transformation can occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we wake up, our mind, body, and soul needs to be cleansed. We&nbsp; must be relaxed. No thinking or over thinking about anything or anyone. At that moment no thinking about how your day is going or should go. Think about being still each breath that you take. Inhale and exhale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This helps with blood flow and brain stimulation. This is for all of your organs. Your heart, lungs, kidneys. The entire body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without air, we wouldn\u2019t exist, so take your breaths on. A breathing technique that might be useful starts with inhaling slow and exhaling through the nostril and then out of the mouth and repeat. You can also do arm rotations forward and backwards, and neck movements to the right and up and down. You can also rotate your head in circles in slow motion to avoid dizziness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope you enjoyed this little introduction of how the body lives through breath. Peace and blessings to you all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bottom of Form<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>YOU DID THAT\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Visit Localtalkweekly.com<\/strong> to read drafts in its entirety and check out the archives getting even more amazing content from the Entertainment section.
