Although you have been breathing your whole life, you probably haven’t been taught the basics of good breathing. Most people some of the time, and some people a lot of the time, breathe poorly and mindlessly (causing poor oxygenation of the blood) which hurts the health of the body and impairs the functioning of the mind.

If you watch a baby breathing you will see that when they inhale and exhale their belly rises and falls. Most people due to the stresses and strains of modern living have forgotten their natural instincts to breathe from the belly and instead breathe shallowly using mostly their chest.

Good breathing uses the belly / abdomen and leads to improved stamina in athletic ability as well as protects you from disease.

But most of all good breathing is one of the best tools to stimulate the relaxation response which results in less tension and an overall sense of well-being. According to the Chinese, breath work is a major way of working with your universal life force – you Chi. Working with your breath can help build up chi and transform it into other forms of energy for the body.

The following breath practices are very powerful and if done regularly can improve the health of the body which will help improve the health of your mind.
