I tend to shallow breath when I’m annoyed or stressed. It was very eye opening to remind myself to deep breathe when I feel like this… 💪🏼
Whenever you feel like this… may the insight to deep breathe comes to your mind 🌬️✨

You are so right. I discovered the power of deep and long breath only some years ago, and since then trying to use it to calm myself in difficult periods, and very recently trying to have a small breathing session at least 3/4 days a week (started doing daily after I woke up, but being consistent ia ao fucking hard, having to go to work doesn't help 😅).
The results are not always the same, and sometimes you can feel it works much better than others, but I always feel a sense a relief after, it helps to channel better internal energy, and to let it flow when I feeling it stuck..
Once, one of the first time I did it, was able to have an unbelievable experience of transcending my body and consciously flying over the sea and reaching a specific place, it was all so vivid.. never reached that level of 'concentration' again, unfortunately.. 😅🥲
Missed this!
I’d benefit a lot from meditation since I have a really wild and busy mind. I am often lazy. But I think things like just listening to the sound of a forest for a few moments, can calm the mind very well. I think it’s not always about shutting the mind off, at least for me, sometimes it’s just listening somewhere peaceful and accepting what you think.
A breathing exercise after waking up sounds great. If you benefit from it, just do it when you feel like it! Well our bodies have different things to process everyday, so sometimes it can be really intense and helpful, sometimes it’s easy, sometimes you have no space to do it. That’s fine. No pressure with creating peace ✨
Maybe you had this experience because you had no expectations! Or this was a kind of conscious shift that happens once and changes you forever… 💫
I’m already seeing benefits from breathing exercises through yoga. I often forget to mindfully breathe there 😂🧘♀️
"no pressure with creating peace" thanks for underlying this, it's an aspect I wasn't considering, and indeed having to push something like that even in moments you don't feel to or have the time wouldn't very likely achieve as good results as if you were in the mood.
Yeah I do believe that experience was eye-opening, and who knows, maybe will happen again.
Yeah I do also think mych more about conscious breathing than before, helps..
Pura vida Franny 🍀🤙
