A Course In Conscious Breathing
With Maureen PeltonResearch shows that how we breathe can impact our physical and mental health. Seeing that, as humans, we are unconscious breathers, we tend to develop limiting breathing awareness throughout our lifetime. When we breathe properly, however, and with conscious intention, we can improve and even change our automatic breathing habits, which can lead longer and healthier lives. In this 7-day course, we will explore our connection to our breath and our unconscious breathing habits and discover several breathing techniques that are scientifically proven to support our health and well-being. You will learn what science has been discovering about how we breathe and its impact on our physical and mental heath. We will explore and play with several breathing techniques for anxiety, balancing the brain, regulating the nervous system, clearing subtle energy, and accessing the subconscious. Most of the techniques we will practice are simple, and can be done anywhere and anytime. Two of them are more involved, and may facilitate a significant shift in your body and your awareness. As we explore different practices, it is my hope that you will find the techniques that work for you, and that with a little practice, you’ll become a more conscious, aware breather.
Discover science-backed ways to breathe consciously for a longer, healthier life.
