I've only recently started taking control of my breath (despite my parents suggesting I learn it in childhood). It is hard to imagine the impact when you're not doing it.
When you start consider that you're going to try for a minute, then three, then five. It is truly insane the amount of change you'll experience.
- jgilias 5y agoCan you expand a bit on this? Do you do some kind of an exercise, or just focus on how you're breathing? Do you know why your parents suggested it?
- zafka 5y agoYes, please give a few details of how you are doing your practice.
- pempem 5y agoSure Parents -- Its cultural. They're Indian, I'm Indian American. Square breathing and other kinds of breathwork are maybe more commonly discussed as a result. Practice: Here's where my American-ness comes in. I've been using headspace and the Wim Hof method in the evenings and morning as well as yin yoga which is way slower than the vinyasa/cardio yoga I used to do. Sometimes I use headspace even in a lyft or during air travel It honestly still drives me insane from time to time to be slowing down but when I (rarely still) manage to break through my frustration it changes my mood and approach.
