Breathe to instant calm
by Tameera Kemp
This simple technique will give your serotonin a boost and will only take a few minutes.
By following the below simple steps you will pump fluid up your spine, giving your brain a bath of sorts. Afterwards you’ll feel more centred, calm, happier and possibly a little light-headed.
The exercises help carry oxygen to your cells bringing in new energy. It helps improve memory and insomnia, excellent before a job interview, getting through fearful situations for some people like flying or to calm your mind.
1. Place your left hand on the left side of your upper chest and your right hand on the right side of your head.
2. Breath in through your nose with your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Breathe out through your mouth with your tongue resting on the floor of your mouth. Take four deep breaths.
3. Keeping your left hand in the same position, move your right hand to the back of your head. Take four more deep breaths as described above while holding this position.
4. Switch hands, placing your right hand on your right upper chest and your left hand on the left side of your head. Again, take four more deep breaths as described above while holding this position.
5. Keeping your right hand in the same position, move your left hand to the front of your head, palm on your forehead, fingers bending over the top of your head. Again, take four more deep breaths as described above while holding this position.
My friend, naturopath and healer Francine Lemessager passed this breathing exercise to me; I’ve enjoyed the benefits for years and happy I can share it with you.
We’d love to hear how these breathing exercises worked for you…
