The Mindful Journey

Belly breathing meditation


Listen Later

Our natural breath engages the diaphragm, a thin, but strong muscle between the chest and the abdomen. 

When we use this muscle to breathe, the stomach rises and fall with ease, allowing us to initiate feelings of relaxation. 

In our fast-paced lives, many of us have forgotten how to breathe deeply, instead, we breath exclusively into our chest.  

This makes our breath shallow. And by doing so we promote the body’s ‘fight or flight response associated with feelings of stress, even when we are not necessarily stressed.  

Trough the belly breathing meditation we can:

 .Increase supply of oxygen and nutrients to cells throughout the body

 .Increase the supply of blood and nutrients to muscle blood and bones

 .Relax muscle spasm and relieves tension 

.Release and reduces muscular tension that eventually may cause structural problems 

.Support muscle growth and provides energy to get things done  


Enjoy! :)
