From the moment we’re born into the world, there is one bodily process that starts and only stops when we cease to exist, breathing. It is only fair then that we, as human beings, use our intelligence to acknowledge, understand and conquer the power of breathing since it has the means to change the way we live.
The process of breathing is biologically inherent. Simply put, we breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. However, the perception of each is vastly different from the other. Oxygen is viewed as pure and necessary whereas CO2 is considered toxic. It is in this hazy perception that the significance of deep breathing is often lost. But by altering how fast or how deep we breath, we can transform our state of being from nervous to prepared, or from panicked to composed.
O2 and Co2 make up the duopoly of our very existence and breathing properly creates a balance between the two. Being a master of your breathing gives you sole power to change the way you feel, think, perform and react in a situation. Using your lungs efficiently is one of the greatest assets you can possess.
We invite you into our meditation circle with breathwork guru, Sujay Reddy who takes you on a journey with no baggage and breath as your only companion. He also talks us through common misconceptions that exist regarding breathing. So tune in, sit comfortably and follow this step- by- step meditation exercise which will definitely leave you with something to ponder over.
