Breathing is something that we do all the time, every day, and we do it without even thinking about it. Most the time our breath is shallow and just enough to keep us alive. When the brain and our body does not get enough oxygen, a signal of stress is send through the body, our most essential need is lacking. This will create anxious feeling in the body and will take us out of our “center”.
Even as an Ocean Beach Massage Therapist that is a trained expert in body psychology, sometimes I catch myself cought in the moment and my breath pattern is shallow and restrained. Even though I tell my clients to do it all of the time, it is easy to get distracted.
So, when you get stressed and feel like you are beginning to become overwhelmed, stop and take couple of minutes to focus on finding your breathe, let it climb slowly up and down your spine and regain your composure. It will help calm the situation, and making it a habit will help your quality of life in the long run.
