Introduction
Conscious Breathing Techniques are extremely effective at helping one to cope, heal,
and prosper on all dimensions of life. They have been employed by sages and wise
men/women of ancient and modern times for millennia. By focusing full attention on the
breathing process while using different patterns of inhaling and exhaling, one can achieve
transformative effects that lead to optimum heart/mind-body-spirit health. The ultimate
goal of the highest breathing techniques is liberation from all worldly suffering.
Here are some simple Conscious Breathing Techniques to use any time there is a need:
This breath is excellent for keeping you in prime physical health by ridding the lungs of
toxic materials that may not come out through regular breathing.
Focus on the nooks and crannies of your body as you fill with air and marvel at how full
you can make yourself. You may wish to move your arms and body to open up areas to
allow even more air in. A great breath for becoming aware of your body and the energy
within it and ultimately beyond it.
The breath is especially effective for bringing you relief when you are feeling painful
emotions. By focusing on taking away the pain of the world by adding it to yours, and
then giving back only love and compassion, you are able to step outside yourself where
an amazing transformation can take place. Often your pain will completely dissipate.
Excellent for bringing you to awareness of your presence in the here and now. Also good
for quickly eliminating any small issues of discomfort.
Practice this breath 100 times morning or night and experience the wavelets of joy that
begin to emerge from your being.
This breath is great to instantly transform your attitude into one of a very pleasantly
satisfied feeling. Opens the heart chakra and helps you to relax in your present
circumstances. One of my favorite breaths!
