How deep breathing
can help you
relieve stress and help you
attract what you desire
By Paul Bauer
Deep breathing, otherwise known as diaphragmatic
breathing, has been practiced for centuries. Some think that
this type of breathing is reserved for Yoga masters, Spiritual
teachers or people that have practiced this “art” for
years. but we are beginning to realize that anyone - “common
folks” - can practice this calming and balancing skill.
Why be concerned about deep breathing?
Great question. Some believe that they are already breathing
properly. If you ever feel stressed or frustrated, try this simple
test.
1) Lie down or sit upright and get comfortable
2) Place your hands on your lower abdomen
3) Exhale first, then
4) Breathe deeply, focusing on drawing your breath from your
nose through your lungs down through your diaphragm (lower abdomen)
5) As you continue this cycle, you will begin to notice if you
have been breathing from your chest or from your diaphragm
6) If you already breathe from your diaphragm, congratulations!

I didn’t even notice!
Awareness
As you practice deep rhythmic breathing, you want to be aware
of your breath slowly, calmly, like a cloud moving softly through
the sky - effortlessly. You will begin to notice that when you
concentrate on your breath, you begin to let go of unneeded thoughts,
habits, patterns that may no longer serve you. Be patient, masterpieces
take time...
