Breathing techniques
Our breath oxygenates the body, expels toxins, and enlivens the tissues. Your breathing rate will also change in correspondence to how your emotional biology is working so good breath control can help you to manage your emotions. Another benefit is that good breathing aids digestion. Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayuvreda say that when we breathe through our mouths, we age the body whereas when we breathe through our nose efficiently, we access the lower lobes of our lungs where our anti-stress hormones get activated.
