Power Breathing Exercise

Hi there! If your new, you may want to see {Intro to Me}
Anyway, this exercise similar to the Full body relaxation exercise, This is meant to calm people down and reduce stress levels. After all, people start to irrational when their angry, frustrated or stressed out. It's also meant to energize you a little. But by all means, do not stop eating or drinking because your think that it will give you energy you need.

A bit of philosophy first. Everything has energy, correct? A rock in a high place has Gravational energy, as does a stream flowing down a river. Fire gives out energy as well. Did you think about what fuels fire? Air. So obviously, if you didn't know this before, air has energy as well. So we are going to 'draw' the energy out of air to energize us and relax us.

Right, first, find a comfortable position. Unlike the Full body relax exercise, you do not have to lie down or recline, as long as your in a good position. Don't slouch, position yourself in a manner you will be comfortable in. Don't cross your legs, especially if your going to be breathing for a while. Your eyes can be open or closed. Closed is better though.

Now, breathe deeply in through your nose. As you do so, Visualise the energy in the air. ( You do not have to visualise the surrounding air, only when and as it comes into your body) Visualise the energy flowing down to your chest and stomach. It can be any bright color. I use white visualisations. This represents 'clean' energy, and your body will accept this visualisation more easily. Exhale through your mouth. Now see the Energy spreading out through your Arms and legs, to your toes and fingers.


Breathe in again. Now see yellowish, brown or black energy flowing from your fingertips and toes to your center, your chest and stomach. This
represents the old, used up energy. On the out Breath, Notice it traveling up your body, to your mouth, and out of the body. Repeat the exercise until you feel satisfied.

This exercise can be done in conjunction with the full body exercise, after you have finished the individual part relaxation.

What Happens?
OK, to be perfectly honest, I don't know the whole physics of this exercise. However, When you breathe deeply and relax, you help to regulate the heartbeat, and you will most likely feel more peaceful. The visualisations help to trick the body into feeling more refreshed to the point that you actually are refreshed.

Anyway, thanks for reading so far.
