Do you ever wonder how some people manage to age well, live to
be 90 or older, with a great quality of life? Some researchers have
discovered that these people tend to maintain a positive outlook
on life, they watch what they eat, they live in peace with themselves
and others, and they practice deep breathing meditation
to purify their energy and keep unnecessary stress away from their life.

Breath is the basic building block of life in the physical
plane. Breath is sometimes used as a metaphor for life
itself. Your breath is very powerful, it is your connection
between your nonphysical self and your physical self.
You can use your Breathing to increase your vitality,
improve your ability to concentrate, and to control
your emotions. Breathing also will help you to reduce
stress and anxiety, quiet your mind, relax and strengthen
your immune system. Your breath can also be used as a
powerful tool in meditation to release past trauma,
fears, buried memories and improve both your inner and
outer reality.
However, breath meditation to be beneficial must be deep,
not shallow. Observe a new born baby or a pet such as a dog
or a cat breathing. You will notice that when babies and
animals breathe, their stomachs rise and fall. This is
called deep breathing or Diaphragmatic breathing. Deep
breathing allows the body to take in more oxygen and
release more carbon dioxide. Deep breathing, carries many
health benefits: It will purify your blood, lower your blood
pressure, slow your heart rate, clear your mind, and relax
your muscles.
A simple Breath meditation
1. Sit or lie comfortably, with loose clothing.
2. Put one hand on your chest and one on your stomach.
While breathing deeply, focus intently on the breath as
it comes in and out.
3. Slowly inhale deeply through your nose.
4. As you inhale, feel your stomach expand with your
hand rising.
5. Slowly exhale through your mouth. Contract your
stomach muscles to expel the maximum of carbon dioxide.
6. Continue this breath meditation for twenty minutes.
When you use this simple breath meditation daily, you will
feel more relaxed, you will have better control of your
mind and emotions, you will feel happier and you also will
greatly improve your mental and physical health.
