Breathing through the nose helps bring our nervous system into the parasympathetic state which is the state of calm where as mouth breathing, activates and energizes the mind and body. ππ»2. Place your tongue at the roof of your mouth when youβre breathing! This one tip can bring so many benefits! -It helps keep the body directed toward the parasympathetic / calm state as the tongue pressing the roof is like a button to, slow down. Come down. - It helps with brain clarity as it forces the body to nose breathe vs mouth breathe. Mouth breathing can create feelings of anxiety, activation, brain fog / less clarity due to the nitric oxide and oxygen shifts in the brain. π¨(If you are ever angry or over stimulated in anxiety or by a situation, bringing the tongue to your roof and breathing very slowly and deeply into the body and belly can be so helpful! ) ππ»3. Choosing Deep BELLY and DIAPHRAGM breathing vs CHEST Breathing When we choose to breathe slowly and with presence, into our diaphragm and belly vs the chest, it helps the body signal the message to come back to calm. ** You can use your hands to follow the breath, placing one on the belly and one on the chest and guiding the breath into the belly and up. This practice can help feel the presence with the breath in the body and helps belly breathing become more natural over time. ππ»4. Focusing on SLOW Breathing vs Fast Breathing Remembering in moments of desiring more calm, slowing down the breath alone can do wonders. You can use counting of breaths, visualization with the breath for slowing it down or whatever helps bring awareness back to slow. If you try these tips, let me know what you think β₯οΈ
