Consciously breathing for just a few minutes can bring a great sense of peace and calm to your day. A bit like doing your pelvic floor squeezes, no one needs to know that you’re doing it. You can do this breathing during meditation, on a walk, in your car or at your desk. ⠀
⠀
This is my piece of #trulymetime this afternoon. Before I head off to work I’m going to sit and practice some Pranic Breathing. And here’s how you do it:⠀
⠀
👅  Gently place your tongue on the roof of your mouth. This helps circulate energy throughout the body.⠀
👃  Inhale through your nose for six counts.⠀
👄  Hold your breath for three counts.⠀
👃  Exhale through your nose for six counts.⠀
👄  Hold your breath for three counts.⠀
This 6-3-6-3 breathing completes one cycle.⠀
⠀
Paying attention to your breathing is one of the fastest ways to become calm, centred, and energised. When we feel anxious, excited, or fearful, our breathing becomes quick, and shallow? So slow down, remember to let your stomach expand then fill your lungs with air as you inhale and as you exhale your stomach goes in first, and then your lungs contract as you let the air out.⠀
Try it out for a few cycles and see if it alters things for you.  Me, I’m off to work with a smile on my face.⠀
