14 Reasons to Practice Conscious Breathing

For centuries breathing methods have been foundational to the lives and practices of healers, spiritual guides, shamans, mystics and explorers in consciousness. By losing touch with their wisdom about breath we have lost touch with nature and our natural selves. Due to stress, fear, anxiety, depression, neurosis and various ways of numbing out, the majority of us are restricting our natural breath which is restricting life itself. In fact, being unconscious of our breathing compounds these all-too-common conditions. The wonderful news is that as long as you are alive it is never too late to cultivate the lost art of consciously breathing.

A few reasons why conscious breathing is an art worth cultivating…

• sparks clarity of mind, thought
