The human body is a marvelous work of art from the heavens. It knows what to do and how to breathe in and out. But isn't it interesting, that most of us go through the day and don't think twice our breathing? It's not until we cannot breath or take in a full breath, that we become aware of our breath.
Conscience breathing is the most powerful way to pull us back to the present moment. It's the most powerful way to get us out of all the chatter in our heads. I'm not the best at meditation, I'll admit that. For me, when I meditate my mind takes me to the grocery store, my to do list, what I'm going to wear that day and what's the latest on Netflix. Very rarely do I experience complete nirvana when I meditate. Conscience breathing however is something I've been able to cultivate and apply in my life.
I learned a powerful breathing technique. Breath in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4 and make each breath consistent. I don't do it every day, but having the awareness that I have it as a tool to calm me down and bring me back to present is a great gift.
