Why am I talking with you about deep breathing?
The Values-based advisor will continue to prosper.
The Unmet needs-based advisor will continue to struggle.
Values-based deep breathing causes you, your being, and your soul to breathe deep into your belly, core, and heart, creating deep business and personal roots that grow deep, making you stronger and stronger.
Unmet needs-based shallow breathing in your upper chest cavity originates from your amygdala, creating shallow roots, if any, because the amygdala has you hyperventilating and releasing adrenaline in a constant and never-ending loop, making you weaker and weaker.
Deep Breathing Exercise
Here is one of the deep breathing exercises** that I have shared with my clients.
- Sitting upright, with a view to having a belt to tie around your ribcage, inhale, expand your ribcage out as far as you can, and then tighten the belt. This will give you a more conscious understanding of expanding and contracting your ribcage as you inhale and exhale, repeating ten times.
- Lay flat on the floor and place your hands on your belly, and as you are inhaling, push your belly out and up, and as you exhale, contract your belly inwards and repeat ten times. This process will help you to be more conscious of what’s happening with your body during the inhalation and the exhalation.
- Start by breathing in through your nostrils, filling your chest cavity to the count of five seconds. Hold your breath for twenty seconds. Control your exhale of your breath for 10 seconds. And repeat this 10 times. Note that this ratio is 5/20/10 and that you can modify this depending on your comfort level.
As you do the above deep breathing exercises, visualize the light of 10,000 suns radiating through every cell of your body while you affirm; that light, love, happiness, peace, and joy are within me. Remember to feel these affirmations at a deep heart level every time you breathe.
May your deep breathing and awareness of being allow your higher self to teach you what you don’t know and show you what you cannot see.
