BREATHING RHYTHMS – AWARENESS OF STRESS BREATHING PATTERNS

1.  Reflect on how any inner negative experiences you may have had today, or any other unconscious internal observations you had today stem from inefficient breathing patterns due to any of the below stress breathing symptoms:

• Weakened Immune System
• Weakened Spiritual Aura and Energetic Awareness
• Fear, Anxiety, or Tension in Body
• Bad Posture
• Restricted Blood Flow & Lack of Oxygen to Vital Tissues and Organs

Declare which of the above stress breathing symptoms may apply and how it relates to a negative experience or internal observation you had today (or multiple situations, if the case; if none, write “N/A”).

2.  Describe what old programmed or conditioned breathing patterns or stress responses you may be unconsciously holding on to may have contributed to these experiences, and where or who these patterns originated from.

3.  Describe what conditioned or programmed breathing patterns or auto-pilot stress responses contributed to these forms of physiological and emotional disconnection, and where or who these patterns originated from.

4.  Describe what new breathing patterns and internal awareness you can instill in your body to operate from a grounded, relaxed, and centered state to consciously attain inner calm, deeper presence, and aligned physiological and emotional responses.

5.  Describe what new breathing behaviors and conscious actions you can intentionally take to maintain slow, deep, and relaxed breathing, allowing you to operate from a grounded, centered state with a higher level of clarity, presence, and intention.
