Breathing

We often take our breathing for granted as part of our lives yet how we breathe has a profound effect on not only our physical but emotional and spiritual well-being. Breathing, if used effectively, can be something which can calm us down in a crisis, for example as well as to be able come into more appreciation and joy for the gifts we have around us. This is why traditions like yoga have taught so much about how best to use the breath to enhance both our health and spiritual practice.
