Open to what we are being shown. Don't judge things to be good or bad just look at what is occurring. Practice a moment of detachment and breath. When we tense we limit our breathing and our bodies ability to deal with the physiological reactions that are brought on by negative thoughts. Head aches, increased heart rate, stiffness and tightening of our muscles, adrenaline and other chemicals being released into our body, variations in skin temperature with cold sweaty hands, or flushed faces.
Breathing is fundamental to our existence.
With awareness we can increase our control of our Breathing, using it as a tool to help us in stressful situations. Below are some breathing techniques that I have found very useful. Take in as much air as you can through your nose. As soon as you have inhaled breathe all the air out through your nose. Don't pause in-between breathes.
