The advantages of being "conscious" and "breathing slowly"

🐒 the advantages of being "conscious" and "breathing slowly."

Deeply connected physically and mentally. 💫

Let's look at these advantages that actually happen when we practice both at the same time. 👇

🌿 1. Reduce stress immediately.

Breathing slowly sends a signal to the brain that it is "safe." The body reduces the secretion of stress hormones such as cortisol, making us feel calmer.

🫀 2. Helps the heart beat in a balanced rhythm.

Slower breath makes the parasympatetic nervous system (rest system) more active, the heart beats slower, blood pressure drops.

🧘‍♀️ 3. Be more conscious with the present.

When we catch the breath-in-and-out rhythm, we do not accidentally think about the past or worry about the future, allowing the "heart to live with now."

🧠 4. The brain is clear. Think more clearly.

Consciousness improves the prefrontal cortex, so we make rational decisions, not emotional ones.

💤 5. Sleep easier.

5-10 minutes of deep slow breathing before bedtime will help calm the nervous system, reduce loop thinking, and deepen sleep.

💗 6. Restore mind power and self-tenderness.

Being mindful of the breath is the simplest way to "take care of ourselves," allowing us to know what we are feeling and forgive ourselves more easily.

✨ Try practicing for a few minutes a day, like taking a breath for four seconds, holding back for two seconds, and then relaxing for six seconds.

Do it often. You'll know "Calm up without much effort." 🌙
