Breathing affects our state of mind, emotion, and body. It can make us feel excited or calm, tense or relaxed. It can also make our thinking confused or clear.
Below is a breathing technique use with the practice of Pranayama or yoga exercises.
Watch this informative video from QuarkTech Inc. They explain more in depth the practice behind conscious breathing.
Many of us especially women have learned to breathe through our chest instead of through our abdomen because we are too self-conscious about our stomach protruding out thus making us look fat. So we tend to breathe really shallow in our chest area.
I admit, I am guilty too.
Didn’t even know I was breathing incorrectly until I was trying to learn how to sing.
The instructor pointed out the proper way of breathing is to breathe from your diaphragm…the very same place you access your voice.
What do you know? That’s how babies and dogs breathe. They aren’t afraid of bulging tummies. They don’t suck in their guts.
Let’s learn how to breathe like a baby again.
Such a huge difference breathing from my abdomen. I feel more energize and my mind feels clearer.
So I want to share this video of Vineeta Gogia, an experienced yoga instructor, showing you the correct breathing technique.
Feeling frustrated and frazzled. Tired of suppressing my emotion, not letting it all out. And tired of feeling fake. I wanted to be my REAL self without coming across as an uncaring or even a selfish bitch.
I want to release my emotion in a healthy way. Yet, I find it that I still have a cap on. And there’s only a little peep of opening. A part of me just doesn’t feel it appropriate letting it all out.
When my fiance walked out, I accused him of judging me and labeling my emotion as unacceptable as if there is something wrong about me feeling this way. I got so furious that he was not willing to be there with me and support me by allowing me to feel through these emotion. I felt he was rejecting me…ALL of me. I couldn’t help it but felt there is something seriously wrong and unacceptable about me.
That lead me to ask myself how can I feel and release these emotion and still be alright that I am feeling frustrated and angry. It prompted me to surf the net for some answer. How to be my genuine self without feeling guilty.
I found this audio interview of ‘Five Principles for Becoming a Radiant Woman with Alexis Sheppard and Shana Weinstein’.
Here, Alexis Shepperd and Shana Weinstein share with Alissa Kriteman the SECRET of how to access our genuine feminine self without feeling guilty or wrong. They go about to discussing the Five Principles for Becoming a Radiant Woman. Below is a brief excerpt of these five principles taken from the interview:
The first phase is embodiment and expression. This is: feeling what you’re feeling, whether you like it or not–whether you want to be feeling something else or not–feeling what you’re feeling and expressing it.
The second phase is trust and surrender. Looking at surrender, not as submission, but actually as letting go from a place of choice. One of the most fundamental places that we start with this with women is looking at boundaries. Looking at that we actually have a right to set our own boundaries, even in the most mundane ways, and teaching women how to say no with an open heart.This is actually a source of feminine power, how it is that we appropriately set our boundaries, and then our trust, which is just the most exquisite thing when we can give it authentically, when we feel it.
The third phase is desire and pleasure: what you desire and what makes you happy.
The fourth stage is fulfillment: the art of actually being fulfilled in the way your life is, and loving yourself the way that you are now, regardless of your circumstances.
And the final phase that we work with women on is radiance, which really has to do with a deeper, more authentic understanding of the beauty and the power that we all have right now.
I’ve read through the interview and listened to the audio. Girlfriend, if you got frustrated just like me. This is a gem. Let Alexis and Shana dymistify what it means to be an authentic woman. They’ll share a new perspective, a new way of allowing you to feel all range of your emotion and free yourself from ever feeling you just can’t feel or be yourself. Let Alexis Shepperd and Shana Weinstein share with you how to let your feminine radiance glow again. How we can expand our source of empowerment and love ourselves more. How we can access our own radiance inside of ourselves and have that be an authentic expression in the world.
