단순함이답이다

'박정희 대통령이 왜 죽었소'

 

벌써 아주오래 전 어느 기도원 집회에서 그 시절의 일류 부흥사가 강당을 가득 메운

집회에 모인 기독교인들을 향해 던진 연단에 손 첫 순간에 던진 질문이었다.

그걸 누가 모르겠나 다 아는 대답들을 한다. 대답을 다 듣고도 한 순간의 '뜸'을 들인 후

'틀렸다. 총에 맞아 죽은 게 아니라 숨을 못쉬어서 죽었다'

 

호흡은 우리 육신이 만들어 제ㅐ공하는 그 어떤 것보다도 비교가 안되게 중요하다,

아주 중ㅇㅅ하다. 병원의 산소호흡기와 같은 죽음의 문고리를 잡은 이들에게 하는

마지막 처방이 호흡이다. 그러나 우리 중 그 누구도 호흡을 위해서나 호흡의 그 질을

위해서나 그 호흡 운동의 보다 나은 효능을 위해 생각하는 사람은 별로 없다.

주변을 돌아 보면 호흡을 강조하여 평소에 이를 강화하여 삶의질 생명의약동 활기박력

자신감 여유평안 ... 등을 찾아 가는 무리단체그룹들이 꽤 많이 있고 또 나날이 그 숫자가

늘어나고 있다고 한다.

 

하루의 일상에서도 꼴까닥 숨 넘어 갈 그 막힌 어이없는 미칠것만 같은 경우를 맞닥트린다.

그럴 때 어떻게 해결 대처 처리하시나요. 사람에따라 문을박차는것부터 뛰쳐나가는것까지

무수히 많을 것이다. 물헌 도움이 된다 그러나 이런 것들은 해결처리에 해당하는 부작용

그 댓가가 너무 혹독할 수 있다. 전혀 부작용없는 원천적인 해결 방법이 있다.

 

숨쉬기 호흡법이다. 화가 나면 숨소리도ㅓ 거칠어지고 빨ㄹ라지고 불규칙적이다. 그러나

평안하고 느긋할 때는 숨쉬는 사이도 길고 조용하고 규칙적이고 자연스럽다.

화가나시나요 두려우신가요. 호ㅓ흡에 주의하고 호흡에 집중하여 일이 잘될 때 평안할

때의 호흡으로 전환하십시요. 생명의원천 호흡이 모든 문제 스레기 부정의 찌꺼기를

다 태워버리고 신선하고도 참신한 해결책을 만들어 냅니다. 확실히 틀림없이.

 

 

 

Relaxation Breathing Techniques For A Better Mood

 

Breathing is so much more than a fundamental function that our bodies perform. By providing our cells with the vital and life-sustaining oxygen, we are connected to the pure energy of life. With each breath we take, we are introduced to fresh possibilities and limitless opportunity. Naturally, our body needs to breathe in order to cleanse. By ridding harmful waste, our mind and body depends on each  breath, and without it we would perish.

Thankfully, breathing is an involuntary process (meaning, it happens automatically unless you consciously make an effort to control it yourself). During the respiratory process, you take in oxygen though your mouth or nose, your lungs expand, providing oxygen to your entire body and then contract releasing carbon dioxide waste through your mouth or nose.

When we are anxious we tend to take fast and shallow breaths, but when we are relaxed and content, we breathe slowly and deeply. If you find yourself in an upsetting or anxiety-provoking situation, try to take your attention away from the situation at hand and focus your attention on your breathing – making each breath slow, deep and easy. Of course, this is easier said than done because when faced with the actual situation, awareness tends to fade. 

 

The key, is to practice some daily breathing exercises at home to develop conditioning before we encounter these situations. This will benefit anyone, regardless of whether you suffer from anxiety or not. 

Breathing exercises are an excellent way to improve your overall state of mind and to give you a better outlook on life in general. You will be surprised at the difference it makes on your mood, focus and relationship with others!

It is recommended that you set aside 10 to 20 minutes every day, preferably at the same time (but this is not essential). Always try to ensure that you pick a peaceful place where you can be totally alone and entirely free from distractions.

Then, follow these steps to complete the ultimate relaxation breathing techniques: 

• Sitting up as straight as possible with your eyes closed, relax your shoulders and then focus on relaxing the rest of your body.

• Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth, counting to 5 on each inhale and each exhale.

• For every inhale, imagine your head being pulled towards the sky (representing the rise in energy and expanded awareness.)

• For every exhale imagine your tailbone being pulled to the ground (representing a sense of being grounded and in touch with the body.)

• Continue this rhythm without pausing. You will start to feel relaxed and energized.

Another one of the best relaxation breathing techniques you could practice is the following:  

With one hand on the chest and the other on the belly, take a deep breath in through the nose, ensuring the diaphragm (not the chest) inflates with enough air to create a stretch in the lungs. The goal is to take 6 to 10 deep, slow and easy breaths per minute for 10 minutes each day to experience immediate reductions to heart rate and blood pressure. This exercise is great in reducing anxiety levels.

Once you practice one of these breathing exercises on a regular basis, you will find that you have more energy and may even benefit health wise due to the increased oxygen flow to your body. This is due to the fact that you are breathing deeper and longer on a regular basis. In addition, you are also building the muscles between your ribs. Eventually this will become an unconscious habit, one which your body which most certainly thank you for!

After your breathing exercise why not throw in some light meditation as well, if you have the time. 

While breathing is an unconscious process, when we transform it into a conscious and positive process, we can reap many fantastic benefits!
