Appropriate way of breathing
We spend so much time learning about everything else in life but know very little about our "own life". The first thing we did when we came into the world was taking in a deep breath. The last thing that we will be doing in this world is breathing out. Between these two breaths lies our whole life. Yet, we never attend to our breath. It keeps changing. We breathe differently for every emotion. It also indicates the status of physical fitness and mental alertness. As soon as we become aware of our breathe, we become physical fit and also mentally alert.
Breath also keeps the mind and body in proper functioning. The right way of breathing is necessary to reduce stress ans stay healthy. Appropriate way of breathing gives following benefits
