Breathing Meditation - Why Is This So Important?

Why is breathing meditation so important? As we age, our breathing gets shallower. The breath is one of the ways we get energy into the body, so as we breathe in a shallower manner, our energy starts to deplete quicker. Also, because we stimulate the internal organs with our diaphragm, this stops happening when we breathe not using the full capacity of our lungs.

There are so many health benefits to why we should breathe deeply, and I cover them in the Dream Method mentoring programme that I am running on meditation at the moment. Deep breathing is definitely the best place to start when learning how to meditate. Focusing on your breath and breathing as deeply as you can really does bring remarkable changes to your physiology and your psychology.

All the way from deep breathing stretching the airwaves tissues which releases a chemical that helps to maintain the integrity of the airwaves, to generally making you feel calmer, relaxed and even less depressed. The changes in me were remarkable, but I had so much resistance to this at first. I slowly began to realise the benefits of deep breathing, and now catch myself checking how my breathing is throughout the day. And if I need to, I can deepen it very quickly.

Breathing Meditation Changes Our Bodies State

Breathing meditation, or deep breathing, also brings us down into the parasympathetic nervous state. I cover this in the free webinar on 5 meditation techniques that you can find the link to the advert leading you to the webinar below. It seemed ridiculous when someone first said that simply focusing on your breath is a meditation. You can try it right now.

Take a moment to breathe in and out five deep breaths. While you are doing this, monitor how many thoughts come into your head. How focused are you on your breathing? It is difficult, I know, I have been there.

But with practice, this becomes easier. Meditation is a wonderful voyage of discovery, and you actually become a little addicted to the feelings of joy, happiness and even bliss that it gives you, when you have practised it enough. But is that really good to admit that I have changed my addictions from alcohol, and all the other outside stimulations to give me happiness, and moved it to feeling the sensations I have inside.

I realise that this is another attachment, and find balance in this now. It is easier, I feel, to find balance coming from a place of meditation, rather than a place of physical addiction.
