The Importance of Breathing


We have within our physical makeup the tools for self healing and complete wellbeing.

Read below and listen to the following audio clips from Abraham-Hicks on the importance of breathing, to our bodies and our physical health. And its connection to our mind and how our thoughts can interrupt our natural flow of breathing.


"Your breathing is a very big part of your well-being. Because with that deep breath there is activation on a cellular level. In other words, it is the current that carries the vitality to the extremities of the cells. And so the more you are breathing the more you are thriving. That's why athletes find themselves hardier than most. Because in their running or their stronger movement, the breathing comes natural. It is the breath that is the greatest advantage in all of that. Some say it is how the spirit moves, - and we would say even more specifically, it is the way life moves most efficiently through your physical body. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of your physical experience - and fortunately it is something that has not left your conscious mind - you don't have to prompt yourself to breath. It happens. But you can prompt yourself to breath more.

We would encourage that you would deliberately take some air in.

And then before you let it out - take some more air in -
and then before you let it out, take some more air in -
and then before you let it out, take some more air in -
and then before you let it out, take some more air in -
and then before you let it our, take some more air in -
and then before you let it out, take some more air in -
and then before you let it out, take some more air in -
and then before you let it out, take some more air in,
and then before you let it out, take some more air in -

and you say - "I can't take any more in because there's no place for it to go, and we say "yes there is" - take some more in. Expand, expand your capacity.

What happens is, your lungs are like balloons that can be all shriveled up or can be expanded fully. And as you move on a regular basis, they expand somewhat. But they don't expand fully. As you deliberately breath deeper, so that it becomes natural for them to become fuller, before you know it will be involuntary thing. You will just naturally breath deeper without even thinking about it. In the beginning, you have to coach yourself to breath deeper. When you're running you don't have to think about it, your body demands it. When you're moving your body you don't have to think about it. Your body demands it. But when you are sitting like an environment such as this, it is very helpful for you to deliberately breath in more, breathe in more, breath in more, breathe in more, breathe in more, breathe in more, breathe in more, breathe in more. And right when you think that you cannot breathe in any more, breathe in more, and then experience the deliciousness of a long easy out.. out.. out.. out.. out. out.. out. And then breathe in more, breathe in more, breathe in more, and as you do this more deliberately, you will do it more involuntarily and your bodies will thrive. It's even more important than water, but it's right up there with life."
