Aaron is ready to publish his next entry. I read a previous version of it last week, and it was a difficult read. As I think about all we have shared thus far, it almost feels like too much. It feels extremely intimate, and to have it out there publicly feels really weird. I don’t want people feeling sorry for us, and I don’t want people to change how they interact with us, believe in us and trust us. I also want everyone to know that while all of this has been taking place, we are so damn happy.
So before you read Aaron’s next post, I want to share something with you. Perhaps you will even try it now.
“Heart Focused Breathing” is the foundation for all of The Heart Math Institute’s techniques.
If you practice it regularly, it will change the way life events impact you. Heart Focused Breathing has incredible long-term physical, emotional and mental health benefits that impact your heart, your brain, your immune system your DHEA levels and most important, it’s clinically proven to reduce your cortisol levels. And it’s deceptively simple.
But more about that in my next post. So here we go:
Sit upright comfortably, and do this for 3-5 minutes. Feel free to set a timer or download a breathing app to follow. Your eyes can be open or closed. You are going to place your awareness in the area of your heart so feel free to place your hand over your heart if that helps you bring your attention there.
Heart Focused Breathing Technique
Focus your attention in the area of the heart.
Imagine your breath is flowing in and out of your heart or chest area, breathing a little slower and deeper than usual.
Suggestion: Inhale 5 seconds, exhale 5 seconds (or whatever rhythm is comfortable).
If you find your mind wandering, just bring your attention back to the area of your heart.
Have a beautiful day.
Love,
Linda
