🧘♂️
Nose breathing is the key to a calm, steady, and quiet mind.
Benefits include enhanced oxygen uptake, reduced stress levels, increased tolerance to Co2, and improved humidity and filtration of the air we breathe.
The nasal passages filter, humidify, and warm the air before it reaches the lungs, protecting the respiratory system and improving the air's quality entering the body.

A beautiful morning guiding a meditation and breathwork journey for @cosmoss 🌿 Immersed in the scent of Sacred Mist ✨️
'I remember walking with Kate in her garden and seeing lots of Cosmos. They were dancing in the wind, slightly wild and unruly, yet delicate and gentle. I asked Kate if she had planted them - but the wildflowers had found her. That is where our journey for CosMoss started.' ✨️🌿
Twice the calm breathing. Lengthen your exhale to tap into the parasympathetic nervous system, influencing the body's ability to relax & calm down. 🧘♂️
🔹️When we feel anxious or under stress, it's easier to breathe too much, causing undue stress.
This technique can be done in any position that's comfortable for you.
🔹️Inhale in for 4 seconds through your nose
🔹️Exhale for 8 seconds through pursed lips
Repeat this breath cycle until you feel calm. 🧘♂️
Wake up with this gentle wave like breathing. 🌊🧘♂️ Creating a wave of movement through the body. Stimulating your respiratory, nervous, lymphatic, and digestive systems before reaching for your phone or morning cup of Joe 🧘♂️☕️
Thank you for having us #bfiflare . I had a migraine, so in solidarity, my fam wore 🕶's. So nice for 'the Lime Green Shirt' to be included in the 'tender hearted' category with so many touching and important stories. @britishfilminstitute 🌈
When we create the conditions in our lives that connect us to our natural rhythms, we are essentially connecting more deeply with the natural rhythms of our biology. Start by taking a deep breath. We can ride the waves 🌊
I love this image @sunshinee.00 🌊 ☀️
