People are constantly losing their energy through senses. When we work, go shopping, watch TV or even spend time with family, we are always outward-oriented. Thus, if we don't take time to turn inwardly on a daily basis at least for 1-5 minutes, we may end up stuck, exhausted and with no energy. Have you ever had this feeling? Please write in the comments👇🏻
The thing is that we are all self-regulating systems with self-healing capacities, but the ONLY way that we can align and bring ourselves up is by turning inwardly. When we do so, we switch on to the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the «rest and digest» response in our body. This mode lowers our heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels, relieves stress, and brings more mental clarity and creativity.
One of the most powerful types of inner work is breathwork. Taoist breathing exercises were tested for centuries as a tool to boost energy levels, promote clear thinking, focus and concentration, clear up stress and negativity.
Here are a few explanations how this tool works:
☯️Focus and mindfulness. Breathwork emphasizes focusing one's attention on the breath, using it as an anchor to cultivate mindfulness. By directing attention to the breath, we let go of distracting thoughts and external stimuli, allowing the mind to settle and become more focused.
☯️Stress reduction. Taoist breathwork incorporates many types of deep diaphragmatic breathing, which triggers the relaxation response. As a result, heart rate decreases, blood pressure lowers, and overall muscle tension reduces.
☯️Balancing Yin and Yang energies. When there is an imbalance between Yin and Yang, it can manifest as mental and emotional disturbances. Taoist breathwork balances these vital energies within the body, restoring our equilibrium.
☯️Spiritual awareness. When you turn inwardly and do your breathwork routine, you cultivate a connection between the mind, body and spirit, which leads to deeper connection with the Universe. This way you can easier recognize and release blockages, and attract more universal energy for healing and daily living.
