Breathing exercises for relaxation

Breathing exercises are very beneficial because in addition to reducing stress , they improve lung capacity and performance in any physical activity . They are not only for those who suffer from respiratory difficulties, as is commonly believed, but can be done by all people who seek relaxation and better control of their emotions.

 

On certain occasions, the decrease in the amount of oxygen in the blood accelerates the aging process , decreases energy and mental ability; In addition, the lack of flexibility of the muscles of the rib cage prevents correct breathing , according to the portal routinedeejercicios.com

 

For this reason, we present some basic breathing exercises that improve your aerial capacity and promote relaxation :

 

1. Lie on your back comfortably, place both hands on your upper abdomen, inhale slowly and deeply, bringing the air down to your stomach (you'll notice when your hands rise a bit) and then to your chest; when you can't breathe in anymore, hold your breath for a few seconds and release it slowly. Do this exercise for 5 minutes.

2. Sit with your back straight, exhale and then inhale slowly as in the previous exercise , bringing the air to the abdomen, hold the air and release it slowly. Take five  breaths and close your eyes, then take five more.

3. Repeat the previous exercise , but when you exhale , try to let the air out while saying “HUM”, this will help you empty your lungs as much as possible.

4. When you have a little more experience, you can perform Tai Chi Chuan breathing; Sitting down you should take a short breath until you place both arms stretched out in front, from that position take another short breath until you place your arms at shoulder height on the side. Finally, take another short breath in and bring your arms up, then exhale slowly through your mouth as you lower your arms.

Good breathing is essential for your body to function properly, so if you do these exercises at least 3 times a week you will have better physical and mental performance, in addition to maintaining a state of relaxation that allows you to make better decisions and actions.
