Wellness Rituals – BREATHE
The Power of Breathing
The power of breath is underestimated. We often take for granted this simple, automatic function of our body. Interestingly, controlled breathing has been a powerful tool in Eastern philosophy since ancient times. Understanding how to use and control your breathing effectively will help you to experience the benefits.
The Benefits of Mindful Breathing
Mindful breathing has proven rewards for your mind and body. From reducing anxiety and stress levels to lowering blood pressure. Taking 5 minutes in the morning to practice mindful deep breathing can work wonders.
Slowing Down Your Breath
Try to become more aware of your breath and control it by slowing it down. Count to four as you inhale and then again, as you exhale. This will ensure you are breathing much more slowly than you are used to. As a result, your body will receive an increase of oxygen supply to the body, giving you more energy. More energy means increased motivation, productivity, and creativity, making you ready for the day ahead.
Breathing with Essential Oils
By Nala recommends 5 minutes of mindful breathing in the morning with an Uplift candle or diffuser by your side.
The citrusy notes of Bergamot, Red Mandarin and White grapefruit essential oils have therapeutic properties known to increase alertness, enhance radiance and awaken your mind and body. A welcome burst of positivity to help you conquer the day!
