Meditation is a powerful tool to free the body and mind of the vicious path of the stress that leads to physical illness. However we do not need to go home and sit in the Lotus position in order to free ourselves. Meditation starts with awareness and it gets better if we enter into the continuum of active relaxation. We can practice this while we are working, driving, walking or even shopping. Any journey begins with a first step. So what is the key place to start the practice of active relaxation? Proper breathing patterns are the integral to all stress relief techniques. Most of the time we are not aware of our breathing patterns. Let’s start on this path of awareness relaxation now. At first some may find practicing this breathing technique unusual or even a bit stressful, but it is necessary to meditate. This technique will be crucial as we seek to change the way we deal with difficult situations and if we are go deep into the mastery of our meditative practice. Imagine, learning how to deal with and get rid of frustrations and fears! This is the path of freedom. So try it. Spend a few minutes, or even one breath, practicing diaphragmatic breathing, and re-evaluate the stress in your body. You are likely to find a relief you might not have expected. Many think of breathing as a mere flexing of their rib cage, but this shallow breathing doesn’t provide the stress relief found by proper diaphragmatic breathing. By training yourself to breathe with your diaphragm you are taking the first step on the road to a meditative practice that, if followed, will lead you into a safe place and toward a road to recovery from stress and illness. When we start living in the present we understand that we cannot look for freedom or happiness in our past or future. Integrate diaphragmatic breathing into your life as you encounter stressful situations, memories or worries. You are a master, as is every single person around you. Something as simple as proper breathing can help you unleash personal power and health you never imagined possible by relaxing the body, expelling toxins and helping you move toward freeing your mind of its toxic ways.
