In the breath work episode we will be tapping into our sadness breath. When we get sad, our body naturally goes into a breathing pattern to reverse the emotion, eventually bringing us back to a state of calm again. If we become aware of this natural breathing rhythm we can actually engage this at any time during our day in order to stop the "sadness snowball effect" in its tracks before it begins!
When we're sad, typically we go into a breathing pattern where it's very rapidly in and slowly out. This is a great breath exercise to bring you back to a state of calm again. Be careful of how far you go, because this can cause you to get a little bit woozy at times.
Hey, guys, this is Bea here in key Biscayne, Florida, and we're going to be continuing with our third course in our emotional breathing exercises. And this one, we'll be going over a sadness breath. So when we're sad, typically we go into a breathing pattern where it's very rapidly in and slowly out. And this is a great breath exercise to bring you back to a state of calm again. This, obviously, our body goes into this state of breathing in order to bring us back to a state of happiness. So that's what we're trying to engage without actually going into the sadness.
We're just mimicking the breath work itself so it looks something like this. So when we get sad, typically we kind of like. So it's very rapidly in and kind of a slow exhale out. So we're kind of going all the way in through one and two, our stomach and our chest, maybe not quite up to our head and letting it all the way out. So once again, that goes something like this. So rapidly in, we go in from our stomach, go up to our chest, and we let out slowly so we can mimic that kind of sadness breath from the belly into our chest and let it out slow.
You'll find with this breath work on the exhale, you'll get like a calming kind of sensation, almost like you feel a little bit woozy, a little bit dizzy, especially after you get into, like 30 or 40 breaths. And then you can start to maybe stop or go back to a normal breath rhythm after 30 or 40 because you may get a little bit too dizzy. So you want to be careful of how far you go, because this can cause you to get a little bit woozy at times. So with that caution, start with about 30 to 50 breaths, and then go from there, see how you feel, stop, and then you can start again.
Start about with maybe three rounds of this, and then take a break, see how you feel. So with that, that's our sadness breath, and we will continue with more breath work here soon. Thanks for watching.
