Respiration and Inspiration both contain the root word Spirit. This means you can use your breath as a tool to inspire your work and “re-spirit” or renew yourself.
A simple exercise called Resonance Breathing connects your mind with your body through the breath. Resonance is when two or more things or systems come into harmony with each other. Connecting your bodymind with your breath calms your nervous system, and opens you up to co-create with the Universe.
If you require a mental reset, but don’t have time to take a power nap, spend a quick minute on The Breathing App. I recommend using the setting with the tones; it gives your brain another sensory cue to calm and reset.
Mindful breathing shuts off the stress response, and in doing so, it activates relaxation and a whole host of other health benefits, including reduced inflammation, better immune system function and improved digestion.
