June 6 | Breath and the Emotions
Since breathing affects by one’s emotions and moods,
many negative emotions are often carried by bad breathing patterns, such as:
• Sadness and the dominance of exhaling
• Shock and the holding of one’s breath
• Fear and the choppiness of one’s breath
• Worry and the shortening of one’s breath
• Anger and the sudden bursting out of uncontrollable breath.
By using Wild Goose movements as an emotion stabilizer, we will learn to transform unhealthy breathing patterns to ones that promote and maintain good emotional and physical health.
Noticing the breath while practicing the delightful and easy-flowing Wild Goose movements will train your body movements to be natural and comfortable. Some of the breathing techniques we will focus on are:
•“Chinese Kegel Breathing” which makes inhalation easier
• Circular movements allows for smoother breath
• “Reverse Abdominal Breathing” elongates the breath
