It is interesting to know that our breath is important for healing the effects of trauma. Remember our breath is a constant companion for us throughout our day.
The time we spend on the yoga mat or the meditation cushion provides us with the practice that allows us to bring our attention to our breath in stressful moments. Examples of this can be everything from driving in the car, flying, giving a presentation, going to or being at work, and even our experiences with the latest pandemic.
Make it a practice to simply pause and take a deep breath.
Make it a habit to slow down the pace of your breath whenever you can.
Think of it as an instantaneous attitude adjustment.
