Complete breath for increased productivity in the office
So we are in the office, working hard, and somewhere in the afternoon, about 8 hours after we wake up, we feel tired. No need to push away this feeling. Our bodies' natural performance curve seems to work like this. Now, ideally we should take a power nap. What if we don't have enough time, or we simply don't want to sleep in the office? Research shows that we can make ourselves more alert, reduce stress and improve cognitive functioning after some minutes of Complete Breath practice. It results to more patience, less stress, better reaction time, more efficiency and better health. It gives our body a rest and produces slower brain waves similar to sleep. The Complete Breath means breathing like a baby does... As we inhale, the pelvic floor opens, then the abdomen, then the rib cage, then the collarbones... all while completely relaxed! Then we exhale from the pelvic floor first. Seat with your back as straight as possible without exagerating, don't lock your neck or your tongue. Relax, then start observing your breath. Don't modify it, just observe it, see how much space you occupy. Then slowly direct you intention to your pelvis, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and release all the way. Remember to exhale from the pelvic floor first. Repeat! If you observe that natually there is a halt in your breath when your lungs are full and when your lungs are empty, it's a very good sign. In yoga we say that life force, ki, chi, prana sets in our body when there is a halt with our lungs full, and with the other halt when our lungs are empty, it is directed everywhere in our body. Apply ahimsa (non violence) to your breath cycle, never stress! After a cycle of even 5 complete breaths you will feel fresher, relaxed and ready for every challenge. Needless to say that when you see the benefits for yourself, you will include it in your daily rituals.
