This was probably due to the fact that all my presentations for uni are due next week and I have just been very caught up with it all as I have been trying to achieve my best this year
After I had brought my attention to this issue I was able to access where those thoughts were forming and restructure them into giving my head more time and space and that everything will work out fine as long as I made the most of my positive energy
After my meditation my thoughts kept lingering on the previous breathing issue and trying to visually picture what happened to my lungs when I couldn't manage to take a full, deep breath
I have read about this somewhere before, I thought to myself, it must have been from reading about Chinese philosophical body breathing techniques where the inward breathing, inspiration, and outward breathing, expiration, were deconstructed to be able to figure out the importance of balancing our breath
I couldn't fully remember what it was all about so I decided to do some research on it and found that there weren't too much information on this aspect of breathing at all
So I would like to share with you what I discovered and hope it can assist in understanding our way of breathing and how it is connected to our physical and emotional health
It is said that our heart rate increases when we breathe in, and decreases when breathing out, therefore traditional ancient Chinese medicine stated that a person has to balance exactly their inward and outward breathing as an excess of either can lead to bodily disharmony
It is also stated that a person's emotional state can be read by their physical breathing- a person can be seen as impatient, or anxious when their inspiration is longer, or lacking in expiration and vice versa can depict them as lacking in energy and experiencing fatigue
