Conscious Breathing

Conscious Breathing is a term that refers to different medical and therapeutic methods to improve one’s breathing function. These methods work with directing the awareness to one’s breathing and with changing habits, which impair the optimal functioning of the breath system. The human respiration is controlled consciously and unconsciously. The different schools of conscious breathing use this for stress reduction, improving breath related diseases, and training in mindfulness.

By improving the way, we breathe we will oxygenate our body more efficiently. When we take control of our breathing, we will directly influence our thoughts and feelings, our internal organs such as the heart and brain, and the body’s various functions such as muscle movements, digestion and the immune system.
