Ever wish you could discover the elusive
secret to life?
Truth is, it isn't that elusive, nor is it
really a secret.
The answer is breathe!
Think about it for a moment and you'll see
that it is true. No breath = no life. You stop breathing, you stop
living. Literally. It's as simple as that.
- As long as you are breathing, you are alive.
- As long as you are alive, you can make any choice you want .
- As long as you are breathing and can make any choice you want, you are free.
- As long as you are free, you have no need for excuses.
- If you have no excuses, you have nothing stopping you.
- If you have nothing stopping you, you are fully present and alive.
From ancient texts to the most modern
science, there is agreement that the heart is the true “brain” controlling the
body. It has been proven that our hearts
react to external and internal stimuli before any other sensor in the entire
body. Actually, the heart reacts just before
there is any measurable external or internal stimuli!
The rate at which your heart beats
determines what signals it sends to the brain and the rest of the body’s
systems. The signals that are sent,
determines whether one is healthy or not.
The only way to consciously change
the rate the heart beats is by consciously changing the pattern of the
breath.
- By breathing slower and fuller, the heart rate slows.
- When the heart rate slows, the heart sends out the proper messages.
- When the proper messages are sent out, the body responds better.
- When the body responds better, your thinking gets clearer.
- When your thinking gets clearer, you make better choices.
- When you make better choices, you relax and your breathing gets fuller and slower.
So, the answer to anything and everything in
your life is to breathe!
