Paulette Points To: YOUR NOSE.
Over the years I have received some funny reactions to the remark, breathe in through your nose . I may as well have asked them to breathe in through their ears !!
How many of you have actually thought about your nose and why it is placed in such a prominent place on your face.
We know that the nose is for smelling and smell is one of our five senses. We have established that it gives our face a shape, and that it grows into a bulbous object if we drink too much whiskey!
Time to wake up and smell the coffee, YOUR NOSE IS FOR BREATHING.
Paulette Points To: Nose breathing
-
Those two openings at the end of your nose are designed to allow the breath to enter the body slowly.
-
The air is filtered and warmed before it enters the lungs.
-
Nose breathing encourages the inhalation and the exhalation to be of equal length.
-
Nasal breathing can balance subtle energy at the space between the eyebrows hence better mental focus.
-
Nasal breathing has a knock on effect the central nervous system, allowing the body to remain calm.
HOWEVER, There are always exceptions to any rule !
-
If you are feeling under weather with the flu, just breathe to stay alive.
-
When you are embarking on your Yoga breathing journey, start slowly and just for a few minutes a day.
-
Most competitive sport encourage you to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.
-
Don’t dwell on your breathing pattern every moment of the day.
-
I would not recommend breathing out through the nose while swimming .
Cheers for now ,
