Shine Love & Light on Our Breath & Breathing

It keeps us alive. When we struggle with it, it's stressful and all consuming. Yet, for many of us, it's unconscious and barely a consideration in our health and wellbeing.   In this episode, I explore this lost art and the value in prioritising our breath and breathing with Emma Abbott, a dear friend, Vedic Meditation teacher and founder of Metta with Emma.   Emma guides us through some simple and profound breathing exercises, shares incredible stories about the power of breath, and reminds us that we can control our breath to positively impact our lives moment by moment.  In this episode we talk about: The power of breath to heal and its importance in healing Breath as our fuel How breath can alter our consciousness, transcend body & mind, and take you on a journey. Creating a relationship and awareness of our breath. How breath impacts our sympathetic & parasympathetic nervous systems.
