Attentive and mindful breathing makes the difference between conscious and unconscious, playful and serious, free and convulsive, vital and exhausted. Breath immediately brings you into the moment, into the here and now.

When you start paying attention to your breathing, you will notice that there is often a different way of breathing for every mood. When you are afraid you hold your breath or when you are excited you breathe faster.

When you start breathing more consciously, there can be a shift and thus a change in the feelings and emotions you are in contact with at that moment. This allows you to be more present with what is happening within you. Being present in the moment also brings peace and relaxation.
