Abstract

There is a hidden power inside us that helps us overcome all the obstacles. We just have to learn to get that unmanned power and energy out. We can do it through body discipline, breathing, senses, concentration and meditation. When breathing wanders so does happen with the mind, when the breath is quiet, so is the mind. To reduce stress, breath control is the most relevant tool to calm the mind. When we are scared or nervous, breathing is shallow, fast and irregular, when we are relaxed or in a deep state of thinking, breathing becomes slow. Since our state of mind reflects in this way, it results that we can also control our mood. By regulating breathing, not only increases oxygen intake but prepares us for exercising concentration and meditation.
