Spiritual Level
Practice this breathing technique and meditation regularly. it will become second nature for you soon. This breath pattern can be used all when you are feeling uncomfortable feelings, noticing your old pattern turn up, or when you get triggered or stuck in your process.
The pattern has a ratio of 1-4-2. For example, if you inhale for a count of 5, hold the breath for a count of 20, then exhale for a count of 10. Use the state you create to tap in to your presence and levels of consciousness. Connection is a MUSCLE we build. While this practice is simple, it is very very important. The connections you condition with this practice will make the future meditations and processes even easier.
