Yoga Nidra Breath Sensing

Breath Awareness : Yoga Nidra  Breath Sensing

Breath sensing is being aware of your breath. This nourishes your ability to focus.

Noting and following your breath develops your ability to focus on the experience of your body’s natural cycles of inhalation and exhalation.

It supports your central nervous system in maintaining a healthy balance between your fight-flight-freeze and rest-renew-heal responses.

Breath awareness helps you release tension and feel at ease in your mind and body.

It also improves your ability to sense and respond to the messengers that are constantly delivering information to you from your body and mind. Your improved ability to sense and respond to this information supports you to be responsive, compassionate, and caring toward yourself and others (Graham 2013; Hanson 2009).

Keep in mind as you practice breath sensing to fully enter into the experience of your breath. Rather than thinking about your breath, note, feel, follow, and experience it. Feel yourself completely engaged by the sensation of each breath.
