Fear? Breathe! (part 2)
"Fear is only excitement without the breath."
- Robert Heller
Our breath is connected to the way our brain releases certain chemicals in our brains. Breathing in and out through our mouth releases adrenaline that signals our body to react to situations such as danger or the need for quick action.
When we can identify that we are having fear and we wish to let it go, adrenaline is not what we want. Instead, breathing in and out slowly and deeply through our nose signals the brain to relax.
Have fear? Breathe!
