Now, sit comfortably in a chair, or lie on your back, your head supported by two average-sized paperbacks, with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor .
Take a few moments to relax and tune into the breath.
Breathe in and out through your nose.
When you are ready, draw your breath consciously into the lower part of your lungs. The best way to do this is to breathe in, trying to keep your shoulders from rising up as you breathe. This will help you to connect the breath to the movement of your diaphragm.
Start by breathing in on a count of five and out on a count of eight.
As you inhale, feel your lower chest expand in all directions: front to back, top to bottom, side to side. As you fill with air, begin to notice the sensations in detail.
Imagine your lungs turning (metabolizing) this air into energy.
Begin to visualize light, colour, or any image or sensation that brings life to this idea of ‘energetic breath’ as you inhale. When you are full, or you have reached the point of strain or tension, slowly release the breath with a sigh of relief.
You are feeding and nourishing yourself with energetic breath (Life Force).
As our thoughts are also energy (electro magnetic pulses and photons), you can use energetic breath work to energize and increase good thoughts and feelings, and diffuse negative thoughts and feelings.
Focus on the in- breath for five cycles to activate the sympathetic nervous system and raise your energy. Then change focus to the out-breath for five cycles to release energy and create a relaxing state. The process of slowly breathing out will activate the para- sympathetic nervous system which helps to decrease feelings of stress.
Think of situations when you are stressed out and notice how your sigh-rate increases.
Therefore to instill confidence, gain empathy, and create rapport we must adopt a particular type of behaviour – one that conveys a precise message.
By preparing with some energetic breath work and getting ourselves into the required energetic state and attitude, we ensure that our whole demeanour will communicate the mood and effect we are trying to achieve.
