Depth & Dignity

How You Breathe Matters

Jen Wilking Season 1 Episode 8

You can influence your heart rate, respiratory rate, muscle tension, pain level, mood, digestion, brain function, and sleep quality with better breathing.

With an average breathing rate of 14 times per minute, 840 times per hour, and over 20,000 times per day, how you breathe matters.

Three tips for breathing well.

  • Breathe through your nose whenever possible.
  • Guide your inhalation to the bottom of your rib cage.
  • Slow your breathing down.

Try it along with the cues, and find what works for you.
