What we know and what we might not know !

Jai Gurudev !!

What we know is ....

We breathe to live !!

But do we  know how many breaths we take in and out per minute normally  ?


And do we know how many breaths we take in and out when we are angry ?


And the frequency of our breath is a varying factor  , meaning our breath rate changes with our emotions . Are we aware of this fact ....our own breath ?!

Do you know my breath rate ?

And can you guess my breath rate right at this moment ?

  

	Average	During the Anger/Tensed moments	During the Deep Meditation
No.of breaths per minute	16 to 17	20 to 25	2 to 3

Is it not amazing ?!

• And what we know is

By breathing , we take in oxygen and leave out Carbon di oxide.

     But do we know  ….

The deeper and longer the breath , the more the amount of oxygen that  enters the  cells and more toxins (CO2) go out of the cells .
This leaves the cells and in turn the body becomes more fresh  , energizing and healthy ;
the mind gets relieved of  tension  and attains a calm and settled state .

And in the calm state , the mind works quite efficiently  .

Not only that , the creativity skills increase , the mind lives in the present moment , does not worry about the past . No fear about the future .And Joy bubbles up for no reason.

• What we know is :

Tired Person -----> Deep sleep  for 8 hrs  ----> Fresh and rejuvenated

And what we don’t know is ….

Tired person  ----- > Meditation for ½  hr ----> Fresh and rejuvenated.

meaning

Deep sleep  for 8 hrs  <-------equivalent to ------> Meditation for ½  hr 
                  

Is it not quite interesting ?




Love & smiles...
