Here is a breathing exercise for waking up your subconscious mind.
If you practice this daily, I guarantee your life will improve drastically.
When you wake in the morning throw everything wide open; lie flat on your back with outstretched arms and no pillow and light covering or, what is better, none at all.
Relax from head to toe; close your mouth; take quietly a deep slow breath, filling the lungs evenly as possible all the way down; hold the breath as long as you can without straining; then see how very slowly and smoothly you can let the breath out.
Pay very particular attention to this. See how slowly and steadily you can exhale the breath.
Now, “get your breath” if you need to – as you certainly will if you are not used to deep breathing– and then do it over again.
Repeat this five to seven times.
Ideally take about four seconds to inhale, eight seconds for holding, and as many as possible for exhaling.
You may not be able to hold your breath so long at first, and that’s OK. Remember not to strain. It’s important to concentrate on Smooth, easy, steady – these are the first essentials. With practice you will lengthen the breath.
At first I could not inhale longer than two seconds, hold three and exhale three or four; and my heart beat as if I had exerted myself tremendously. It was awhile before I could take five successive breaths such as I have described to you, but just like everything else in life with a little practice things become easier.
What this breathing exercise do is throw your conscious mind out of the loop and allo your subconscious mind to engage, and when that happens you stop self-sabotaging yourself.
Try it for 30 days, and if it doesn’t work quit.
