Aloha "The Breath of Life"
To Breathe or Not to Breathe, That Is The Question
Aloha! Stand up and say it real loud ALOHA! Does that not feel really good! ALOHA!
What is Aloha? It is Hawaiian for Hello and Good-by. When I lived in Hawaii and with my travels back to the Islands I have come to understand it has a much deeper meaning. Far more significant. It has a depth. It is Unconditional Love. It is Peace. It is Spiritual. It is a paradigm for Life. It is a way of life. A Life Force! Understanding the root of the word Aloha, Ha in Hawaiian means "breath" or in other words "to Breathe Life".
Yep! you are so right! But what you may not know there is a right and wrong way to breathe. The breath is tied the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems. Or your flight or flight response. When you learn to breathe correctly, you can control you emotional state. Now you have a very powerful tool. A tool to calm emotions. Calm your current state of Mind. Getting control of emotion allows for better focus. Control of thoughts. Better problem solving. More awareness of your current surroundings. An awareness of everyone and everything.
You want more Aloha in your life? It starts with the Breath. It takes practice every day. I stared with Box Breathing. I recommend using the Unbeatable Mind Box breathing App you can get at the App store (Unbeatable Mind Box Breathing). It has a video demonstration. Here is a Video with Mark Divine going through how to start the process (Mark Divine Box Breathing). As you work thought the Unbeatable Mind training you will lean other exercises in breathing practice.
So say ALOHA! Keeping in mind we all are from the same source. So fill your heart with the Aloha Spirit! Take a deep breath and Breathe! Just Breathe!
ALOHA my Friends!
