Inhale, exhale... and once again

Have you ever noticed that when you are experiencing heightened emotions, your breath is often dramatically affected? When I am feeling scared I usually notice that I take shorter, shallower breaths. When I get angry I have a tendency to take sporadic breaths and even unknowingly holding my breath for short periods.

Noticing how you are breathing is an important technique in cultivating mindfulness into your life. The first thing to notice is where in your body you are breathing from?
