Now that Christmas stress is behind us, we can look for ways to enhance our emotional, mental, and physical states, and The Substitute is your cure for those everyday moments. When we intentionally alter our breathing patterns, we actively influence our emotions and cognitions. It is physiologically impossible to be in a state of distress when the breath is smooth, calm, and regulated, and The Substitute reminds you to do just that- breathe. Conscious breathing helps you navigate difficult thoughts and emotions and experiences, creating the space to respond with intention and objectivity. Use The Substitute to pause and reset before responding emotionally or physically. This practice will help you achieve a state of calm and presence so you can engage more deeply with life. It will guide you to a deeper connection with your body, mind, and the world around you. The Substitute is designed to heal, with nothing inside to hurt or harm you. Just breathe.
