Time is cruel — the hours forever disappearing, the seconds lost in the aftermath of endless obligations. Maintaining the demands of your life (as well as your sanity) seems impossible: with all moments claimed by a career, a family and social needs. You are…. busy, and the breathwork techniques you were encouraged to try offer no relief. The methods they urge are weak; the comfort they swear to give never comes. You think the entire exercise is without point.
What it’s truly lacking, however, is consistency.
Breathwork — the belief that carefully regulating inhalations allows individuals to achieve heightened senses of calm — is a recognized form of therapy (even when deemed alternative). It therefore requires the same dedication that mainstream efforts receive: regular scheduling. Trying to spare a few seconds each day won’t provide rewards. Instead patients will find themselves gaining little more than hyperventilation… and the frustration that follows.
It’s imperative that breathwork is maintained properly. Techniques should be attempted at the same time each day — without interruption. Scheduling a mere 10 minute pause between duties will ensure effectiveness: allowing the method to become what it promises. Trying to exhale at random moments (without creating a pattern) will not work.
Breathing demands more than half-hearted attempts. It instead requires constancy. Individuals must find ways to incorporate their training into their daily lives. This will secure success — rather than sparking a dislike for the entire practice.
Conquering time seems impossible. It can, however, be done: as long as the necessary effort is offered.
