The Wah Lum Conspiracy
We will get to the meaning of the title of this post in a minute.
But let’s delve into Breathing first. It’s the fundamental rhythm of life.
But have you ever considered the quality of your breath? Are you mindful of your breathing patterns?
Anything exceeding 15 breaths per minute might signal a dysfunctional pattern. That’s a staggering 21,600 breaths a day!
Watch out for telltale signs like strained facial expressions or tension in your neck. Survival-based breathing, where your breath travels upwards into the traps, can become habitual.
It’s a recipe for discomfort, leading to neck pain and headaches.
Optimal breathing involves a 360-degree expansion, like inflating a ball in all directions.
Shallow breathing restricts oxygen exchange, keeping our bodies in a perpetual state of stress.
Let’s not forget the importance of exhalation. A prolonged, relaxed exhale works wonders, calming the heart rate and easing tension.
During moments of stress, our tendency to hold our breath stems from ancient survival instincts.
But focusing on both proper inhalation and exhalation is crucial for balanced breathing.
Functional breathing isn’t just about the lungs; it impacts our entire body, from our visceral organs to the pelvic floor.
It’s a holistic approach to well-being.
Now, let’s unravel the Wah Lum Conspiracy.
Did you know the word “conspiracy” originates from the Latin “conspire,” literally meaning to breathe together?
At Wah Lum Kung Fu and Tai Chi classes, we prioritize deep, functional breathing as the cornerstone of our practice.
Thank you for being part of the Wah Lum Conspiracy.
