June 4, 2021 - After focusing on the breath yesterday, I wanted to keep going with the breath today. There is a method of breathing called Viloma "A" Breath, or more understandably, Interrupted Inhalation Breathing.

This method really helps to expand your breathing, and, by doing that also calming the mind. Isn't the breath awesome!
