Why Your Breath & Your Heart Are Linked...Literally

As we breathe, we impact our heart. Literally. And our breath pattern also directly influences our emotions.

Now there is more than just chemical exchanges in our body that causes this. As well as past beliefs, values and trauma that also impact how we feel.

Yet there is one HUGE physical impact that links the power of our breath with our heart. A reason that our breath adjusts when we feel emotional pain, heart-break, extreme joy and love.

And the reason?

The heart is LITERALLY protected and encased by our lungs. The very physiological body part the we use to breathe physically surrounds and sits along side our heart.

In fact, our left lung is smaller than our right lung because it needs to provide space for our heart.

Feel what I'm saying here. Cause this is profound. The link between our breath and our heart is not just emotional. It's physical. It's not just spiritual, it's physical.

We can influence our heart, our spirit and our emotions way more than we realise. And if we also now understand the physical BOND between the lungs (our breath) and our heart. It's a lot easier to understand why.

Breathe well. And feel the fullness of your heart and soul :-)
