PLAYING WITH BREATH: Mente Joven Project outdoors #ESO3 are now friends of breath

FRIENDS OF BREATH. "LEARNING TO BREATHE": "TELL ME HOW YOU BREATHE AND I WILL TELL YOU THE WAY YOU LIVE."

The way we breathe impacts directly the way we feel, and the other way around. 



An adaptation from Teacher Alberto Reviriego’s Text.

Breathing is one of the keys to leading a healthy and fulfilling life. Just thinking that we cannot live without breathing makes us absolutely dependent on it. However, breathing is sometimes unknown to us and worked on very little.

Breathing is like a link among all living things. It also constitutes a form of communication since when we breathe in, we somehow “inhale” what surrounds us and when we breathe out, we return what is inside us to the outside. Breathing is an exchange between our inner and outer “Me” so that if this harmony is disturbed it is because something wrong is going on.

You are going to practice breathing: a full, conscious and controlled, slow and rhythmic breathing.

Breathing has to lead us to relax and attached to ourselves. Breathing properly allows us to be mentally balanced and focuses us on what we are doing in the present moment. Therefore, it is essential to listen to our breathing.

Learning Outcomes of the activity shown in the video:

1. The students will learn to breathe correctly: how to take a slow, long, conscious and controlled breath.

2. The students will learn to breathe in a way in which breathing could be taken as an instrument of communication with what surrounds us.

3. The students will develop conscious, mindful breathing.

                PLAYING WITH BREATH

We all noticed the physical sensations of the breathing, including the movements of the rib cage, the movements of muscles in the abdomen, the movements of the skin against our clothing, and of course the touch of air inside the body’s airways. It was a very nice outdoors experience for everyone.
