The Correlation between Breath and Energy

An evening sky is full of light grays, deep oranges, and shining blue streaks. A full moon, big, bright, and joyful looking, hovers above the calm ocean.

These and many more natural sights can literally take your breath away for a few seconds as their beauty, rather than air, fills your lungs.

Scientists and psychologists have agreed that there is a direct relationship between breath rate, mood state, and how our autonomic nervous system functions.
