Every breath is a moment of growth followed by a moment of surrender. Awareness of these patterns is the gateway to controlling your energy and your state of mind. A relaxed and heightened self-awareness creates emotional balance and is the key to exercising your will on the golf course.
For most people, breathing is rarely a thoughtful endeavor. Breathing is often shallow and incomplete. Vigorous use of the lungs is usually relegated to challenging aerobic exercise. In yoga practice, one learns to breathe mindfully, directing the breath and focused attention toward the sensations experienced in each posture.
Thousands of years ago, early yogis realized learning to breathe fully and evenly nurtured both the body and the mind. Modern physics theorizes matter and energy as similar manifestations only with varied density. Consider your body and mind in this way. The practice of Pranayama was developed to bring body and mind into balance through awareness of the breath. Pranayama is done by itself, and throughout yoga practice, to promote clarity of mind and growth through a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection.
Notice shifts in your energy. Notice when your reactive mind injects the illusions of negative conditioning or when you start thinking of the past or the future. You may always return to your breath. You may always change your pattern. Take a deep, full breath. Take in whatever you need. Relax and be in the moment.
