Great Things That Happen When You Do Mindful Breathing
Fight pain
It’s common to see, directly after an injury, that people gather around the injured party and encourage them to take deep breaths. They’re onto something. When we experience pain, our brain should send out a pleasure response that helps combat it, but that response can become dulled in some humans over time, especially those who struggle with chronic pain. Deep breathing can help re-awaken the pain-fighting pleasure response.
