Influence emotions through breath

European researchers have found that breath is the link between the mind and the body - each emotion has a distinct breathing pattern For example, when we are:
 Angry: Your breath comes in short, quick cycles  Sad or upset: Your breath comes in long and deep cycles
Angry: Breath becomes short and quick Sad or upset: Breath becomes long and deep
The reverse is also true, that breathing in a particular pattern can induce a corresponding emotion. So instead of being overwhelmed by our emotions, we can transform those using specific breathing techniques. Through Sudarshan Kriya we can learn to skilfully use the breath to change the way we feel, hence releasing negative emotions that cause stress, such as anger, anxiety, depression and worry, leaving the mind completely happy, relaxed, and energized.
