How Do You Inhabit Your Body?To inhabit something means “to exist or be situated within; dwell in”. The word inhabit is derived from the Latin word or phrase “in habitare”, which in turn is connected to the Latin word, “Habitus”, or in plain English, ‘habit’ which is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as “an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary”.  The question, “How do you inhabit your body?” not only means how do you reside in your physical self, but also what are the repetitious patterns that have become habit within this body that you dwell in. Stay with me, I promise this is going somewhere…

dandelionsMost of us probably don’t realize or pay much attention to the fact that the average human can only survive about 4 minutes without air before brain cells start to die and serious damage begins to set in. Oxygen is one of the most critical building blocks for our entire system. We can go without food and water for more extended periods of time but not without oxygen. We need to understand the importance of breath, oxygen, and the process of respiration before we suffer a fatal repercussion. In almost every instance when working with people to improve their health I find that breathwork and learning how to breathe efficiently becomes a key point of intervention. It might sound odd that something so basic, which assumingly occurs so naturally, may, in fact, have to be re-learned. Realistically, if breathing patterns aren’t addressed people typically end up suffering the consequences of poor respiration in a variety of subtle ways. Fatigue, moodiness, depression, poor digestion, inhibited cognitive functioning, short term memory loss, even decreased immune function can all be related to poor breathing patterns and ineffective respiration.  The sad truth is that by the time we are adults most of us have lost the ability to breathe naturally in a way that truly supports our Whole Self Health.
