What triggers contractive breathing?

To me, it is thoughts? Yes it can be exercise, and dust and maybe some smells, but 80% is from my thoughts, What is it I was thinking about ten minutes ago, that went unnoticed triggering off my tight breathing?

To anwser that, ask… Where do thoughts come from?

Answer: from what we are thinking about now (front brain) and from what we are unknowingly thinking about, past or future (back of brain).

Example: - Im at work and the task at hand is challenging to do right now (front brain). - Will I have enough money this month to pay the mortgage?, future (back of brain). My childhood was no pleasant. 

As negative thoughts generally are contractive in thought and positive thoughts are expansive in thought, the body reactes the same way.

The emotions that I generate to each of these thoughts, like frustration, boredom, concern and worry, acctivates the heart to beat more than usual from anxiety or stress, then more oxygen is being pumped throughout out the body to compensate, leading to over oxygenising of the body.

The lungs over fill with oxygen, the lungs cannot cope with the higher level of oxygen, the lungs call out for you to stop over breathing, you don’t hear the call, the lungs shut down the lungs, causing contractive breathing.

Spend the day, observing your thoughts, see if you agree and if so, write them done or on your phone and then when you get your next contractive breath, go down your list and notice what you were thinking about.

“yes, that is right, I was concerned about the amount of work I have to do next week preparing my children to go to camp”.

Let me now you comments below to how you go with this...
