When someone is trying to hand you a gift, if your hands are clenched in a fist, you won't be able to receive it. In the same way, if our energy is all clamped up tight in stress and fear, we can't receive the blessings the Universe is sending our way.
When we are in fear or stressed-out, we tend to hold our breath. And thus life's flow is put on hold, or at least hindered, since we are not breathing fully. Our breath allows energy to flow through us.
In order to get to the other side of fear, we must focus on relaxing, and we can do that through the breath. Whatever fear we are facing... of illness, job loss, relationship problems, etc... slow and relaxed breathing will get us to a mental and emotional state where we can receive intuitive guidance as to what we need to do in order to resolve the problem.
