What always changes when emotions are stirred

When you are angry.
When you feel strong anxiety.
When your body tenses up from nervousness.

At these times, a common change is occurring in your body.

That is 'breathing'.

Breathing becomes shallow and fast, and sometimes it even stops.

This is not a matter of willpower or grit.
It is a very natural reaction inherent in the human body.

Why does thinking become disordered when breathing is disordered?

When breathing becomes shallow, the body judges that 'this might be dangerous.'

Then,

・Muscles tense up
・Heart rate increases
・The brain increases the 'amount of thinking'

This is because the body decides, 'I won't survive unless I do something.'

In other words,

Disordered breathing → Runaway thinking

This is a structural reaction of the body that occurs regardless of your will.

There is an easy-to-understand example.

Immediately after running a short distance at full speed.
The moment you finish a long-distance marathon.

What is your breathing like?

Surely, you wouldn't be able to think about anything other than 'catching your breath.'

・Today's dinner
・Work arrangements
・A message from someone

There is no room to think about such things.

Because,
your consciousness is completely focused on your breathing.

This state is, in fact,
almost the same as a 'meditative state.'

What people who are bad at meditation often misunderstand

'I can't clear my mind'
'My thoughts won't stop'

Many people feel this way, but
that is only natural.

In the modern age, we:

・Have too much information
・Are constantly trained to think
・Almost never have the experience of stopping our brains

Therefore,
trying to suddenly become 'empty' is impossible.

However, the moment your consciousness turns to your breathing,
your thoughts will calm down as a result.

Even without trying to stop them,
they will settle down on their own.

Actually, this has been known for a long time

For thousands of years,
this mechanism has been systematized in certain fields.

That is
the philosophy and practice system later called 'Yoga.'

In Yoga,
'breathing' is addressed before poses.

The reason is simple,

because they knew that if breathing is not set right, the mind will not be set right either.

This is by no means
a matter of spirituality or faith.

It is simply a very natural,
matter of 'human structure.'

Return to breathing rather than trying to stop your thoughts

When you are suffering from overthinking.

Instead of trying to 'stop thinking,'
please try returning to your breath for just a moment.

You do not need to breathe deeply,
nor do you need any special methods.

Just,
'I am breathing right now'
is enough to notice.

With just that,
your body will gradually try to return to its original state.

The next thing I want you to know

Actually, there are
times when it is easy to align your breathingand
times when it is not.

If you try hard without knowing that,
your efforts will be in vain and you will feel miserable.

If you ignore or neglect such breathing,
it will start to run wild on its own, and subsequently, along with your breathing,
your emotions will also start to run wild together...
Such a vicious cycle will occur.

In the next article,
I will talk a bit more concretely
about the true nature of that 'timing'.

Please look forward to it...ꔛ‬𖤐˒˒*

For English Readers

(This is not a direct translation.
It is a condensed version that preserves the core philosophy.)

People break down when they think too much, so the first thing to do is to get your breathing in order.

We often try to control our thoughts when we feel overwhelmed.
But the real starting point is not the mind — it is the breath.

When emotions rise, breathing changes automatically.
Shallow or rapid breathing signals danger to the body,
causing thoughts to race even more.

Focusing on the breath does not require talent or belief.
It simply works because of how the human body is designed.

This understanding has existed for thousands of years
and is quietly embedded in practices like yoga —
not as spirituality, but as human structure.

The next step is learning when breathing becomes easier to regulate.
Timing matters more than effort.
