Breathing Relaxation 1

A short breathing meditation. We breathe every second of every minute of every day and yet 99% of the time, we are unaware of it. Learning to pay attention to the breath is a cornerstone of meditation.

Notice which hand is moving as you breathe in and out. And gently and easily and comfortably move your breathing down, Down into the stomach, Down so that the lower hand, The hand on your stomach is rising as you breathe in and falling as you breathe out.

That was very good. Definitely more alert. Relaxed. Motivated.
Thank you very much 💐💚

Great technique, Andrew's voice is deep, soothing and very professional. His voice feels like a blend of authority and serenity: confident enough to teach, but gentle enough to make you feel like you’re being guided through a spiritual meadow.

So gentle and yet powerful. So relaxing. Thank you, Andrew. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

This is the first ever Meditation in over 10 years that helped me realise the different breathing from chest to belly/abdomen.

Excellent way to slow down in a short amount of time, and also feel refreshed. Great as always, Andrew! 👏
