Breathe & Reset For Calm & Energy

Pause for 6 minutes to reconnect with your breath, body, and the present moment. In this guided breathing meditation, you'll use the image of climbing and descending a mountain as you explore different rhythms of breathing.

At the top of the mountain, you'll pause to notice something beautiful, meaningful, or worthy of gratitude before allowing the breath to carry you back down.

This gentle practice can help you shift your energy, settle your mind, and notice what you need in this moment. Perfect for a midday reset, a transition between activities, or anytime you want to pause and reconnect with yourself.
