7 Min Nervous System Reset With "Bee Breath"

Take a few moments to connect with your breath and let it soothe your nervous system, help you release inner tension, and create more space for peace. In this practice, you'll be first guided through some soft, exhale-focused breaths to help you let go of stress and heaviness, and then we'll move towards "Bhramari Pranayama" (Bee Breath), one of the most healing techniques for your nervous system, which engages the vagus nerve and helps you shift into the "rest and digest" parasympathetic state. Just take a comfortable seat and enjoy this healing reset.
