During uncertain times, it is especially comforting to settle into the simple yet effective practice of belly breathing. This proven method helps our body & mind let go of anxiety and tension by activating the vagus nerve. You can do this several times a day & it is suitable to include your children as well. This audio begins & ends with a beautiful quote by Stephen Levine. Music from Pond 5 by Arctic Media/Absynth Media & Indie Music Box. Sending healing light to our world.

Appreciate the kind message and the soothing voice, this was wonderfully relaxing 😊 One thing that I could not quite figure out was how to meet discomfort with mercy, meeting it with kindness and compassion feels more appropriate.
