Influencing the breath by lengthening your inhales and extending your exhales to regulate the nervous system & access a new level of calm within the mind and body. Conscious breath patterns allow for the body to return back to its baseline, which acts as a reset having a positive effect on mental health and emotional wellbeing. A wandering mind is normal, notice it, welcome it, then come back to your breath. You will be breathing in through the nose, mouth closed, unless specified otherwise.
