Abdominal Breathing

Try this short abdominal breathing exercise to help you quickly reduce your levels of stress & anxiety. When we’re anxious, we tend to breathe faster and take shallow breaths from our chest. If we change the way that we breathe to both mimic the breathing of a relaxed person & also to specifically activate the parasympathetic nervous system, we can induce the relaxation response. The idea is to take slow deep breaths at an even pace with your exhale longer than your inhale. Breathe to relax.

Such a perfect way to start my day! I feel calm and centered. Tension has moved out of my neck and shoulders. I think I love myself enough to practice this sweet little moment every day!

As the teacher started the counting, I finally found myself slowing down too, with a more relaxed body. Thank you for this lovely start to my day. Namaste. 🌺🌸
