Breathing hand is a wonderful meditation that provides a sense of calming, connecting within and self-soothing. This practice is appropriate for all levels and ages. It's a fun one to do with children who can identify with their bodies being tools for healing and self-regulating emotions. Breathing hand is a foundational practice that immediately releases oxytocin from the pituitary gland to comfort and produces energy of love within.

Welcome,

Om Bytes.

Today's meditation is intended for the younger set,

And it is entitled,

Breathing Hand.

We'll begin with the sound of the chime and conclude the same way.

So come to a comfortable seat.

Drop into your bones and lift your heart high.

Take a big belly breath in and a long and soothing breath out.

Did you know that the whole body breathes and your hand breathes too?

Let me show you.

So what we do is place our non-dominant hand onto your thigh.

And you take the opposite hand,

Your dominant hand,

Pointing the index finger and place this index finger at the base of your thumb on the non-dominant hand on your thigh.
