Hot Chocolate Breathing

Hot chocolate breath is a way to slow the exhale without having to think about slowing the exhale. Any time you create resistance with your mouth or nose, your exhale will be slower than usual. And slow exhales help to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system—telling your heart rate to slow and your brain to relax.

The first part of this practice is adapted from Breathe Well by Aimee Hartley.

I absolutel loved this practice!! It's such a clever method and it really helps with breathing! Thank you so much 😊

Wow, wonderful quick fix 🙏❤️🙏

I found the teacher’s voice pleasant. My breathing slowed as soon as I visualized inhaling my mocha coffee. I wanted to savour it. Thank you for offering this creative meditation.
