This next breathing technique is actually the belly breathing and we experienced this earlier in the meditation that we did.

However,

If you'd like to do a shorter version of five or ten minutes only,

Then my invitation to you is where you place one hand on your lower belly and the other hand on the upper chest,

Expelling all the stale air and breathing out to begin with,

Out through the mouth,

All the stale air.

When you're ready,

Gently close your mouth and breathing in through the nose,

The intention of directing the breath all the way down to the lower belly,

The intention to expand the belly and let it rise all the way.

The idea is,

Is that as you breathe in,

The belly rises,

All the while keeping the upper body,

The lungs,

So very still,

For it is the lungs that hold our habit patterns,

Our anxieties,

Our worries.

When the mind is busy,

The lungs are also racing,

So the idea is,

Is to bring that belly breath all the way down to the hips.

The goal here is to do about six to ten deep,

Slow breaths per minute,

Taking your time,

And immediately this technique reduces your heart rate and blood pressure.

You might like to practice this one every day for ongoing health benefits.

You can press pause and practice this one for a few moments.
