This 5-minute breath awareness practice can help to calm the mind into a peaceful and restful state. Mindful conscious breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) which can signal the rest and relax response, slowing your heart rate and stimulating your vagus nerves. Through breath control we learn to regulate the sympathetic nervous system from a state of fight or flight to a state of calm.
