4:6 Breath + Body Scan For Rest

A body scan + 4:6 breath for rest any time of day. Begin the meditation by visualizing what rest means to you. Move into a body scan with breath awareness. Finish with the 4:6 breath-breathe in your nose for a count of 4 and exhale through your mouth for a count of 6. Longer exhales activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for signaling rest and digest in your body. Body scans help lessen anxiety and decrease cortisol levels. Enjoy the dynamic duo!

Reviews

That was excellent. I normally look at reviews before listening but I took a chance on this meditation- the title sounded perfect. The 4:6 breathing really made a difference in my anxiety and body tension. I actually feel relaxed and that ball of tightness in my chest is gone. At one point I felt I was floating on a cloud- I didn’t feel my body underneath me. Maybe it’s my tired brain but I’m adding this to my favorites.
